Reminder that you absolutely need Saints of Storm and Sorrow to round out your Filipino American History Month Reading list! Inspired by early babaylan lead rebellions against Spanish colonization

Come for a failed child chosen one in service to the precolonial goddess of Storms Anitun Tabu living in hiding as a nun who accidentally becomes a lightning rod for her peoples fight against colonization

Stay for drowning colonizers, angry women, toxic sapphic nuns, a marriage of convenience and so much more

Plushie idea: halo-halo pretending to be boba

My college dining hall was serving halo-halo because it’s Filipino American History Month, and after seeing so many plushies of boba, I felt compelled to draw this. Here’s the halo-halo I got, for reference:

(Apparently it usually has more stuff in it, including a scoop of ube ice cream that would be a dead giveaway, but a barebones half-melted halo-halo in a plastic cup definitely looks like boba from the right angle)

PHILIPPINES MENTIONED?!

These images were taken in the Philippines during the Spanish-American War, likely shortly before the start of the Philippine-American War, in 1898-99. They are part of an album that documents the experiences of Frank Freeman Atkinson, Sergeant in Battery D, US Army.

The Philippine-American War broke out when the United States annexed the Philippines after the Spanish–American War, which began when the Philippines revolted against Spanish rule, rather than acknowledging the Philippines' declaration of independence. The war resulted in over 200,000 Filipino civilian deaths, mostly due to disease and famine. Some estimates go as high as one million civilian deaths. After several delays, the United States eventually granted full Philippine independence in 1946 through the Treaty of Manila.

October was chosen to commemorate the arrival of the first Filipinos who landed in what is now Morro Bay, California on October 18, 1587. It is also the birth month of Filipino American labor leader Larry Itliong.

In California and Hawaii, where many Filipino Americans reside, Filipino American History Month is widely celebrated. Many Filipino American organizations in these states often initiate their own independent celebrations. 2006 was a pivotal year as it marked the centennial celebration of Filipino migration to the United States.

While some used the term Filipino American Heritage Month interchangeably with Filipino American History Month, FANHS cites that the month should be properly focused on "history" instead of "heritage." Whereas history includes the events, experiences, and lives of people and their impact on society, "heritage" is solely about cultural traditions handed down from the past.

Happy Filipino American History Month 🇵🇭
