Fil-Am Community (Filipino-American)

The Fil-Am community, or Filipino-American community, refers to individuals of Filipino descent living in the United States. This diverse group includes immigrants from the Philippines, their descendants, and those who identify with Filipino culture. Filipino-Americans contribute significantly to various fields, including business, arts, education, and politics. They celebrate their heritage through festivals, cuisine, and cultural events. The community has a rich history, marked by immigration waves, particularly after World War II and in the 1990s, reflecting the broader experiences of Asian Americans in the U.S.
