Why did you want the position you currently hold?
- I wanted to become Corresponding Secretary so I could hold symposium and help get people stoked on Filipino issues by bringing in influential speakers
If you could have any other position in OYFA at this very moment, what would it be and why?
- ISIP: I really think being an ISIP chair is more than teaching us how to count in Tagalog. If i were ISIP co-chair, I would make it my number one priority to expose people to Filipino issues, and encourage fellow OYFANs to think about and act upon prevailing topics relevant to Filipinos and Filipino Americans. I think ISIP is all about helping others achieve a collective identity as a Filipino/Filipino American.
What does it means to you to be Filipino?
- To me, being a Filipino means being rooted in one of the most unique ethnic groups in the world. Pilipino ako. It's two words that describe hundreds of years of colonialism. Two words that describe family. Two words that describe the most delicious food I've ever eaten. Two words that describe pride.
If you had three wishes, what would they be?
- To see the New York Mets win the World Series
- To bodyboard in Sandy Beach, Hawaii under perfect conditions. 8 foot waves, glassy, no wind
- To not be allergic to shrimp and peanuts
