CAMP ROXAS FILM PROJECT Camp Roxas, Agat, Guam (1946—1972) CAMP ROXAS FILM PROJECT Camp Roxas, Agat, Guam (1946—1972) Bernie Provido Schumann, Producer Burt Sardoma Jr., Director Alex Munoz, Producer Josephine Garrido, Associate Producer Norman Analista, Special Projects 177 B Mall Street, A401, Tamuning, GU 96913 (671) 649-8412 Website: www.camproxas.com Email: [email protected] PROJECT BIOGRAPHY An independently produced 60-minute documentary film, Under the American Sun (Camp Roxas Film Project), will trace the epic post-World War II migration of Filipinos laborers to Guam. The U.S. military recruited skilled laborers and professionals to help rebuild an island devastated by war, resulting in the initial 1946 influx of Filipinos to Guam. The recruitment process lasted for two decades, resulting in a migration of over 10,000 Filipino men and women to Guam. Under the American Sun (Camp Roxas Film Project) tells the story of Filipino immigrants to Guam, the Ilonggos from Iloilo Province, who arrived in 1946 at Camp Roxas in Agat, Guam, after World War II as part of the military reconstruction effort. Their arrival and settlement laid the foundation for four generations of Ilonggos to become Filipino-Americans and part of the Guam community. The year 2006 marked the 60th anniversary of these first Filipino immigrants to arrive in Guam. Marked by struggle, perseverance, hard work, adaptation and ultimately success, theirs is a true immigrant story. This project will entail collecting oral histories and archival research of their journey from the Philippines. One of the largest ethnic minorities on Guam, the Filipino community has a long and complex history on the island that began during the Spanish colonial period in the 1600s. In recent times, the history of Filipinos in Guam is associated with the Ilonggo influx. The postwar recruitment of Ilonggo labor lasted for two decades, resulting in a migration of more than 10,000 Filipino men and women to Guam. Because of a succession of colonial and strategic occupations, Guam was, in 1946, already a diverse and thriving community. But the Ilonggo community flourished in unexpected ways, creating a successful social network in the local community, and contributing to the political, economic, and social life of the island territory. Not surprisingly, the population of the largely Catholic Ilonggos boomed. Today, the Flipino American community makes up approximately 30 percent of the island's population - about 45,000 people. The Ilonggo experience is a true immigrant experience marked by struggle, perseverance, hard work, adaptation and economic cultural success. As is the case in most migrations, the Ilonggo men were the first to arrive. They came primarily as skilled laborers and professionals - accountants, carpenters, masons, plumbers, electricians and engineers. This diverse workforce was tasked with the rebuilding of the U.S. military facilities and infrastructure. In the ensuing years, Ilonggo women, many of whom were trained as nurses and other professional and semiprofessional positions, were hired to work in Guam. They began to join to men of Camp Roxas after 1946. The passage of the Organic Act in 1950 and the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, often referred to as the McCarran Act, enabled many of the workers to become permanent residents by working on Guam before December 1952, and to later apply for US. citizenship. Under the American Sun will be told principally through the reminiscences of a "veteran" of the Ilonggo migration, Loreto Parenas Provido, and his wife, Bernadita Confesor Juadiong. Mr. Provido is the father of Producer Bernadette Provido-Schumann. Because of his advanced age and infirmity, Ms. Provido-Schumann felt it imperative to record his moving oral history. In the process of preparing for the film project, Ms. Provido-Schumann is discovering much about the family she had not previously known, and, just as important, is discovering her own attitudes about the migration. Shame, disdain and grief are typical "second generation" feelings about the Camp Roxas experience. Ms. Provido-Schumann will examine her own belief system in Under the American Sun, a process that will be likely be enlightening to all westernized children of native-born Asian-Pacific and Pacific Island people. Other oral histories from the initial immigrants, many of whom are now in their eighties, as well as their descendents, will supplement Mr. Provido's account. Under the American Sun will also be told through extensive archival content documenting the Ilonggo journey from the Philippines to Guam. Under the American Sun will provide vivid visual representations of place - Iloilo Province from which the Ilonggo people were recruited, and Camp Roxas, Guam - to give viewers a sense of what the Ilonggos left behind, and what they faced as they entered the war-ravaged U.S. Territory. The film’s outreach and marketing effort will target audiences throughout the Pacific Islander, Asian Pacific, and West Coast communities, and will also be directed toward film festivals and other exhibition opportunities throughout the United States and Europe. Naturally, the Filipino and non-Filipino communities in Guam will be the film's most significant target audiences, edifying and inspiring future generations. PRODUCER Bernadette Provido Schumann, producer, is a professional public health advocate who utilizes the creative power of film to showcase the uniqueness of Guam and Pacific Islander communities. The daughter of Ilonggo migrant workers, Schumann began her career in public service with the Guam Department of Public Health and Social Services. Her professional experience includes collaboration with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, Office of Minority Health, the Secretariat of the Pacific Community and the World Health Organization. She co-produced Prutehi Hao (Protect Yourself), an HIV prevention youth video, and