FIL AM · FILIPINO

I tried not to get pulled into the Diddy case, but I found out Cassie Ventura is Filipino-American. So it drew me in. I'll admit it: when the news broke about the verdict involving Sean "Diddy" Combs, I was stunned. Like many who grew up on Bad Boy Records hits, Diddy was a household name. Smooth, flashy, and seemingly untouchable — until now. Cassie: The Woman Behind the Story I’ll be honest — I’d always wondered what happened to Cassie. Her 2006 hit song "Me & U" was everywhere. Sultry, hypnotic, and minimalistic, it stood out in a crowded pop-R&B landscape. But after a few features and sporadic appearances, she seemed to fade from the spotlight. Now I understand that a big part of that absence was tied to her relationship with Combs. Cassie started dating Diddy around 2007, when she was just 21. The relationship was long-lasting but marked by rumors of manipulation and imbalance. Her career never fully took off, and now we know part of the re...

Cenon Audencial was a guerilla with the Philippine Resistance Movement turned second lieutenant in the U.S. Armed Forces in the Far East in the early 1940s. Like many of the 260,000 Filipinos who fought and served under and alongside the U.S. military during World War II, Audencial may never be recognized for his war efforts because of lost documentation. Veterans Day (originally known as Armistice Day) is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces (who were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable). In 1946 after World War II concluded, President Harry S. Truman signed the Rescission Act, which provided Filipino soldiers would be stripped of their statuses as U.S veterans, effectively denying them their rightful benefits. It was one of the greatest injustices in U.S history. In 1946 after World War II concluded, President Harry S. Truman signed the Rescission Act, which pr...

As rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan's efforts to send in state police and the National Guard were blocked by the federal government for a full 90 minutes. Now, Hogan – a Republican – is calling for President Trump to resign or be removed from office. Joining these calls is the Lincoln Project, the anti-Trump Republican group formed in 2019. Its co-founder Rick Wilson calls the violence “sedition and insurrection,” and speaks with Hari Sreenivasan about what’s at stake. The Lincoln Project is an American political action committee formed in late 2019 by a number of Republicans and former Republicans. During the 2020 presidential election, it aimed to prevent the re-election of Donald Trump and defeat all Republicans in close races running for re-election in the United States Senate. Maryland governor was denied permission to send National Guard & State Police, despite requests from DC mayor & congressional leaders (needed b/c...

Thanks to my friend Jen for this. Sharing is caring. Donald Trump said that if I voted for Hillary Clinton I'd be stuck with a criminal President under constant federal investigation from day one.

'I just don't understand why we're not doing that' — Dr. Fauci says all states should be under a stay-at-home order I totally agree with Dr. Fauci. Unfortunately, we're lacking effective leadership at the national level. Dr. Anthony Fauci , director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases , suggested Thursday that the federal government should impose a nationwide stay-at-home order to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus in the United States . [post_ads] In his strongest comments yet, Dr. Anthony Fauci says he "doesn't understand" why every state isn't under a stay-at-home order—a move Pres. Trump continues to resist, arguing those decisions should be left to the states. https://t.co/OwiztiC975 — ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) April 3, 2020 Jared Kushner is helping lead the government’s coronavirus response while his brother Joshua Kushner is the co-founder of a digital health insurance startup company c...
