October has arrived and Filipino American History Month, also known as the Filipino American Heritage Month, is here. The Filipino American National Historical Society established the month as Fil-Am History Month in the year 1988. In California and Hawaii, where large number of Filipino Americans reside, Filipino American History Month is widely celebrated in these states. Many Filipino American organizations in these states often initiate their own independent celebrations.
Some argue that Filipino American History Month has not yet attained the prestige of other similar minority celebrations, such as the Black History Month, Women’s History Month, and the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. This is evidenced by the fact that no United States Congress has ever resolved to recognize Filipino American History Month.
Here’s an interesting documentary made last year that signifies our existence in America. This Film Documentary (part 1) shows the representation or lack of Filipino Americans in the media, film, literary, pop culture and even food. It will show some ambiguities as to which the Filipino Americans are seen as. These questions are presented and answered by professional and credible Filipino Americans representing their communities. The interviews will include a TV news journalist, Filipino magazine founder, restaurant owners, Immigration lawyer, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsome, Pop-culture performers and shop owners. Locations include a major Filipino Festival, The Philippines, San Francisco, and the bay area.
Music from Florante Aguilar & Lori Abucayan is used as a backbone for the Documentary.
Bay Area’s Female fighting Pride of the Filipino American community Ana “The Hurricane” Julaton won the vacant International Boxing Association super bantamweight crown after defeating the seasoned Kelsey “The Road Warrior” Jeffries at the HP Pavillion in San Jose (Sept. 12, 2009). This was only her fifth professional fight compared to Jeffries’ fighting history 41-9-1 record, multiple titles and three world championships.
