Stockton: Little Manila
WarDuring World War II, the perspective the Americans had on the Filipinos changed when many Filipinos fought alongside the U.S. Their brave actions led to two all-Filipino Regiments of the U.S. Army being one of the most highly decorated of the war. Eventually, laws were changed which made it possible for Filipino men to marry and created a new generation of Filipino-Americans.Learning about how and why Filipinos migrated to the United States from the Philippines is important because it is part of our country's history and culture. It lets us 1st and 2nd generation Filipino-Americans know how our grandparents and great-grandparents made it possible for us to have a better life.

My name is Serina Lui. I like to play and watch basketball, and my two favorite players are Derrick Rose and Devin Booker. I have two siblings- an older and younger brother, so that makes me the middle child and it's not as bad as people make it seem. I also really like to read books because it's like a mental movie. My favorite food is sushi, and although vanilla is one of the most basic flavors for ice cream, it is still my favorite. I am also going into the business major, preferably marketing, advertisement, or international business, because with these three options, it works closely with people and the way people think. To me, community means the people around you who you relate to or have the same goals as you. I think that someone can be a part of multiple communities and are not limited to just one. A community is both a group of people and, or a place and each community varies from each other because of the different aspects they carry.
Hi, I'm Brice Reyes & my barangay is called R.O.D. Our motto is "Ride or Die." I'm 18 years old coming into my first year of college. I plan to transfer to Foothill community college next year and enroll in their Veterinarian Technician program. My goal is to become an animal nurse & travel to other countries to help other animals. I love to play sports & dance in my free time. I currently dance at Westlake School for the Performing Arts and I'm part of their junior hip-hop team, APT.
My definition of community is they are the people who you're constantly surrounded by & they all have similar interests and beliefs that influence the choices you make. |
