Much love from California! It's really interesting seeing how Filipinos are from across the pond. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area there are so many Filipino groups all around but the common denominator was that if you were born and raised in The Bay you were first identified by what city you were from more than your ethnicity. As I went to college that's when I started being singled out as a "Filipino" in a predominantly white school. But rather than feeling lonely in that sense, I just reached out to other Filipino communities in my neighborhood to feel right at home. I guess you can say I got lucky but it really has taught me that community is what really helped me learn to be comfortable in my own skin no matter where I was at. So seeing stuff like this is always endearing because I love seeing more Filipinos from around the world taking initiative into putting themselves out there.
What's good from London, JP! We LOVE hearing your story and getting the hot take on Filipinos over there in California! The experience of growing up surrounded by our own community is something we didn't get to experience, but it's interesting that we all started to have similar feelings of otherness at school/college when we began to notice how much of a minority we were. Being comfortable in our own skin, and having a solid community to back us up, is everything. We appreciate you watching, supporting, and sharing! Kabayan 🇵🇭💛
