FAQ:
Q. What is “Isang Bagsak”?
A. Every PCE meeting ends with a unity clap “Isang Bagsak.”
Isang Bagask, or “one fall,” is adopted from a practice by Anti-Martial Law activists in the Philippines. To show unity, Isang Bagsak was powerfully proclaimed by a member of the movement and in unison, the community would make a loud sound either by clapping or stomping. As time has gone on, various activist organizations have borrowed the use of Isang Bagsak to show unity at their marches, protests, meetings, and events. Started by Artnelson Concordia, a teacher-activist-scholar, Isang Bagsak was combined with the Unity Clap, which some have attributed to the Farm Workers Movement.
The Unity Clap imitates a heartbeat, starting with a slow clap and crescendo’s in a faster pace clap that culminates into someone yelling Isang Bagsak and the community ends with a single clap or stomp that overcomes any language barriers and shows their togetherness. PCE is a family, and when one falls, we all fall.
