Pananglagip Kadagiti Malagip Ita a Bulan ti Oktubre [Fil-Am History Month]

IDI 2008, impasa ti Hawaii State Legislature ti HB 3343 HD1, a mangdesignar wenno mangitudo ti bulan ti Oktubre a kas Filipino-American History Month. Nakapasa iti House of Representatives ken iti Senado ti singasing a paglintegan ket pinirmaan ti Gobernador tapno mamagbalin a naan-anay a linteg idi Abril 15, 2008. Ti nasao a linteg ket inyam-ammo ni Representative Joey Manahan [D29-Sand Island, Kalihi Kai, Kapalama] ken miembro ti Filipino Caucus. Ti Fil-Am History Month ket maramrambakanen iti Estados Unidos manipud pay idi 1988. Nupay kasta, ti Hawaii State Legislature ti immuna a governing body a nangbigbig ti bulan ti Oktubre a kas Fil-Am History Month.

Naramenan ti agdama a henerasion dagiti Filipino-Americans ti Hawaii iti nangato nga arapaap a nangsagrap ti benepisio a gapuanan dagiti nagtaudan a kaputotan wenno nagannak a nagkapkapudotan a nagtrabaho kadagiti plantasion ti kaunasan ken kapinyaan idi un-una. Ngem no saan a gapu kadagitoy maawagan ti "Sakada" a nanglukat iti ruangan ti naranraniag a masakbayan kadagiti simmaruno a kaputotanda, asino ni Filipino iti Hawaii ita?

Iti panagtultuloy a panagsangpet dagiti ub-ubbing a henerasion, dagitoy ti mangbalbaliw ti ethnoculture iti America. Iti ingangato ti bilang ken ilalawa ti socio-economic ken opurtunidad ti edukasion ti mangted iti panagtalek ken kababalin a mangitandudo ti birtud ti namnama wenno napintas a pannirigan ti biag iti laksid dagiti karit ken pannubok kadagitoy baro a kameng ti sosiedad ti America. Saanen nga ibain ti kultura a nagappuan.

Pudno, nasagrap no di pay ket inawat dagiti ub-ubbing a henerasion a Fil-Ams ti nangatngato a klase ti edukasion, ad-adu a trabaho a pagserkan, ti kaadu nga ammoda no maipapan iti kompleksidad ti politika, panagtalek iti bukod a kinatao ken kabaelan, ken adda kadakuada ti tulbek a manglukat ken mangyuswat kadagiti kabaroanan nga idea a mayataday iti agdama a panawen. Kayatna a sawen, adun ti nagluposan no maikumpera iti nagsaadan dagidi nagkauna a Filipino iti Hawaii, nasuroken sangagasut a tawen ti napalabas. Ket agtultuloyto latta nga agsangpet dagiti ub-ubbing a henerasion tapno sapulenda ti naranraniag a masakbayanda kadagiti pilida a pagilian a papanan, ngem ti Estados Unidos ti primaria a destino ti kaaduan- ti maawagan iti "land of the freedom."

Dagiti kaduogan a paradigmo ti nangted iti dalan kadagiti kabaroanan a konsepto kas iti diversity wenno kinaadu/kinasabsabali, nagkaadu a klase ti kultura, padapada nga opurtunidad, panangawat iti aksion nga umiso, pannakairaman wenno inclusion ken kinapudno ti politika iti nagbalinen nga aginaldaw a lengguahe iti America ken ti pannakirelasion iti sosiedad.

Adda pattapatta nga 5,500 wenno nasursurok pay a bilang dagiti imigrante, kaaduan kadakuada ti ub-ubbing ken agtutubo ti sumangpet iti tunggal tawen.

Sabali laeng dagiti taga-Pangasinan, La Union, Tarlac ken dadduma pay a kabangibang a probinsia nga adda metten iti Hawaii. No ar-arigen, kasla u-ong nga agtubo ken agadu ti puli ni Filipino.

