October - Filipino American History Month in Skokie

A resolution to nationally recognize Filipino American History Month, also known as Filipino American Heritage Month, was introduced in the United States 103rd Congress.  The House of the 111th Congress introduced a House Resolution 155 (H. RES. 155) to officially recognize the month of October for Filipinos.  In October 2009, the Senate of 111th Congress passed a resolution recognizing FAHM.  In November 2009, Congress passed resolution (H. RES. 780) officially recognizing October as Filipino American History Month.  Mabuhay!
