The community in Union City, California rally together in a march to bring awareness to the renaming of Alvarado Middle School. This school will possibly be renamed after two Filipino-American heroes Larry Itliong and Philip Vera Cruz. It will possibly be the first school in the U.S. be named in honor of Filipinos.
Larry Itliong and Philip Vera Cruz were Filipino-American labor leaders, farm workers, and leaders in the Asian American civil rights movement.
The purpose of this blog is to celebrate and offer opinions about various Filipino-American topics. Hopefully this blog will empower you and make you proud of your heritage. Filipinos are sometimes known as the forgotten Asians. However, Filipinos across the United States are in the news, movies, television, music, community, fashion, education and so much more. Enjoy and comeback often. If you would like to contribute an article or anything please contact us!
