>> hello happy asian-american pacific islander month. my name is milet and i'm with parangal. we're a dance company out of california. the term parangal means tribute and this means tribute not only to our heritage but the indigenous people of the philippines.

>> hi my name is kim. >> i'm jake dominguez. >> and today we'll be presenting dances from yacan and dance called tamsac. >> we're playing for a tomahi learned from of the aharsa family. >> and the tumachic and the showing movement from the arms, are all learned from the hadas families, salma, thank you. >> salamas. [music]

>> hello i'm jonathan mercado and we're going to be be dancing up next, from the southern part of the philippines. our culture are salmonal with influences of work from papa laqid and mahala family. it's a festival dance done mainly for celebrations like weddings, birthdays, so but the true, the true root is precolonial prehis lamic. it will be one on the phone and one on playing the tambul. and those are traditional used

for sagan in calina.

>> hello again, i'm milet and this next dance you will see is from the taboli people, south cotobato in southern philippines. the dance is tal malatic and it's during the festival called moony moon. the ladies will be performing traditional taboli movement and the men will be performing a warrior dance. >> for many of us growing up in the filipino we developed a hunger not just to learn our culture but our passion. and the great work about our work is we center our work around working with the culture barriers from the indigenous communities that we represent. it's not what we would call authentic, but we do add our artistic elements to our performances with the approval

and trust and guidance of the culture barriers. for me this is important because growing up in america, you start to wonder and develop this thirst to know who you are and to be able to understand this and practice this and, teach the younger communities about our culture, it's more than just a sense of pride, it speaks to the joy that we feel in sharing the fluidity and richness of our philippine culture.

>> para la familia, we want to say happy asian pacific islanders month, and we also want to say maluai! >> so i'm linda i'm part owner and manager of the paper tree in jeopardy an town. >> paper tree opened by my parent in 1968. so we other second oldest business in jap an town. at 55 years this year.

we have beautiful papers from japan, thailand, italy, korea and the biggest selection of orgami. i do it because of my grand father and he wrote to the first english in it in the early 50s. he had an import business to import japanese goods and of course we had our line of paper. to go with the books he produced. it is something i have been doing since i was 5 and i'm happy to say i'm a designer now and of course having paper tree. it is grit. >> during the pandemic i wanted do something to make a statement to help combat the asian hate that was prevalent at that time. and so i put a call out to have a thousand hearts. this is a spin on the tradition

of holding 1,000 cranes when you have a wish. well, a thousand cranes does not make a statement enough why not change it and a call for a thousand hearts? i created a website dedicated to the project. a video and fold heart instructions. people sent them in the first mont was 1,000 hearts. they kept coming in. and the next goal was 7, 698, which was the total number of case of reported hate by the ap i website. those were the reported case of hate. there are more not reported. that became the new goal. we achieved 2 months later. the hearts were coming in it it is a big project, we have it part of our store. anyone can come and fold an easy heart. keeping that part of the japanese tradition of this in that way here in japantown is

pretty special. its great. >> i'm eric tanaka. fourth generation japanese american born and raised in san francisco i work for the san francisco fire department station 10, truck 10 as a firefighter. i think about my journey i think about my family. my grandfather came to san francisco in 1917 we have been here for over 100 years. married my grand mother they were in the japanese camps. prior he was a successful business owner in the city. when he started to start over he was murdered. and i never met my grandfather. my grand mother and my mother were left to raise me, brother

and sister my father was around but work. it was very challenging for me growing up as a young kid in the city. trying to find my identity. and so i got myself in a lot of trouble. trying to defend myself and my heritage. that i was -- raised to be proud of. and there was a time i was ashamed. you know, thinking about and understanding my family's strug and he will had my grand mother and grandfather went through i was ignited a fire to keep moving forward. i decided to dedicate my life to service. servicing my family and community and the city. one of my goal in life is to reach out to our community youth and support them so they mack myself the potential to finds careers they never thought they were capable of. when i want my family tong of me

i want to be proud. whenever career i chos is not about the money it is providing a life that is honorable and thoughtful. so that -- the generations behind us see how hard my family worked make sure we have been able to sustain and thrive in san francisco. community is huge to me. it helped me become the person i am today. and our department. we got one of the busiest stations in the in addition, station 3. we have a surf rescue program program cliff rescue program. we have so many things to be proud of as a department. i can't say this enough, there is honestly no words to say how proud i am to work for the department and serve the community that i grew up in.
