Today is the start of Filipino American History month! People who know me know I am filipino and white! My grandpa is from the Philippines and I am very proud of him. He joined the Navy to come to this country and while in the Navy he met my granny in South Carolina.
Now I did not grow up with Filipino culture my mom did not teach us anything about it. Once I started getting older and honestly people were racist to me I started becoming more interested in where my grandpa was from. I did grow up with filipino food but only a few dishes that I LOVE! Siopao, Chicken adobo and puto are my favs. I do not speak Tagalog yet but I am learning here and there. I am also learning to write in Baybayin which is filipino script which I think is cool. I do wish my mom would have learned Tagalog and more about our culture so I wouldn’t have to learn it as an adult and try to figure out our history. But I am learning and hopefully meet other filipinos along the way!
