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...
Flashback to Summer 1985 This was summer before my freshman year at UC Davis. It should be September because I was supposed to be moving into the dorms. But Tita Myrna lost an expensive bracelet in our house and I found it under the sofa mattress in the den. Tita Myrna asked me to fly down, with both Liza and Frances having offered to pay for my flight. How can I refuse that?! LOL Tita Myrna was my mom's coworker in Illinois Masonic Hospital, and our neighbor in the 20-story Barr Tower. She lived on the 2nd floor, while we lived initially on the 8th floor and moved to a 2-bedroom apartment on the 12th floor. Frances had been my classmate in 6th grade in St. Sebastian in Chicago. But Liza and I both remember that Tita Myrna had taken us to something with our siblings, maybe a movie when we were younger. I have always admired Sophia Loren, so we took a photo with her.

June is recognized as Immigrant Heritage Month in the United States, a time to celebrate the contributions and diverse backgrounds of immigrants. This month-long observance, established in 2014, aims to foster understanding and appreciation for the immigrant experience and the positive impact immigrants have on American society. It's a chance to acknowledge the rich tapestry of cultures and stories that immigrants bring to the nation. More than half of Los Angeles is comprised of immigrants, which is why the city found it fitting to honor them in a special way. Steve Angeles tells us how the City of Angels has dedicated the month of June for its foreign-born residents. While the Trump Administration attacks immigrant families, we fight for the dignity they deserve and the shared prosperity they create. This Immigrant Heritage Month, we celebrate those who boldly choose and strengthen the California Dream. - Gavin Newsom While the Trump Administration attacks immigrant fa...
