Faith, Heritage & Resilience: Celebrating Filipino American History Month
In this special episode of Rise Tayo, Coach Blanche celebrates Filipino American History Month by reflecting on the rich legacy of faith, heritage, and resilience that Filipinos have carried for generations.
From the very first Filipinos who set foot in California in 1587, to the Manilamen who built the first settlement in Louisiana, to the over 4.5 million Filipino Americans thriving across the U.S. today, our story is one of perseverance, service, and calling.
Discover how our history connects to Scripture, how God has appointed us “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14), and how we can continue to shine His light in every sphere of life—from healthcare to education, business, technology, and beyond.
👉 Don’t just celebrate history—be part of it.
Rise with purpose, embrace your heritage, and live boldly for Christ today.
“Ang tunay na pagmamahal sa bayan ay nasa gawa, hindi sa salita.” - Jose Rizal
