Pagbabahagi highlights Pilipino Americans in the City of Carson

Carson, CA – On Saturday, October 30th, Pilipino Americans and other active members of the community will be putting together a one-of-a-kind event entitled “Pagbabahagi,” which means “Sharing.” This event will highlight Pilipino Americans in the City of Carson in honor og the resolution passed by the City Council to recognize October as Filipino American History Month. Everyone is welcome to join the Pilipino community on both events to celebrate the historic importance of Pilipino Americans from the past, the present, and the future.

The Pilipino American community of the city of Carson has been very pro-active in ensuring the passing of these resolutions, however the existing challenge of the lack of youth involvement still stands and the Pilipino community is very hopeful to involve more youth on these two events at SouthBay Pavilion. Organizations like BakitWhy.com has taken initiative to spread awareness within their community and their followers to help the City of Carson involve more Pilipino American youth groups in the community.

On October 30th, the Pilipino American Community in the City of Carson will be giving annual awards to two active local youth candidates. One award will be the Larry Itliong Youth Award, which is for someone who shows the most promise in making a difference in the community. Candidates must write a maximum of three-page essay on how they plan to make a difference in Carson’s community. The other award is for the Filipino American History Month Teen Award, which is for a young Pilipino American who is most likely to change history. A presentation must be designed and an essay be written describing their current path to change history and how this can affect the next generation.
