  • Summary

  • 4.3 million Filipino-Americans were either born in the US or are reported to be of Filipino ancestry. This podcast features the Filipino diaspora in the United States, tracing their origin stories and accompanying them in their journeys. Their stories will be as diverse as the dialects and sub-cultures of the people from across the 7641 islands that comprise the Philippine archipelago: some will be inspiring; others, pleasant; a few, well… cautionary.
