GLIMPSES By Jose Ma. Montelibano I am in the middle of a late night drive from Santa Clara to Long Beach, from Northern to Southern California, a full six hours without stopping. There are two young Fil-Ams traveling with me to meet with fellow advocates and volunteers in a common cause in the Bay Area. The last meeting was with Fil-Am students from Santa Clara Read More …
GLIMPSES By Jose Ma. Montelibano I am preparing to go on my first mission abroad for 2013.

PerryScope By Perry Diaz Once again, the Filipino-American vote did not show on the radar screen during the recent presidential election. Yes, unlike in past presidential elections, the Fil-Am vote was virtually invisible this year. There were no organized national efforts from the Fil-Am Democrats and Republicans. And if there were, I didn’t see them. In a survey conducted by the National Asian American Survey Read More …
By Paul F. dela Cruz Balita (Toronto, Canada) It is usual for Filipinos to jump with glee whenever someone Filipino, even with just a tiny drop of brown blood running in his veins, achieves a feat. In the recent elections in the US of A, news reports say thirteen Filipino-Americans won the seats they vied for, some in the national level others in their own Read More …
Editorial PinoyWatchDog.com President Obama’s reelection was based on a coalition of Latino and Asian Americans joining with blacks, women and young people is an important turning of the political page for Filipino Americans. The mainstream media is calling it the “New American Majority.” So fellow Filipinos, no longer feel that you are a helpless minority in a foreign land. The politicians and media consider us Read More …
By DANNY MANALO and BARBARA MARCHADESCH GMA NEWS (UPDATED 5:30 p.m.) – The win-loss record of Filipino-American candidates during Wednesday’s (Philippine time) US elections was spotty, with 21 candidates for major political positions winning their runs.