Matto Saina-Ta As Hurao (The Return of the Elder), a short film about an ancient Chamorro chief. She also served as the site location coordinator for the documentary, Out In Silence, a fear of disclosure project. Schumann is the co-founder for the Rotary Club of Guam Sunrise Films For Youth, a program which engages at-risk youth in the film making process. She also is a member of the Rotary Club of Guam Sunrise and board member for the Pay-Less Supermarkets Community Foundation. Schumann earned a bachelor's degree in nursing from St. Louis University, St. Louis, Mo., and a master's degree in public administration from the University of Guam. She is also an avid runner competing in short- to long-distance events. DIRECTOR Burt Sardoma, Jr., a Camp Roxas descendant, started his career in television production more than ten years ago. Over the course of this time, Burt gained invaluable experience as an editor, cameraman and lighting technician while working on numerous projects on Guam. Other experience included work as a grip and production assistant for Fast Forward Productions for Discovery Channel, 1998 on Storm Warning, a recreation of Typhoon Paka devastating the island. Seven years ago, Burt teamed up with other talented videographers and started his own production company, Videoworks. In the four years since their opening, Burt has landed projects involving large local companies including the Bank of Guam, DFS, Louis Vuitton, Citibank, Guam Humanities Council Guampedia.com website and a public service announcement on Drunk Driving funded by the Office of Highway Safety. Video Works recently expanded its marketing capacity and added years of valuable and proven service in research and public relations work for the Government of Guam as well as the launch of numerous products for private sector companies throughout Guam and the CNMI. He has gained exceptional experience working as the cameraman with Los Angeles-based Director Alex Munoz and the island's youth on a film production team. With Director Alex Munoz in conjunction with the island's youth he worked on three short films which included Prutehi Hao (Protect Yourself), an HIV/AIDS 15 minute video, Chief Hurao, a :60 second film spot, and recently, Who Took My Kelaguen? In addition, he served as a Video and Editing instructor for Guam Community College. He attended the Independent Producer's Academy Beginning and Advanced Workshops sponsored by Pacific Islanders in Workshops sponsored by Pacific Islanders in Communications. He is the son of Felixberto "Burt" Sardoma Sr., former Camp Roxas resident. PRODUCER Award-winning Chamorro filmmaker Alex Muñoz supervises the Films by Youth Inside program. A native of San Jose, Calif., Muñoz received his MFA from the Graduate School of Cinema and Television at the University of Southern California. He began directing television commercials while still a student.

  • A Growing Diversity
    A Growing Diversity 1993–2017 In late April 1975, eight-year-old Anh (Joseph) Cao’s long and improbable odyssey to the halls of Congress began as North Vietnamese communists seized the southern capital city of Saigon.1 The trajectory of the soft-spoken, bookish Cao toward Capitol Hill stands out as one of the most remarkable in the modern era, even as it neatly encapsulated post-1965 Asian immigration patterns to the United States. Still, the origins of Cao’s story were commonplace. For three decades, conflict and civil war enveloped his country. After the Vietnamese threw off the yoke of French colonialism following World War II, a doomed peace accord in 1954 removed the French military and partitioned Vietnam. The new government in South Vietnam aligned with Western world powers, while North Vietnam allied with communist states. Amid the Cold War, the U.S. backed successive Saigon regimes against communist insurgents before directly intervening in 1965. A massive ground and air war dragged on inconclusively for nearly a decade. More than 58,000 American troops were killed, and more than three million South and North Vietnamese perished.2 Public opposition in the United States eventually forced an end to the intervention. America’s decision to withdraw from Vietnam shattered Joseph Cao’s family just as it did many thousands of others as communist forces soon swamped the ineffectual government and military in the South. In 2011 Japanese-American veterans received the Congressional Gold Medal for their valor during World War II. The medal included the motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, “Go for Broke.” Nisei Soldiers of World War II Congressional Gold Medal Obverse © 2011 United States Mint 42940_08-APA-CE3.indd 436 2/13/2018 12:04:16 PM 42940_08-APA-CE3.indd 437 2/13/2018 12:04:17 PM Just days before Saigon fell, Cao’s mother, Khang Thi Tran, spirited one of her daughters and two sons, including Anh, to a U.S.

Message from the Commissioners In early May of this year, the Overseas Basing Commission released its interim report on the overseas basing posture of the United States. As a starting point, the Commission considered the evolving DOD plan for overseas bases called the Integrated Global Presence and Basing Strategy (IGPBS). The interim report was presented to the President and Congress, was covered in the national and international media, and was discussed with officials of the Department of Defense, and other agencies of government. It was also the basis of Commission testimony before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs and the Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC). The Commission has benefited from the feedback received from all of these opportunities and has continued to gather data, meet with relevant officials involved with overseas and domestic basing and their related elements, and continued with both its investigation and analyses in line with the missions laid out in statute creating and charging the Commission with its duties.
