shows how in touch I am with my heritage…..not really…I suppose….from what I understand, some historical society folks got together and drafted a resolution on the whole business…..
i got this little tidbit off of this fil-am history month site.
Fact for October 10
Did you know that at George Washington University, something is named after a great Filipino-American? That’s right, last year the Gelman Library named the circulation desk (1st floor) after our very own advisor, Jonathan Melegrito, for his 25 years of service to GW and the Gelman Library. It is officially known as “The Jonathan Melegrito Circulation Desk.”
and here’s a nice pinoy film with a bayarea tie-in:
Silencio – 1996: “This short film takes place in San Francisco, 1951, focusing on the experience of a young Filipino American trying to adjust to his predominantly Caucasian workplace.”
um…yeah. i guess i’ll eat more rice this month…or something…..
