Filipino-Americans talk about being Filipino.
What makes a Filipino? Is it where we were born? The food we eat? The way we speak? Or what's in our hearts?
No crisis of identity here. Filipino is as Filipino feels. The Philippines, perhaps more than any other Southeast Asian country, has always been about diversity. Even more, as our people scatter all over the world. Our community is a quintessential melting pot of cultures, beliefs, and idiosyncrasies. We are not one boring blanket of color. We are a rich and vibrant tapestry. We were born to be different. So let’s be.
Meet some young and proud Filipinos from LA who are challenging the standards of what it’s like to be a true Pinoy.
