FILIPINOS IN HAWAII
Filipinos n lagi daw ron ang largest racial group sa Hawaii, surpassing the Japanese. They also have Filcom or Filipino Community Center in Waipahu. (There's Seafood City there too). In fact, si former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo was there in 2005 in order to unveil the statue for 100 years of Filipino presence in the Aloha State. Then 2 Filipino chefs n pud ang famous - Grant Lanai Tabura and Sheldon Simeon. Then the new migrants from Vietnam, Indonesia and Philippines are now the ones occupying the food court in Chinatown daw. I saw a video of Mark Wiens gud ordering then eating his order at a carenderia in Mauna Kea Foodcourt in Honolulu's Chinatown. Pinakbet, dinuguan ug sinigang mn to iyang order. Then si Brigette Namata pud of KHON 2 News is of Filipino descent. Morag Bisaya iyang mama. Half-Pinay pud si Lyla Berg. I'm sure with Pinoy blood pud nas Mikee Monis. Even Bretman Rock is originally from Philippines. I saw him in a video gud when he said, I am a Filipino who happens to be in Hawaii. Heheh. Jia you to us all! :)
