  • Season 9 Episode 5 Ryan Farinas
    Ryan Farinas (he/him), a second generation Filipino-American who is the only child of Mr and Mrs. Farinas of San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte. Personally, Ryan struggled in embracing his own cultural identity but through learning what his own culture has to offer and give, he was able to learn the language, specifically the culture, superstitious, tradition that we practice and why we do certain things that can seem to be very complex.
    To this day, since the interview Ryan continues to  still learn about his own  Filipino identity and culture. To get a sense of how Filipinos are and which is why we’re separated from other cultures. Filipinos are regarded as such hard working people, having a mindset to work hard and live a good life and provide for their family. Our culture has so much to offer and learn about. The practices we do, the types of food we eat, it’s so interesting learning about it from our parents, our grandparents, our family.

  • Season 8 - Episode 8: J.Lynn Music
    "Growing up, I never felt like I learned much about filipino culture. 
    Nowadays, I am more interested in learning, so I have been understanding it through being in online communities and filipino pop music.
     I also am reading more and more articles on filipino news sites, so I keep up with current events. 
    From what I’ve learned in terms of identity, Filipinos are a really vibrant bunch of people.
     They are friendly, honest, outgoing, and very familial. A lot of filipinos work hard, and 
    I learned that through my family, who work tirelessly to support their household."
