Hi, my name is Mariela Francisco, or "Mari" (to make it easier on everyone). I was born and raised in Metro Manila and moved to America when I was 8. I felt as if I was lost in touch with my culture for half of my life and didn't understand what it was to be Filipino. I went to Westmoor High School, there my interest in my culture reignited. I'm currently in my first semester at skyline and the Kababayan program. After all those years one thing that I did understand was that that Filipino food is good, it was the only thing connecting me. Hence our barangay name, Jollibee. Food is the key to happiness. To me a community is a group of people who share the same intrinsic values and live in unity. I'm not sure what this community holds for me and I'm still exploring my options, hopefully it turns out okay.
