As June 12 approaches, Filipino communities across the world prepare to commemorate the independence of the Philippines from long time colonizer, Spain, on June 12, 1898.
Communities often have fiestas with vendors and entertainment. In Vallejo, Pista sa Ngayon will be on Saturday, June 6, 2009. In Sacramento, the Filipino American Fiesta of Sacramento will be on Sunday, June 7, 2009. In San Francisco, the Fiesta Filipina will be on June 13, 2009.
There certainly is much to be celebrated, as well as improved, in the Philippine and Filipino American community.
