Happy Anniversary, Tita Nene & Tito Jun – July 6, 1990 💐🇵🇭🇺🇸 Posted on July 6, 2025 📸 July 6, 1990 – Pasadena, CA. Celebrating the wedding of Grace Perseveranda & Castor “Jun” Silvestre. Today we celebrate the 35th wedding anniversary of Grace Perseveranda and the late Castor “Jun” Silvestre — married on July 6, 1990 in the beautiful city of Pasadena, California. 💍🌴 It was a classic SoCal summer day when two beautiful families came together. My girlfriend at the time, Liza Franco, even flew in from Chicago to attend. I had just returned to California after living in the Windy City, and this wedding was one of the first family celebrations I was part of back in LA. In this special photo are: Vincent Putong (my future brother-in-law), my sister Joy, our dad Ronnie, mom Nati, BFF Liza, and me. We stood proudly by the window, soaking in both the sunlight and the joy of the day. Tita Nene, we remember your special day. And to Tito Jun —...

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...

Protesters rallied in Los Angeles against Iran's government on Monday, holding Iranian, U.S. and Israeli flags and signs supporting President Donald Trump. Some wore hats saying 'Make Iran Great Again,' a phrase that Trump used on social media while raising the possibility of regime change in Iran.

Flashback to Disneyland 2015 2015 June 15. Anaheim, CA. Taken at Disneyland's Autopia . Tess had to stay back due to work. So it was just the kids and I who went to SoCal for summer vacation. Reppin' the Bay Area with Jian wearing his Stephen Curry t-shirt and me wearing my favorite SF Giants Tim Lincecum t-shirt as the Golden State Warriors had just beaten the Cavaliers the day before to take a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals. The Dubs would win the championship the next day.   Jian, Chesca, Nica & J.F. Autopia is the only existing Tomorrowland attraction dating back to Disneyland Park’s opening day in 1955.

Millions of people are set to rally across the nation in opposition to President Donald Trump’s extreme agenda and to counterprogram the military parade in Washington, D.C.

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.

LA.pinoybuilt.com April 21, 2025 at 05:18AM The first pontiff from Latin America, Francis helped galvanize the Roman Catholic Church with his warm, empathetic, humble, no-nonsense manner. Francis was beloved by many for his public displays of compassion, commitment to social justice and willingness to shake up the scandal-ridden Vatican. He largely hewed to the church’s conservative line on social issues such as abortion and LGBTQ+ rights but urged clerics not to be “obsessed with” those issues. His emphasis on God’s love and his demand that the church go out and minister to oppressed and needy people impressed even those who disagreed with him.
