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...
A Pacific Palisades homeowner who watched his house burn on his Tesla cameras is now calling for better long-term fire planning amid the devastation in Southern California.
Former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte, who's detained at the Scheveningen prison, faces the International Criminal Court (ICC) for the first time. In this initial appearance, judges will read the charges to him and confirm he is indeed Rodrigo Duterte. The confirmation of charges hearing is another schedule, and only after that can trial begin. The prosecution handpicked a case set of 42 killings in applying for the warrant. This is not uncommon in mass atrocities cases. https://t.co/MKpio7nVkQ — Rappler (@rapplerdotcom) March 14, 2025
I love Voltes V! Chōdenji Mashīn Borutesu Faibu), popularly known as simply Voltes V (pronounced as "Voltez Five") is a Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Company and animated by Nippon Sunrise (now known as Bandai Namco Filmworks and formerly known as Soeisha). It aired on TV Asahi and its affiliates from June 4 1977 to March 25 1978. Voltes V grew into a cultural phenomenon in the Philippines since its airing in the country in 1978. My sister, my Lola and I had joined my parents in Chicago in August 1976. My Lola had returned to the Philippines in November 1977; unfortunately she passed away so young days before her 64th birthday in July 23, 1978. It was the first time for all of us to vacation in the Philippines in 1978. Balikbayan! Voltes V had just started airing in the Philippines then, and watching the show was/is one of my favorites memories from August 1978. My childhood friends and I would play taguan or patintero in the street in the front of o...
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.
