The Comic Terminasian by Luna shows Filipinos in unity fighting for changes having power to themselves fighting for the same goal as a community. Ruby Ibarra's song "Us" has lines such as "Sis" and "Isang Bagsak" that show a shared identity between Filipinos. This Filipino value is Kapwa which is a shared identity with someone else. The idea of Filipino Hospitality mentioned by Nadal demonstrates community giving someone care because they are in your presence. ( ) The Manongs valued community pushing for Cesar Chavez and the Mexican farm workers to join with them showing Kapwa between the two different farming ethnicities to work together for a common goal.]]> 2019-11-05 22:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/haronson1/jf39n3qmxazq/wish/407176484 Ana D. https://padlet.com/haronson1/jf39n3qmxazq/wish/407176497 Lakas ng Loob
Ruby Ibarra's 'US' is a call to decolonization by rejecting the ideas of marianismo and encouraging Filipinas to use the hidden power of their lakas ng loob--inner strength--to live against those ideals and become their true self. ]]> 2019-11-05 22:58:35 UTC https://padlet.com/haronson1/jf39n3qmxazq/wish/407176497 Robert https://padlet.com/haronson1/jf39n3qmxazq/wish/407176521 Filipino-Americans shows the value of kapwa.

In Luna's cartoon, "Terminasian" Filipinos throughout history have joined together to fight for a common cause and to have their voices heard. The reason for this is because standing up for what they believe in is stronger with a community to back them up.]]> 2019-11-05 22:58:42 UTC https://padlet.com/haronson1/jf39n3qmxazq/wish/407176532 Joubert T. https://padlet.com/haronson1/jf39n3qmxazq/wish/407176540 Claim: Filipinos will stand up for themselves regardless of the struggles and will unite to become powerful.

The song "US" by Ruby Ibarra portrays in this which is "All we want is our freedom
And the right to live on on our motherland" and "Island woman rise, walang makakatigil. Brown, brown woman, rise, alamin ang yung ugat. They got nothin' on us". It shows how we Filipinos will never give up despite the struggles and will be stronger than ever once we unite.

In Josh Luna's cartoon, it is depicts that we have been fighting all these years since the start of the Spanish colonization until now. A specific example within the illustration is when people are fighting for our rights for equal wages and goes to show how e band together in order to achieve a common enemy or goal.

A common themed value to this is Bayanihan, working together to achieve a common goal, all through the years we would band together to achieve independence from the Americans and also portray that we will never give up until the end.]]> 2019-11-05 22:58:44 UTC https://padlet.com/haronson1/jf39n3qmxazq/wish/407176540 Mari G. mg1073824 https://padlet.com/haronson1/jf39n3qmxazq/wish/407176571 Claim: Filipinos has the power the unite together and speak up for their rights.
According to Nadal in his book Filipino American Psychology, he talked about the Colonial Mentality and stereotypes that the Filipinos experienced when they immigrated to U.S. and because of this they erased the culture that they have in order to fit in with the American's values. Unlike some other Filipino Americans who immigrated to America, they still embrace the Filipino culture that they have (pg.98). In Ruby Ibarra's song "US", she stated, "Island women rise" and she repeated this a couple times. This is her telling the women to stand up and stand together against the stereotypes that they are experiencing and she is reminding women to that they have the power to speak up. Ibarra immigrated to America with her family and she is one of the Filipinos who still have their culture. In her song, it was showing a lot of values and I believe the main value that she was using was Bayanihan. They were working together as a community to get what they want and deserve. I can also relate this value to Josh Luna's cartoon of a bunch of Asian Americans standing together with signs and their fists up in the air. This picture also shows Lakas ng Loob because they have that courage inside themselves to stand up and represent all the Asian Americans.]]> 2019-11-05 22:58:51 UTC https://padlet.com/haronson1/jf39n3qmxazq/wish/407176571 Ayanna A. https://padlet.com/haronson1/jf39n3qmxazq/wish/407176578 Filipinos are a very determined group of individuals.

Filipinos do not hesitate to stand up for each other when they see oppression towards their community.

