Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 тра 2021
- By the early to mid 1900’s, Little Manila in South Stockton became home to one of the largest Filipino populations in the country. There were many firsts for the Stockton area because of the Filipino community from churches, shops, and clubs, according to Terry Torres with the Filipino American National Historical Society.
What use to stretch for several blocks off El Dorado Street to Downtown, not much remains of Little Manila. Most of the buildings have been torn down as urban development and a highway moved in.
ABC10 reporter, Ananda Rochita provides an inside look at what used to be Little Manila in Stockton.

I adore Filipino people, they are warm, gracious and very accepting of others.
Thank you for your documentary.
The Philipino people of California need more recognition. These hard working people are the backbone of the country. God bless you and your families.
Bless these people but backbone of the country is quite a stretch don't you think
Hardworking people are definitely the backbone of our country.
Yeah definitely not the backbone LOL Maybe of the nurses...sure
Back home of country ??? Theee mostly on west coast only , I would say native Americans (Mexicans )or blacks are the back bone .
My grandfather had a pool hall there way back when. He made the journey to America in the early 20's and landed at one of the docks in fisherman's wharf SF. He was the kindest man I've ever known and loved America deeply.
I loved learning this history about Little Manila!
Filipinos are survivors. ✝️🇵🇭💯
If I drive up north , I'm going to stockton to visit the place where Filipinos built a little city long ago.. sucks that most of that town is freeway.Thanks for sharing the history that was once a big filipino city in Stockton. Proud to be Pinoy. 😃👍👍
I came to America and arrived in SanFrancisco

Hi. Is there a filipino community in california stockton who can help some filipinos there who are not able to find a good job? Or can help to send them home?
Perhaps a Filipino organization can help.
The first filipinos who settled in the U.S. was way back 17 th century in the wetlands of louisiana.. St.Malo they were fishermens..
1587 through the galleon trade as ship workers.
There were literally only a handful at that time, hardly the first real community
@@YYC403NOYPThey were Filipino slaves and never stayed in California at all
@@YYC403NOYPThey went on to work plantations in Mexico
Hey how do Filipino Americans get confused if they are Asian or not? The Philippines just hosted the Asian Games. The Philippines are one of the founding members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The Philippines do not compete in the Pacific Games with other Pacific Islands nations. The Philippines do not join Pacific Islands Forum like other Pacific Islands countries. If they even spent 1 minute to look it up, they'd find out the Philippines is in Southeast Asia.
It’s Asia but nothing like oriental culture because a lot of Spanish and American culture. A lot o the culture is similar to Island culture in visayans islands but yes it’s still part of Asia.
@@jrock2019 but we do have southeastern Asian culture though. Look at countries like Indonesia or Malaysia. Which we share the same culture.
@@saturnlights5239 yes southeastern Asian I agree, but not like East Asian.
@@saturnlights5239 but mostly in mindanao
Deyn ignorant learn The history just search Austronesian
These filipino immigrants would have been treated differently if they were blonde with blues eyes
That’s impossible, they would never have those features. Mexicans, Italians, etc could be blonde, but not Asians
Yes, I remember Little Manila when I was a kid growing up in the late 50s and early 60s. My folks would drive from the North Bay just to visit friends and Dad would meet his WW2 buddies at Bobby's gambling hall. LOL🇵🇭🇺🇸🇦🇺🪖✝️
Filipino heritage in Stockton is weak, that is why Jolibee and Seafood City etc are not existent in Stockton and will not thrive there.
