The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Hilo<\/a> celebrates the richness of Filipino heritage and culture during Filipino American Heritage Month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Filipino American Heritage Month is a time when we celebrate the diversity of our heritage and the richness of our culture as Filipinos,” says Norman Arancon<\/strong>, associate professor of horticulture and an organizer of the month’s events. “It is also the time when we recognize several Filipinos in the past who paved the way for many others—the path to making it into the United States, the land of opportunities. Many of them held important positions in the community and the government and were responsible for recognizing the contributions of Filipinos in the economy and education.”<\/p>\n