-Lakas ng loob: inner strength
-Utang ng loob: debt of reciprocity
-Bayanihan: community

-"Island women rise, walang makakatigil/Brown, brown woman, rise alamin and young ugat" (Klassy, Hook)
-"Pinays have always been part, and parcel, if not, imperative and critical to the struggle/Filipinas are no strangers to wielding our own power" (Santilla, Spoken Word)

Bayanihan is shown in Josh Luna's comic, "Terminasian" when you see a crowd of Filipinos fighting against issues such as sovereignty, money, and working conditions.

"Lakas ng loob can be best demonstrated through Filipino "People Power" protests in which groups found the strength to stand up for what they believed in" (Nadal 40).]]> 2019-11-05 22:58:55 UTC https://padlet.com/haronson1/jf39n3qmxazq/wish/407176602 Mia Mae D. https://padlet.com/haronson1/jf39n3qmxazq/wish/407176613 Unity
Filipino history has always been intertwined with American affairs. Filipinos have to band together and find their inner strength to fight against any oppressive behavior.

-Lakas ng Loob: Inner Strength
-Bayanihan: Community
-Kapwa: Identity

-"We don’t take no shit except an oppressor’s lifeline/
If you step out of your line, I will protect what’s mine" (Ibarra, Verse 3)

And when you are ready, sis, we’ll be right here/ " (Santilla, HOOK)

Filipinos have a strong sense of unity with their community. One of the major values in Filipino culture is kapwa, which translated roughly means fellow being. It is also represented Joshua's Terminasian where the left side of the comic show Filipinos all together fighting for something in common. It is even mentioned in "US" by Ruby Ibarra, Klassy, and Faith Santilla where one of the lyrics hints towards this idea with the lyrics in question being "Brown, brown women rise, alamin ang yung ugat, They got nothing on us. Nothing on us, nothing on us." Both sources indicate that the fillipinos have a strong sense of communtiy, even after all these years and the take over of two nations , Spain and the US, they still hold this value through out their community. ]]> 2019-11-05 22:58:59 UTC https://padlet.com/haronson1/jf39n3qmxazq/wish/407176619 Miguel https://padlet.com/haronson1/jf39n3qmxazq/wish/407176627 Claim: Filipinos are resilient, determined and have a strong sense of unity.

Josh Luna's comic strip, "INTERGENERASIANAL TRAUMA" expresses the idea of how ongoing problems that Filipino Americans go through effects the way they view life and end up raising their children. In every generation, Filipinos are being controlled and overthrown by mostly whites. Filipinos never lived in peace and the last illustration shows that they possibly never will if we don't stand up for ourselves. ]]> 2019-11-05 22:59:19 UTC https://padlet.com/haronson1/jf39n3qmxazq/wish/407176692 Carlo J https://padlet.com/haronson1/jf39n3qmxazq/wish/407176712 Bayanihan keeps Filipinos united in the face of adversity.

Bayanihan: community
Lakas ng loob: inner strength
Utang ng loob: reciprocity
In the comic by Josh Luna,

Bayanihan can be seen through the numerous fists standing together symbolizing the sense of Filipino unity. The reason for this is because Filipinos are very group-oriented and are willing to band together when they truly believe in something. ]]> 2019-11-05 22:59:23 UTC https://padlet.com/haronson1/jf39n3qmxazq/wish/407176712 Matthew https://padlet.com/haronson1/jf39n3qmxazq/wish/407176722 Unity is important and is constantly practiced in Filipino culture and history.

Filipinos tend to not give up and try to be independent through unity and power of bayanihan.
“All we want is our freedom

And the right to live on on our motherland” (song “us”)
“Your DNA contains building blocks made from the

mud of over 500 years of resistance and survival” (us)

In the Josh luna Cartoon, it specifically talks how Filipinos were being bombarded with racism and discrimination which could lead to depression and other certain mental illness. Filipinos are usually soft on emotional feelings and it may cause damage through their state of mind.

On my experience with the manongs, it made me sad due to the fact that they were not credited enough work which eventually changed how Filipinos were treated until now.
