Filipino American History Month Celebration
FIL-AM HISTORY MONTH PARTY THIS SUNDAY 10/20!
Hereโs a rough English translation of the hit song โBEBOTโ by The Black Eyed Peas
โHey man, all of you listen to me
Here comes the real Filipino
Came from the barrio โ Sapang Bato
Went to L.A. to work
In order to help my mother
Because life is so hard
But the dispositionโs still bright
When eating โ we use our hands
What we eat โ chicken adobo
The balut โ being sold at the corner
Share the glass already
My friend, letโs start drinking
Filipino! Filipino! Filipino! Filipino!โ
