culture, your own filipino background into that mix.uby: so, a lot of my musical influences growing up included, you know, the wu tang clan, 'cause i grew up in the 90s, and i listened to a lot of lauryn hill, of course. i think her album, "the miseducation of lauryn hill," was the definitive album for me. it really spoke to me a lot, and i think that's what i try to reflect in my recent project that i released late last year. it was just to do a lot of storytelling in my music, and just to be completely honest with my story and who i am and where i come from. robert: yeah, in fact, we're seeing a video of yours now, and then you also made a documentary about this? earlier this year, we decided to capture behind the scenes of it, just because we thought that we were part of something so monumental. we were able to gather nearly 200 filipino women on the day of the shoot, and it was just a very impactful and very empowering moment and day for us when we were filming the video. and so, we decided to create a documentary based on the foota

now, i'm taking the most exciting filipino appetizer and sharing it with other filipinos. >> it can happen in the san francisco mint, it can happen in a park, it can happen in a street park, it can happen in a tech campus. it's basically where we bring the hardware, the culture, the operating system. >> so right now, i'm eating something that brings me back to every filipino party from my childhood. it's really cool to be part of the community and reconnect with the neighborhood. >> one of our largest challenges in creating this cultural district when we compare ourselves to chinatown, japantown or little saigon, there's little communities there that act as place makers. when you enter into little philippines, you're like where are the businesses, and that's one of the challenges we're trying to solve. >> undercover love wouldn't be possible without the help of the mayor and all of our community partnerships out there. it costs approximately $60,000 for every event. undiscovered is a great tool for the cultural district to bring awareness by bringing the best parts of our culture which is

filipino education center. i am speaking in support of the formation of the world languages council because it will help expand the districts to multilingual and it also supports our culturally diverse sfusd classrooms. this will promote the overall development of students, not only academic, but social and emotionally, because it addresses that critical piece of identity. so that identity is important so they grow up to be successful students. i can vouch for that because my kids are fortunate to have have a bilingual pathway program and they're now part of the job force. that is an important part of being part of the 21st century workforce. because of that, i wish to expand our reach to other families so we can promote student achievement and parent involvement to have a more successful school district here in california. and lastly, i believe this is a practice that promotes culturally responsibility. thank you. >> good evening, my name is keith. i'm a parent of a filipino education student. i had prepared n

he writes about mexicans and filipinos. he is trying to write about this new vision of the united states, one based on immigrants and workers. he too, like sinclair, is a political leftist and an activist and can be seen despite these can be seen as parallel books. what changes is about the 1930s, in the early 1940s, we have world war ii. in world war ii, agribusiness all of a sudden is having a labor shortage. we begin to have more and more workers in the industry and also men who are going to fight in world war ii and this means large agricultural industry in california are saying, who is going to pick the crops? we are not having as many workers as we are used too. we do not have enough people at the time of the harvest. so they want the u.s. government as well as the mexican government to become involved and to help solve their labor program -- problem. they set up a program called the bracero program. one of the reasons i wanted to spend time on this is because it is essentially the same program written about when she

the figures range from 70000 filipinos killed to as many as 10 times that number. these were filipinos who initially believed americans had come to them in their struggle for liberation from spain. by the time of the final debate over annexation in washington dc much of the opposition had been beaten down. faceless businessmen and editors of ministers had swung behind annexation, people susan names we no longer recognize such as senator albert beveridge of indiana who announced we are a conquering race work in opposition, certain congressman tried to remind annexation this that they were in the grips of war fever. a representative from arkansas said annexations i've got more into their blood. they are about to do a foolish thing. he said american might easily annex hawaii and take other islands as well, but like the republic of rome it would destroy the americans republic in the process. in an extraordinary flight of rhetoric for such a quiet man president mckinley said we need hawaii just as much in a good deal more than we did california its manifest destiny. the

archive newsreel: ferdinand marcos is the only filipino to be twice—elected president.second term of office by more than a year and shows no inclination to step down. in the 19705, the philippines fell into the clutches of a notorious dictator, ferdinand marcos, who declared martial law. the president today exhorted members of the judiciary to expedite action... he muzzled the media, closed down political opposition, and took control of thejudicial process. he and his wife imelda plundered the country's coffers to the tune of $10 billion, and set the benchmark high for corruption. imelda became a byword for greed, exemplified by her vast collection of designer shoes and dresses. eventually, the marcos family fled the country in 1986. now, some critics believe that history is in danger of repeating itself. president duterte came to power promising to root out the country's big social problem, drugs. much of myjob has been reporting on the fallout from this policy. in the last two years, the president's war on drugs has seen at least 4000 suspected drug users and dealers

but i and we hope we learn our lessons from from this mistake and this is a wake up call for every filipino that is doing business in the country. the new broccoli comes with a new set of rules like strict arrival limits authorities hope fewer people will keep it sustainable to stop businesses from cutting corners to keep up with demand but some worry a lack of accountability would mean the sacrifice was for nothing. only if those who violated regulations were shut down blacklisted others would be afraid to follow suit but what actually happens is that no one has been arrested for violations no one's been punished no one knows how much was paid in penalties. it's possible barack i could be my dirty again because no one went to jail and. there's strong support for the idea here that the national government had to go to extremes and deprived of its tourism revenue for a while in order to save it that the rescue continues as tourists return represents a new test for the island but by. thinking about starting a business remember the rule location location location just ask russian entrepreneur

[inaudible] >> i recently circulated a petition to people in our neighborhood, and received over 50 supporting significances, and i wanted to just read a couple excerpts from that petition. we are becoming increasingly concerned with the state of the old mint, having watched its steady de-kay over the last decade and up close. the city isn't doing enough to preserve this landmark and it is in need of care. a building as large and as complex as the old mint requires significantly more attention. the current minimal care has left the building filthy, covered in waste graffiti, often used as a space for homeless and infested with rats, all of which are quality of life risks for hundreds of residents in the neighborhood. the only way it will thrive is through continuous use and care which necessitates its restoration and funding. the restoration requires a herculesan effort by the city and all interested parties,

we are fortunate to have chinese , english and filipino speaking representatives at the san francisco public utilities commission that we use for clean power s.f. and across the board with water and wastewater as well. always translating our materials how to read your bill, terms and conditions, not only do we want to do that because it's the best way, but a lot of it is just part of the rules that we have to do anyway. we ran in language print adds and other spanish-language publications within san francisco. we are currently updating our ivr which is when you call a hotline and you have a recorded message there, we are making sure it will be in spanish and cantonese and mandarin and filipino. we are developing in language micro- sites with more extensive web content that we believe will be most helpful for these communities as we continue to educate about that particular program. we want to keep customers engaged that we already have as well as educate new ones as we look ahead to upcoming enrolment and things like that. so over the next few months, we will be focusing on operationa

we work with united players, western soma voice, west bay filipino center, and soma filipinos, and through this process of sharing the design with people, and modifying the design, we identified certain areas where we should modify the design, and one of those is stanley guided designs who has a very specific unique loading and unloading structure for his business. and for that 100-foot section on howard street near eighth street, we will not be implementing a parking protected bike way, but we'll keep that bike way the way it is right now. so in terms of project timeline, we had an open house in the fall where we had about 100 people who were able to view the renderings of the design and provided final input. hopefully, we'll have it approved today, and then, we expect to have this full project implemented on howard street this winter. folsom street, maybe next year at some point, probably in the spring or summer, and that's really because of challenges -- additional challenges with the overhead wiring, and we do recognize that we have to move the overhead wire on folsom, so if we're goin
