Why the nameBakit Bayanihan
We borrowed the name from the barrioHiniram namin ang pangalan sa baryo
In the province, when a family had to move, the neighbors would slide bamboo poles under the nipa house and carry the whole thing down the road on their shoulders. Nobody was paid. Somebody's lola cooked for everyone afterwards.
That is still roughly how we work. About 260 of us, mostly from Daly City, Colma, South San Francisco and Pacifica: nurses and caregivers, airport staff, students at Skyline, and the lolos and lolas who raised most of them. When someone's car breaks down, gets a diagnosis or lands a new job, the whole fellowship picks up a pole.

Built around twelve-hour shiftsPara sa mga naka-12 oras na shift
Half the fellowship works nights at Seton, Kaiser and SFO, so we run Sunday twice and keep the weeknights short. Today's column is marked.

Nobody leaves before they've eatenWalang uuwi nang hindi kumakain
After both services the folding tables come out in the fellowship hall. Each care group takes a Sunday: pancit, adobo, lumpia rolled the night before, and a rice cooker the size of a suitcase.
If it is your first Sunday, you go to the front of the line. That rule is Tita Baby's, and she enforces it.

Why people stayBakit sila nananatili
I came to the 2 PM straight off a twelve-hour shift in the ICU, still in scrubs. Nobody blinked. Somebody handed me a plate and told me to sit down.
My lola moved here at 78 and didn't know anyone. Now she has a group chat with forty titas and a better social life than me.
When the typhoon hit my mother's town in Albay, the fellowship had forty boxes packed by Saturday. I didn't even ask.
