Thousands of Americans with a Philippine heritage attended Filipino Heritage Night at AT&T Park, where the San Francisco Giants played against the Houston Astros. First of all, unfortunately, the Giants lost 3-6, but it was a close game until the top of the seventh inning.
The night was actually part of a series of nights for Asian Heritage Week, where Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese individuals were also given a "theme" night. May 14, 2008, however, was a night for Filipinos, an often hidden group. Others say forgotten, but I believe that we have not been forgotten, only hidden from the public eye.
But I digress. Whoever went was bound to see someone from their past. I myself saw people from college (Go UC DAVIS!) as well as brothers from Chi Rho Omicron, Inc. 
A lot of other groups went, decked out in uniform clothing bearing their logos and icons. Of course, a lot of fans donned their Filipino Heritage Night t-shirt. It was a family affair and one could see children, parents, and grandparents all rooting for their beloved Giants.

Anytime that there is a group of Filipinos together, it is bound to be fun. This night was no different. Hopefully, the Giants saw the financial benefit to doing this and will repeat the event again next season.
Kudos to the Giants organization and thanks for having us!
