- Season 6 Episode 9 - Jefferson Peralta
Grit, Resilient, and empathetic, Jeff was a second generation Filipino immigrant born and raised in Ewa Beach, HI. Now in Portland, OR seeking undergrad in Marketing at the University of Portland. I didn’t really think about my Filipino identity in high school until I started going to college. Transferring from the island to the mainland I had a sort of being home sick and cultural shock of the new environment around me. From the new changes within me as a person I didn’t feel like my true self. He didn’t start understanding my Filipino identity until I joined FASA (Filipino American Student Alliance) which allowed me to go back to my filipino roots and learn more about my identity in the Philippines. Now, I am the Marketing Manager for FASA SA UP. On the side, I really love exploring new places with my friends, going to the beach and making tik toks.
You can follow Jeff on instagram @jefferyyy_ and also @fasasaup to join along his adventures!

51 min - Season 6 Episode 8 - Jordan AbantoLoud , observant and intelligent -- Graduate Student at the College of Education, Master’s in Educational Administration Being 3rd generation and my parents both being born and raised in Hawai‘i, a lot of the values were more from a westernized/local perspective. I think the main Filipino value was the importance of family and community, being surrounded by my extended family at all times (but I can also see that as a Asian/Hawai‘i commonality). I knew there was always someone older than our generation to take care of us if my parents were busy. Since Filipinos are one of the top populations in Hawai‘i, there was no sense of worry of me being Filipino as seeing people that looked like me was a norm. I do have to note that most of my K -12 experience was in the Radford Complex (so the Salt Lake area), where the students are a mix of military-dependent families, Hawai‘i-born kids, and immigrant children. Even more so, there was no attention to talking about being Filipino or what my ethnic background was because claiming our identities was where we were borned: Was I born on the continent? Was I born in another country? Or was I born in Hawai‘i?Follow Jordan on his instagram at @jordan_abanto.About:What is Kasamahan Co. a platform that not only amplifies the voices of Filipinos in Hawai’i but seeks to serve a purpose in creating stories that empowers the next generation to bring out their creative expression and side to them.
