Planning to Retire Soon!

If you are planning to retire in the Philippines soon, I suggest you visit several excellent websites on pro's and cons of retiring in the Philippines. However if you want to retire in the provinces, where life is simple, standard of living cheaper, less traffic congestion and pollution, availability of fresh seafood and vegetables compared to the big cities, my island province is the place for you! If this is your first time in my site, welcome. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights.

Growing Up Filipino and American in the United States


The 4 D's- Dodie, Dinah, David E(RIP) and Ditas growing up as Filipino and American

On my previous posting, I wrote about Filipino Americans or Americans with Filipino descent or ancestry. I received a few comments and it reminded me that my 4 children who are second generation Filipino Americans have experiences during their formative years that may be similar/identical.

The following two videos ( Matt Agustin and Aireen Arellano) reminded me of my 4 children ( now adults) and their similar experiences or perhaps some identical experiences discussed in the videos growing up Filipino and American in the 1970's-1980's here in Northern California. Here are the 2 videos. Enjoy!    


The above video( Matt Agustin) reminds me of why I immigrated to the US in 1960 and possibly how my children may have similar experiences growing up Filipino and American here in the US.

One of the benefits in the video is about growing up with both culture. Matt Agustin explained it very well. Like me, Agustin parents came to the US for graduate studies. He grow up with not too many Filipinos around just like my children. This is a must read for Ditas, Dinah and Dodie. Here's another video, that I can identify. A must viewed for second generation Filipino-Americans.
