Peaceful Engagement & Community Focus

This demonstration allows residents to voice concerns about federal policies and recent actions by ICE in a positive and peaceful way. Participants are encouraged to bring signs or banners, stay hydrated, and dress warmly for the outdoor event.

As a naturalized U.S. citizen and immigrant from the Philippines, Atty. Mamaril will attend in support of immigrants and to encourage civic engagement. “Freedom of speech and freedom to peacefully assemble are enshrined in and protected by the Constitution and our Bill of Rights,” he said.

Founder, Social Media Manager & Content Creator at Pinoybuilt.com. Photographer at JFPerseveranda.com. Former IT Product Manager at Pacific Gas & Electric. I'm a 1.5 generation immigrant—Filipino-born, U.S.-raised—sharing stories that bridge cultures. Share yours at PINOYBUILT.com. I’m still learning about our roots, and I invite you to learn with me. I was born in Makati City and raised in Marikina, known for world-class shoes and strong community ties. I went to Marist School; my sister went to St. Scholastica’s. We spent weekends in Malate—those memories of old Manila still shape who I am. At 9, we moved to Chicago, where I saw snow for the first time. At 12, we relocated to Vallejo, CA. Since then, I’ve lived in Davis,Glendale (SoCal), back to Chicago in my 20s, San Francisco & Fremont. I visit SoCal often for family. Chicago will always be special—but go Golden State Warriors! At UC Davis, I was a member of Mga Kapatid, where I had the chance to participate in Pilipino Culture Night and perform traditional dances like Bangko. Now, as a father of three, I’m doing my best to pass on our Filipino heritage. Let’s build something Filipino together. Mabuhay. Salamat.
