USA • March 2026. Filipino American Weekend Guide Bay Area Los Angeles New York Hawaii Canada events March 20 2026 Filipino community Lent Seafood City Jollibee Holi Chinatown UCLA Ifugao merienda. USA • MARCH 2026 Filipino American Weekend Guide: Bay Area, LA, NYC, Hawaii & Canada From San Francisco rooftops to UCLA lecture halls—and across the diaspora—here's where Filipino Americans are gathering this weekend. If you grew up Filipino in the Bay Area, you already know what Fridays in Lent feel like. The group chats light up, families start planning dinner, and by late afternoon, the lines at Seafood City and Jollibee stretch into the parking lot.

Maligayang Bati Bunso. Your 2nd Birthday Party! Backdated to July 15, 2006. By J.F.R. Perseveranda This photo captures a quiet birthday moment with my youngest child and her late mom.  Tita Chit is the background filling her plate so, kainan na ! Mama Helen was present, along with the Baluyut, Garcia and Recio families. The room was filled with laughter, love, and family memories. Every time I see this photo, it reminds me of the warmth of that day in 2006. Your lechon was HUGE, Chesca! Atet, ang ganda mo! Miss na miss ka namin. Miss na miss kita!

Ang PinoyBuilt ay naisip na noong 2003 bilang isang Filipino social hub, bago pa sumikat ang FB. Kapag dito kayo nagbabasa, nagko-comment, at bumabalik, PinoyBuilt ang nakikinabang , hindi Big Tech. Ibini-backpost ko ang mga litrato ayon sa tunay na petsa kung kailan sila kuha, at ibinabalik ko sila taon-taon kapag dumarating ulit ang petsang ...
