Filipinos in the East Bay, Filipino migrants, Filipino diaspora

Children of the diaspora they are: This historical photo is part of the recently released book Filipinos in the East Bay.

A new historical book by Arcadia Publishing documents the migration of Filipinos toward California’s East Bay beginning in the twentieth century.

With never-before-seen historical photographs from public and private collections, the book Images of America, Filipinos in the East Bay by Evangeline Canonizado Buell, Evelyn Luluquisen, Lillian, Galedo, Eleanor Hipol Luis, and the Filipino American National Historical Society East Bay Chapter chronicles the lives of early Filipino immigrants from their arrival to the United States through the present.

Printed by local and regional history publisher Arcadia Publishing, Filipinos in the East Bay weaves the stories of hardships, achievements, growth, culture, and activitism of the Filipino-American community in the East Bay–something the authors hope future Filipino-American generations will take pride in.

Filipinos in the East Bay, 128 pages, softcover, is now available at area bookstores, independent and online retailers, and through its publisher, Arcadia Publishing, at (888) 313 2665. Price is $19.99.

We sooo love Lea Salonga, and we’re happy to hear this world-class singer and actress is the new face for ICanServe, an advocacy group that empowers women with breast cancer.

This July, Lea will be appearing in ICanServe’s English-edition video, “Take Your Breast Care to Heart,” on breast cancer detection techniques. A Filipino version, “Ating Dibdibin,” will be presented by multiawarded actress Dawn Zulueta.

Directed by Jeannette Ifurung, with cinematography by Lee Meily and production design by Leo Abaya, the video presents a step-by-step process on how to do the breast self-exam and offers tips on breast care.

The video will be distributed free to public hospitals and barangays and will be sold on the ICanServe site and in local bookstores.

Find out more about ICanServe and how you can help. Visit this site.

Lea appears in the June 2008 cover of Town and Country.

Stages’ major musical offering this 2008, West Side Story, brings together a strong cast of world-class talent that includes Christian Bautista, Karylle, and London West End’s Joanna Ampil.
