-
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...

Happy National Leon Day!

-
Image
National Leon Day is celebrated every June 25th , and it marks exactly six months until Christmas Day . The name “Leon” is simply “Noel” spelled backward , and “Noel” is a French word meaning “Christmas.” 🎅 Is It a Real Holiday? Leon Day is not a government holiday , but it's widely recognized online and in certain niche communities. Think of it like “Star Wars Day” (May the 4th)—fun, unofficial, but real to fans. Lots of Filipinos mark September 1 as the start of the Christmas season at the start of the "ber" months. I guess there are some who start earlier on June 25! 🔔 Common Leon Day Activities Start working on handmade Christmas gifts Plan or preview holiday decor Begin holiday budgeting or shopping Run "Christmas in July" teaser sales or announcements Join us & help build this Los Angeles Filipino-American community.

Alexandra Eala beat Iga Swiatek in Miami Open Quarterfinals

-

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
