Philippine Blog Awards 2010Fil-ams Celebrate 102 Years of Filipino Migration to US
It was the biggest Fil-Am gathering this year – over 1,200 guests from all over the American national capital region – celebrating 102 years of Filipino migration to the United States. It was held amid a backdrop of continuing challenges for the growing Pinoy community here on the eve of President Arroyo’s third visit to the US.
Every June for the past three years, the Migrant Heritage Commission (MHC) has spearheaded the “People’s Ball” – a commemoration of Filipino migration to the US. This year’s event was held at the Marriott Wardman Hotel in Washington DC.
