Our 2013 Filipino American History Calendar

Just in time for the holidays and the new year, our sixth annual Filipino American History Calendar from FANHS and Little Manila Foundation is hot off the press and ready for you to order! Order TODAY because we sell out every year! (Last year we sold out in one week!)

All calendar proceeds benefit the preservation efforts of the Little Manila Foundation and the Museum Fund of the Filipino American National Historical Society.

At only $10, it's the perfect gift for everyone and an affordable way to learn Filipino American history. Each month features a historic photograph from the Filipino American National Historical Society's extensive archives as well as community members' personal albums,  as well as important dates in Philippine and Filipino American History. The calendar is designed by Stockton Filipino American Rick Narvarte. This year's cover features the glamorous Los Filipinos Tailoring Shop, located at 232 S. El Dorado Street in the heart of Little Manila in the late 1920s. The Lazaro family (from left, Placido, a friend, Juliana, and Juliana's daughter Asuncion Guevarra (Nicolas) ran the shop.

This year's photographs features veterans of the First Filipino Infantry, strawberry workers, UFW Co-Founder and former Filipino Community of Stockton president Larry Itliong, a Manuel Roxas Post Christmas party, a Caballeros de Dimas Alang float, the Castillo family restaurant in Little Manila, the Aynaga family and Cecil Bonzo at the farmer's market "under the bridge" in Little Manila, a big crowd of Bridge Generation Pinays and Pinoys at a luau party in the 1940s. The photographs feature members of the following families and organizations: Caballeros de Dimas Alang, Filipino Youth Association (circa 1940s), Manuel Roxas Post and Auxiliary, the Filipino Community of Stockton, Castillo, Engkabo, Lazaro, Nicolas, Reyes, Unsod, Juanitas, Aynaga, Ninonuevo, Somera, Peña, Inosanto, Mata, Arca, Bonzo, Ybera, Saturno, Villegas, San Juan, Saguindel, Tomek, Agdeppa, Navarro, Cabayan, Itliong, Caballero, Gesulga, Rosal, Liwanag, Ente, Cordova, Bilar, Sabac, Riego, Batugo, our Little Manila Afterschool Program students, and many, many more. In fact, if you trace your roots to Stockton, you have a relative or friend in this calendar!

Almost every day features a different significant date or event in Filipino American history. If you had your 2012 Calendar, you would know Dec. 13, 1928, California farmers passed a resolution to exclude Filipino immigration. Also, on Dec. 13 1941, Filipinos in Stockton called a boycott of Japanese businesses and wore "I Am Filipino" buttons to protect against anti-Japanese racial violence that unfortunately erupted against Asian Americans during World War II . And those are just a few examples of all you will learn from our calendar!
