MANILA: QUEEN OF THE PACIFIC. A 1938 Film by The Screen Traveler. This is before we were born. Those who were born in the 1930s, our parents and grandparents, it's something different to view because while World War I was raging in Europe, the Filipino people were living the easy and simple life. Note that the ubiquitous jeepneys were not to be seen on the roads yet - a modified jeep left behind in World War II by the Americans after the liberation of the Philippines.

Thanks for calling me from Helsinki and informing me about your Manila High School alumni reunion in the Philippines in February 2012. The way I understand, there's no grand reunion but small batchmate party since it takes money and time to hold an event like that in big venues/restaurants, especially when you're living abroad. However, you are inviting everyone to join you in your mini-reunion party in Paco, Manila, (what date?), visiting the school on February 19, 2012 and tour of Palawan after that.
Since you're GoD, I'm forwarding the videos of Filipino folk dancers of Skokie who performed at the Filipino American History Month event. I love the tinikling. They were all American born and they are great! Now that you're back in Helsinki, are you back to teaching folk dancing?
Time out.

Dear Mang Anong~PINOY Publisher,
I enjoy reading your PINOY, The Filipino American Newsmagazine. It's really and truly a wealth of useful information - health, economics, politics, and many things that are happening about our kababayans in the Philippines, here in the US and OFWs all around the world. What touched me most in your latest October 2011 issue is what I read in the OBITUARY - Roll of remembrance: Bells toll for 20 Filipinos. Why so? On September 11, we just celebrated the 10th Anniversary of remembering what happened on that tragic day and the 3,000 people that died in the attack, some Filipinos among them. But who were they? Thank you for publishing their names and now I know a little about them - what kind of work they did and their age, among other things. They are no longer unknown dead to me and properly pray for them by mentioning their names.
More power to your PINOY!

@ Jelly
Thank you for correcting. I'll correct by putting annotations on the video because the subtitles were attached in the video and could not be changed or deleted. I'm so proud to have you as a neighbor and fellow Filipino Americans here in Skokie because of your hard work and dedication to promote our cultural heritage. I appreciate you inviting and reminding me and my college classmate Vicky who does not have an e-mail and just notify her of any activities. I wish there's more attendance by our other kababayans but I quite understand the situation because they have their own family affairs, jobs (bad economic times) and other activities. Still, for 2-3 hrs of one day only? You are a great Filipino American!

Hi Lib,
Thanks for coming to the event, taking a video and sharing. Could you still change the caption on the 2 girls who sang Gaano Kita Kamahal? They are cousins Gabby Ubaldo (singer) and Joanna Tan (keyboardist). The Acidos got sick and did not make it, but did not know until I got home, when I read my email. Also, Daniel Biss is not only a representative for Skokie, but he covers the whole district 17, which covers Skokie, Evanston, Morton Grove, Glenview, Wilmette & Winnetka.
I'd like to forward the corrected version, if at all possible.
Thanks again.
Jelly

Happy Filipino American History Month! I'm sharing the Skokie celebration. The video is not so great, masyadong madilim sa auditorium. How ironic! The traditional patriotic song "Bayan Ko" was a Filipino protest song against American colonialism of the Philippines! Enjoy the singing anyway.

In 2009, both Houses of Congress passed HR 780 recognizing October 2011 and every October thereafter as Filipino American History Month (FAHM) - to celebrate the history and culture of Filipino Americans. Also to celebrate the 150th birthday anniversary of Dr. Jose Rizal, National Hero of the Philippines. It was attended by DCG Castro of Philippine Consulate, Chicago, Phil-Asst. Secretary of Education Tonisito Umali, Dr. Ramon Lopez (descendant of Dr. Rizal), members of Knights of Rizal, Skokie Mayor George Van Dusen and Rep. Biss. Thank you to Jelly Carandang, Lead Coordinator of the event. Mabuhay po tayong lahat!
