The US is a second home for wonder | wonder | women which we have come to love it as deeply as our original homeland, the Philippines.

Filipino Americans are the second largest Asian American group in the nation and the third largest ethnic group in California, after Latinx and African Americans. The October 18 celebration commemorates not only Filipino heritage but our presence in this country.
Fil-Am organizations across the US campaign and support local actions and current events happening in the Philippines and the US. For all Filipinos - those living and working in the Philippines and abroad.
The Bayanihan Spirit - art by MattersMost |
We band together and practice bayanihan traditions, the spirit that keeps our culture and communities alive and thriving no matter where we are.
Filipinos will go out of our way to help kababayans in need. May we all continue to keep this spirit alive, within us and in our world. Mabuhay!
