  • Homily: Simbang Gabi
    Homily – Simbang Gabi Massi The Most Rev. José H. Gomez Archbishop of Los Angeles Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels Los Angeles, California December 15, 2011 My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I am honored to celebrate this Holy Mass with you, to begin these nine days of Simbang Gabi, as we get ready for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ on Christmas Day. This is a special day for all of us in the Church in Los Angeles, because we are celebrating the rich Catholic faith of our Filipino people, and your deep roots here in our Archdiocese and in our country, which date back to the first evangelization of America, when the first Filipinos arrived here at Morro Bay in 1587. My brothers and sisters, as you all know, your ancestors were here — worshipping, working, evangelizing, serving the needy, and building our country — almost 200 years before America’s founding fathers. We can never forget this, my brothers and sisters! Always be proud of your roots. Proud of where you come from. Proud of your Filipino history and heritage, your culture and customs. Your culture is a rich treasure and a beautiful part of who you are, a beautiful part of your Catholic identity, which you are called to live and to proclaim as a light in our society. This novena of Simbang Gabi, and all of your traditions of piety and devotion, reminds us that the seeds of the Gospel have been sown in every culture, and have produced fruits of holiness and love.

  • Université De Montréal the Emergence of Global Agri-Food
    Université de Montréal The Emergence of Global Agri-Food Corporations in Southeast Asia Capitalism: A Comparative Analysis of Two Companies in Thailand and in the Philippines by Sonia li Trottier 1019944 Faculty of Arts and Science Essay presented as a partial requirement of Individualized Master in Environment and Sustainable Development April 2018 © Sonia li Trottier, 2018 Résumé Cet essai de maîtrise explore les différentes stratégies utilisées par les conglomérats agro- alimentaires en Asie du Sud-Est pour se développer dans la région et au niveau mondial. Ce sujet est particulièrement pertinent étant donné l’importance des industries agro-alimentaires comme acteurs ayant un impact sur l’environnement, mais aussi dû à l’importante montée économique de l’Asie du Sud-Est. L’étude de cas de deux importantes corporations agro-alimentaires, une en Thaïlande et l’autre aux Philippines, a été choisie comme approche comparative. Avec une perspective axée sur le capitalisme du sud-est asiatique et un accent sur la diaspora chinoise, nous avançons que ces deux corporations agro-alimentaires ont utilisé trois stratégies pour développer leur entreprise au niveau national, régional et international. Ces trois stratégies sont culturelle (valeurs communes, connections familiales et réseau diasporique), politique (utilisation et capitalisation des liens privilégiés avec les agences étatiques et acteurs politiques clés) et économique (un modèle d’affaires unique fondée sur une intégration verticale étendue). Cet essai suggère que les corporations agro-alimentaires en Asie du Sud-Est ont développé une façon de «faire des affaires» qui est particulière et cela leur a permis de devenir d’importants joueurs dans l’industrie agro-alimentaire.

  • Filipino American Youth and Culture by Ed Tiong
    Filipino American Youth and Culture by Ed Tiong General Information The Republic of the Philippines, located off the southeast coast of Asia, is one of the largest island groups in the world, numbering 7,107 islands. The 1995 population was approximately 60.5 million, with fifty-five percent of the people living on the largest island of Luzon. Approximately eighty-five percent of Filipinos are Catholic, with large numbers of Protestants and Muslims. Filipinos comprise approximately 111 cultural and linguistic groups, mainly of Malayo-Polynesian origin. The ethnic make-up of the population has been greatly influenced by Chinese, Spanish, and Caucasian American intermarriages. Among the eleven language groups of the country, Filipino is the official national language which is native to the peoples of Central Luzon. The Philippines is, nevertheless, the third largest English-speaking country in the world. During the sixteenth century, Spain conquered the islands which they named for King Phillip II as "Las Islas Filipinas" or the Philippine Islands. After 327 years of Spanish domination, the Filipinos revolted, and won their independence in 1898. However, after the Spanish-American War, the United States controlled the Philippines until 1942, when Japan seized control until they were liberated by the Americans. Finally, in 1946, the American Congress granted independence to the Filipinos, and the second Republic of the Philippines was born. Filipino Migration Historians identify four major waves of Filipino migration to the United States. The first wave between 1898 and 1941 was comprised mostly of "pensionados" or scholars sent by the American government to U.S. schools, and large numbers of laborers recruited to work on farms in Hawaii and California.

  • Christmas Is in the Air!
    CHRISTMAS IS IN THE AIR! Hohoho Merry Christmas! WHAT IS CHRISTMAS? Christmas is celebrated to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the Son of God. The name 'Christmas' comes from the Mass of Christ (or Jesus). A Mass service (which is sometimes called Communion or Eucharist) is where Christians remember that Jesus died for us and then came back to life. The 'Christ- Mass' service was the only one that was allowed to take place after sunset (and before sunrise the next day), so people had it at Midnight! So we get the name Christ-Mass, shortened to Christmas. Christmas is now celebrated by people around the world, whether they are Christians or not. It's a time when family and friends come together and remember the good things they have. People, and especially children, also like Christmas as it's a time when you give and receive presents! 1. Starting Christmas in the -ber months If you look up “longest Christmas season in the world”, the Philippines will come up as a result. For most, Christmas starts in December. But for Filipinos, Christmas starts the moment it’s September. There’s no textbook explanation for why we celebrate Christmas so early, but there are theories. Perhaps it’s because of our predominantly Catholic beliefs. 2. Setting up a Belen In most countries, nativity scenes – also known as the belen – are only set up in churches or other religious spaces. But in the Philippines, it’s common to find it everywhere. In fact, every Filipino household will have one set up during the festive season.
