Listen Later

For our first series, we will be focusing on Asians in The Political Field as the general election on November 23rd, 2020, nears in the United States. For this series we will be interviewing different Asians in The Political Field to empower the Asian community to get more involved with politics as well as vote in not just this year's general election but all elections in the future as well.


In the second episode of Asians in the Political Field, AITS hosts Lisa Wong and Kaitlyn Cui are joined by Joey Manahan, a Filipino American, politician, and member of the Honolulu City Council. He is also a member of the Hawaii Filipino Junior Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Filipino American Associations. Listen in as we learn about Mr. Manahan's childhood as he immigrated to America, and how he discovered what it means to be American and Filipino. We also discuss his career failures and successes that have led him to be the person he is today.  Mr. Manahan has greatly helped his community through partaking in projects and through his roles in the state.


Asians in the Spotlight is honored to be the first podcast to interview Mr. Manahan and we hope that our listeners will enjoy this episode as well. Thank you for all your support, and to the AITS team for making this episode possible.
