Historians agree that there have been three major immigration patterns or “waves” of Philippine immigration into the United States, starting from the U.S. occupation of the Philippines at the turn of the 20th Century.

Pilipino-American student-run cultural organizations like Troy Philippines at the University of Southern California (USC) campus create programs and events to educate, engage, and foster increased awareness of Pilipino and Pilipino-American culture at the University, in the local, regional and global communities. On Sunday, October 19, 2008, USC Troy Philippines held its second annual Mabuhay Festival in McCarthy Quad on USC’s campus. With The Mabuhay Festival, USC Troy Phi aims to celebrate Pilipino culture while raising money for disadvantaged people in the Philippines.

Many questions may come to mind during this Pilipino American History Month. Perhaps one of the most interesting questions raised would be, "When exactly did Pilipino American history begin?" Surprisingly, Pilipino American history began long before the first English settlement of Jamestown (1607) was established. Pilipinos were the first Asians to cross the Pacific Ocean in 1587--twenty years before Jamestown was established.
