On my previous posting, I wrote about Filipino Americans or Americans with Filipino descent or ancestry. I received a few comments and it reminded me that my 4 children who are second generation Filipino Americans have experiences during their formative years that may be similar/identical.
The
following two videos ( Matt Agustin and Aireen Arellano) reminded me of
my 4 children ( now adults) and their similar experiences or perhaps
some identical experiences discussed in the videos growing up Filipino
and American in the 1970's-1980's here in Northern California. Here are
the 2 videos. Enjoy!
The
above video( Matt Agustin) reminds me of why I immigrated to the US in
1960 and possibly how my children may have similar experiences growing up Filipino and
American here in the US.
One
of the benefits in the video is about growing up with both culture.
Matt Agustin explained it very well. Like me, Agustin parents came to
the US for graduate studies. He grow up with not too many Filipinos around just
like my children. This is a must read for Ditas, Dinah and Dodie. Here's
another video, that I can identify. A must viewed for second generation
Filipino-Americans.
