Antioch Police Chief Tammany Brooks on Tuesday said no chokehold was used in the high-profile case of Angelo Quinto, a 30-year-old man, who died in police custody back in December. The man's family has filed a wrongful death claim against the department, alleging police killed their son by placing a knee on his neck.

The Filipino-American family filed a wrongful death claim against the Antioch Police Department last week with the family’s lawyer, John Burris, calling Angelo Quinto’s death “particularly horrific”. https://t.co/wnXWU3b14K

In the Filipino-American experience, we often talk about "building"—building a life, building a legacy, and building a future on Turtle Island . "Wrestling is a metaphor for our collective experience. It’s about finding your footing, staying grounded, and facing ev...

Daku kaayo ang kalipay: Reunited in Valencia, Bukidnon (April 1, 2005)

- 4/02/2026 01:19:00 PM

April 2, 2026 at 01:17PM by pinoybuilt The April 1, 2005 Archive: Valencia, Bukidnon On March 25, 2005, the distance finally ended. After being separated since December 2004, I reunited with Tess and our girls in the cooler, quieter highlands of Bukidnon. This is a 30-second raw window into that afternoon, captured on an Olympus C3000z in the Barangay of Poblacion. You can hear the unedited "hiss" of 2005 technology, but more importantly, you hear my late wife, Tess. In the last third of the video, her laughter cuts through the decades—a reminder of the joy that anchored our diaspora journey. (I'll have to find video of her speaking fluent Bisaya). At PinoyBuilt.com, we analyze the news of today through the lens of where we’ve been. Sometimes, the most important "data" isn't a statistic, but a voice from 21 years ago. #PinoyBuilt #Bukidnon #Bisaya #FilAm #Diaspora #Legacy #2005Archive via YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQZR7qkJx20
