back in 1975, my father who was a physician immigrant physician, both my parents purchased the delta hotel located at the corner of sixth and mission street. and it was his vision that back then to create a filipino community center, and fast forward to 19 -- 200 -- 1999, my father had created the filipino american foundation, as a foundation to support communities in the south of market. what's really important about this legislation as it is historic is it actually values community. when we were trying to establish the byaen community center back in 1999, we saw the important of valuing communities, and this legislation provides an opportunity to not only value communities but provides that opportunity as a tool to help generations to pass the baton, like a relay race, as my father had this dream to create this filipino district, to create a filipino center, and to create eventually a district that the history and the knowledge of that community passes onto the next generation through this legislation. thank you. >> supervisor safai: thank you. next speaker. >> talk about history of neighborhood