Iti itutupuar ti middle class, adu met latta ti agtartrabaho iti working class. Iti panagadu ti management, propesional ken kaarngi a pagtrabahuan, adda maipagarup nga apagkalima dagiti agtutubo-nataengan ti nairakurak a naduktalan a maibilang iti daytoy a kategoria. Karaman ditoy a propesion dagiti doctor, nurses, therapists, abogado, inhinyero ken business executives. Buklen ti 41 a porsiento, no di pay nasursurok ti grupo iti benneg ti sales and administratives, idinto a dagiti hotel workers, housekeepers, polis ken sabsabali pay a sektor ti mangbukel ti 30 a porsiento.

Nupay adu dagiti karit ken pannubok a naglasatan iti biagna, naileppasna ti kurso a kina-abogasia iti Loyola University ken Bachelor of Arts iti UCLA.

Maysa kadagiti makapainteres a panunoten wenno lagipen mainaig ti political career ni Cayatano ket ti saanna a panangaramat ti kina-Filipino-na idi nagkandidato. Malagip nga idi damona ti nangabak, nagpaidasig daytoy iti maysa a distrito ti Hawaii a kaaduan nga agnaed ditoy ket Japanese-Americans. Daytoy ti nangpaneknek a saan a makasupusop ti tulong ti maymaysa a kultural a grupo iti kondision ken no seknan iti panagkandidato. Kasapulan ketdi ti tulong ti dakdakkel pay a politikal ken kultural a grupo.

Gapu iti daytoy, nairaman met a naimaldit ti naganna iti pakasaritaan dagiti Filipino iti Hawaii.

Ken saanto met a malipatan dagiti dadduma a Fil-Ams a nagserbi iti konseho ken dadduma pay a posision iti gobierno- naimaldit metten dagiti nagnaganda iti pakasaritaan ni Filipino iti Hawaii. Kasta met a karamanda a nangparimat pay ti imahe ni Filipino kadagiti sabsabali a puli wenno kultural a grupo a kapulpulapolda iti inaldaw a panagbiagda iti Hawaii.

Kas met la kadagiti kaaduan a historiador, insurat dagiti American social scientists a ti komunidad ti etniko, wenno mainaig iti maysa a grupo a kultural iti maysa a dakdakkel pay a politikal ken kultural a grupo ken ethnicity ket saan laeng a makuna a sibubukel wenno interemente a parte wenno paset ti maysa a naisangsangayan nga aspeto wenno karakteristiko a banag a nasurat iti sosial a sistema ti America ken ti pakasaritaanna.

Ket kas met la iti kaaduan a kultura ti komunidad iti Estados Unidos, saan laeng a maymaysa ti makuna a komunidad dagiti Filipino. Agdepende ketdi iti kaadu, pangal ti panagdur-as iti sosio-kultura, langa, wenno karakterismo ti sosial/institusion ti gimong kas iti impormal ken pormal, pannakirelasion iti pang-ekonomia a politika ti lokal, siudad, ken estado.

Ket wen, saantay' koma a lipatan a nasukog ken natagibi ti panagdur-as ti komunidad dagiti Filipino iti Hawaii gaput' pannakasapulda idi iti trabahador a nagtrabaho kadagiti plantasion ti kapinyaan ken kaunasan...nga isut' nanglukat iti naranraniag a masakbayantayo ita. Wen, isudat' pudpudno a pakasaritaan ni Filipino iti Hawaii.

SECOND PHOTO: Christine Sabado places a sign outside Sabado Galleries while opening the Market Street business Wednesday morning in Wailuku. Sabado said she and artist husband Phil Sabado have been working in Wailuku for 35 years, but their move to the former Brown-Kobayashi storefront near Iao Theater has taken the gallery to a new level. She said she is excited both by Wailuku’s future and its touch with its past. “I congratulate people when they come to Wailuku,” she said. “I say, ‘congratulations, you are now in our local marketplace.’ Paia and Makawao are also walking towns, but Wailuku is different.” She said her daughter, Jackie Sabado, also has a shop on Market Street. Paradise Now features Jackie Sabado’s handmade fabrics and prints. “I’m excited for Wailuku,” Christine Sabado said.
