I don't know, but Alpha Phi Omega - Philippines is not one of them. As my Brother already explained, they are different administratively but are part of the International Council of Alpha Phi Omega.

It's called an Oblation Run, a tradition since 1977. In a nutshell, the members of APO-Phils. (members, not pledges) take part in this demonstration to protest something or to commemorate something.

(Or a fraternity at that. They're rather a group of people who are interested in service, which imo is not a definition of brotherhood or enough to make you considered a fraternity. Just my two cents.)

You are not familiar with APO-Phils. Not only is it different from the USA counterpart, but I would very much agree that it is just as fraternal as the rest of the organizations in the Philippine university system.
Your narrow definition of fraternity is unfortunate, but not surprising.
