-
Image
I’m a 1.5 generation Filipino immigrant — I left the Philippines at 9 years old and grew up in the United States. Like many others who moved young, I still find myself learning more about the history and cultural richness of our homeland. One of the most fascinating and often overlooked aspects of the Philippines is just how diverse it truly is. The Philippines is home to over 175 ethnolinguistic groups , each with its own language, culture, and history. Below is a more detailed look at the major groups, including where they live and approximate population sizes. Luzon Tagalog (~28–30 million) – Central & Southern Luzon, Metro Manila, Mindoro Ilocano (~9–10 million) – Northern Luzon, Ilocos, Cordillera, migrants in Mindanao Kapampangan (~2.9 million) – Pampanga, Tarlac, parts of Bulacan, Bataan Pangasinan (~1.5–1.8 million) – Pangasinan Province Bicolano (Central Bikol) (~4–5 million) – Bicol Region Ibanag (~500,000) – Cagayan Valley Ivatan (~30,0...

Who OWNS Asia’s Most Sacred Blade? The Filipino vs. Indonesian Keris WAR

-
Image
LA.pinoybuilt.com April 19, 2025 at 08:39AM Across Southeast Asia, the Kris—sometimes called the Keris—is more than a weapon. It’s sacred, symbolic, and deeply tied to national identity. But here’s the thing: both Indonesia and the Philippines claim it. So we set out to see for ourselves. We forged two Kris blades in the heartlands where the tradition still lives—one in Java, one in Mindanao—and uncovered the contrasts in craftsmanship, meaning, and cultural pride. This is a story about history, survival, and who still bleeds for the blade. To order a Keris blade, message Mpu (Master) Sanamo directly on WhatsApp: +62 817-0370-9427 Join the Fil-Am conversation.

Alexandra Eala beat Iga Swiatek in Miami Open Quarterfinals

-
Image
Eala advances to semifinals. Congratulations Alex Eala! Just WOW. As a Filipino born in the Philippines, I'm just beaming with so much Pinoy pride right now. As an ex-high school tennis player, I so appreciate today's great upset/win. Iga Swiatek is a 5-time grand slam champion. But to have beat your last two opponents who were also grand slam champions, that makes three grand slam champions that you beat to get to the semifinals. I was going to watch the recorded match at my sister's house tonight. Vince said he'd record it. But I ended up subscribing to the Tennis Channel for one month. I had to watch Alex Eala LIVE to take on the WTA #2 (Swiatek was previously the #1 player in the world). Alex Eala is currently ranked #140 in the WTA (Women's Tennis Association). For sure, she'll be in the Top 100 after this Miami Open. Alexandra Eala vs. Iga Swiatek | 2025 Quarterfinal Miami | WTA Match Highlights
