Andrea is a current, and lifelong resident of Montgomery County. She upholds her Filipino culture through her leadership position in the Filipino Cultural Association (FCA) at UMD and through learning about Philippine history.

“A majority of my family is back home in the Philippines and the community around me wasn’t filled with Filipinos, so it made me feel out of touch with my culture. I know now that wasn’t the case because what does being a “true Filipino” or “authentic Filipino” even mean? - Andrea

Rebecca is a current resident of MoCo and has lived in the area since she was young. As she explores her Filipino identity, she continues pushing herself to learn more by asking her mom language questions, and keeping up with current events in the PH.

“I’ve been taking more initiative by reading and consuming as much from activists and people in the Philippines, like Maria Ressa - especially with the election that just happened. Even keeping up with Asian-American activists in general, that’s really how I’ve been learning.” - Rebecca

Originally from Fairfax, Alan is a current resident of MoCo and has lived here for a decade. He has been a musician since he was a kid, and continues sharing his talent with the world as an adult.

“I looked for a Filipino community for a really long time - throughout my teens and twenties, and for a long time my family was the only place I could turn to for that stuff. In my current age, I try to make my own communities and create that sense of belonging for myself.” - Alan

Kababayan MoCo would like to introduce our photographer! Catherisa Apostol is a lifelong resident of Montgomery County and hopes that this project will inspire the Filipinos in MoCo to connect with each other and create art that honors our identity and heritage. 📸🎞🇵🇭

"Growing up Filipino-American I struggled to understand how my Filipino heritage connected to my American heritage. Filipino history was only ever taught to us in relation to American colonization of the islands" - Cat
