Negros Occidental • April 2026 Negros 19: Massacre or Legitimate Encounter in Toboso? A 40-year-old Filipino American from California was among 19 people killed in a 12-hour firefight in Negros Occidental on April 19, 2026. The Armed Forces of the Philippines calls it a lawful encounter. BAYAN USA and rights groups call it a massacre. Here is what is verified, what is contested, and why this one should matter to every Fil-Am household.

MIAMI, FLORIDA • MARCH 2026 The Growing Pains of Greatness: Alex Eala's 60-Minute Masterclass in Resilience at the Miami Open The 20-year-old Filipina falls to Karolína Muchová 6-0, 6-2 in the Round of 16 — and the Czech Curse extends to 0-13 — but the scoreline tells less than half the story of a young woman learning to dismantle the best in the world. Alex Eala competes at the 2026 Miami Open, where she advanced to the Round of 16 before falling to Karolína Muchová. (PinoyBuilt graphic) There is a specific kind of sting that comes with a 6-0, 6-2 scoreline — especially when it falls on the shoulders of a nation's sporting standard-bearer. In the humid air of the Grandstand Court at Hard Rock Stadium ...

Tagalog Thursday • March 2026 Tagalog Thursday: Bridging Culture and Catching the P-Pop Wave with BINI How one song — and one word — can reconnect Filipino-American families with the language, pride, and identity that travel across generations. For Filipino families in America, language doesn't disappear overnight. It fades conversation by conversation — until the day your child answers in English when you spoke to them in Tagalog, and you realize the thread slipped somewhere along the way. Tagalog Thursday is about picking that thread back up. And right now, there's no better hook than BINI. The eight-member P-pop group from Star Music Philippines has become a genuine phenomenon — not just in Manila, but ...
