Fermin,
nasa magulang talaga yan eh.. Kagaya naming mag asawa talagang sa bahay namin tagalog namin kausapin ang anak namin, lalo na pag uwi namin sa Pilipinas. Take Brandon Vera of UFC Mix Martial Arts. half pinoy/ italian.. pero nung napanood ko sa Adobo Nation eh fluent magtalog (talopa nya yung mga HOst ng SHow, na mas mukhang PINOY pa sa kanya)
Anak ko dito na sa sydney pinanganak and ang I’m proud to say na fluent talaga sya sa salitang tagalog, pati nga english nya sa bahay pinoy accent pa eh :)

Auggie,
Tama ka, I’ve been there and nobody even looks at the exhibit.
Hahahahaha. Hindi ba SPAM yun, ang dami kasi. Saan mo ba nahahanap yung mga artist at singers na yun. I was trying to find one for Eva Cassidy (favorite ko) to become a fan of, and I couldn’t find one.
Fermin,
Sana nga makarating dito sa L.A. Magandang ideya ang traveling show.

Gerry,

Even if both parents were immigrants from RP, their children will eventually have English as their 1st language — because of the culture that at really young age children tend to spend less and less time with their parents. Until later, much later, these Fil-Ams (that really have 100% Pinoy blood) may, hopefully, (re)discover their Philippine roots, and may even visit RP to satisfy their curiousity and be amazed with the culture that they’ve missed.

In one episode of “NO RESERVATION” by Anthony Bourdain there’s this one US-born guy with pure Filipino blood who toured the Philippines by accident and for unexplainable reason found so much attachment that he started promoting the Philippines as a tourist destination, and thus to Anthony Bourdain of that travel show. But he does not speak any Philippine language. Imagine a Pinoy-looking guy who will ask anyone in a Philippine street in English?

Rod,

Tama ang observations mo pagdating sa EXHIBITS. Dapat talaga, they should be stopped on their tracks at ma-grab ang attention. Puro pa naman bureacrats ang nandoon na walang kahilig-hilig sa Arts.

Spam ? yun bang tungkol sa mga artists, rock stars, jazz artists, movie directors, sine ? hindi yun spam, ako talaga yun….

I don’t know exactly what goes in the exhibit, but I can guess there will be a few originals, and a lot more blown up covers and other artwork. I think they will move the exhibit to Hawaii after this.

Sa totoo lang Fermin, from what I learn from doing my You Tube videos (which seem to have a lot of Fil-Am viewers) is that a lot of young Filipino-Americans are hungry to learn Tagalog, and some of them are kind of frustrated that it was never spoken in their home.

“It’s about time na bigyan ng INTERNATIONAL EXPOSURE si Mr. Coching, para malaman ng buong mundo kung sino talaga ang deserving na NATIONAL ARTIST.”

Sana makarating din sa Chicago although kumpara sa California, Hawaii, Nevada, at/o New York ay mas kakaunti ang Pinoy sa Illinois. Pero who knows?

More than a month ago ay nagsimula ang column ko sa weekly FIL-AM MEGASCENE na ang editorial office ay sa Chicago, pero circulated throughout the US. Ang pamagat ay “ESTADO” – nag-iisang column na Tagalog/Filipino sa diyaryo na English ang medium. Pero pinanindigan ko, sabi ko: paano magiging Fil-Am kung walang Tagalog/Filipino?

At least, magiging addition ang column ko sa pagpo-promote ng mga kultura (at wikang) Pinoy kasama na ang komiks ng mga Pinoy. Magandang maging artikulo ito.
