Beginnings of FIlipino Diaspora
The
first recorded Filipino migration was the result of an
unexpected turn of events that happened to a voyage to
China. The mission consisted of royalties from Sulu who

OFW’s Unsung Hero
The
Overseas Filipino Worker is hailed as today’s hero. But, as
early as the 1960s, a Filipino in California was already
fighting for the rights of farmworkers and thus, deserves a
rightful place in history. |
