LOS ANGELES Hard work, perseverance, and a little luck are the keys to success that mainstream FilAm TV broadcasters Maria Quiban of Fox News and Denise Dador of KABC shared to young FilAm co-eds at the Filipino in the Media panel discussion held at Loyola Marymount University last month. LMUs Filipino American Experience class sponsored the event. It was the first class about FilAm history at LMU since 2005.
Professor Florente Ibanez said the class is a way for younger FilAms to learn about their heritage. Students in the class not only learn about the FilAm experience but also about their contributions in the US.
Theres a thirst among young FilAms to know about their roots, said Ibanez. US, Filipinos are trying to discover ourselves because its not taught to us. When we think about Asians, we think about Chinese and Japanese but the Philippines has a long relationship with the US people Dont recognize.”
