Some farmworker movement history for #CesarChavezDay: In 1955 Filipino Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee went on strike. 8 days later, the Latino National Farmworkers Association voted to join the strike (led to UFW)
The UFW strike was broad, not simply about 1 leader 🧵
The UFW strike was broad, not simply about 1 leader 🧵
Unionists like Larry Itliong & Philip Vera Cruz were socialists. They knew in order to win the strike, they had to break the bosses’ division of workers across racial groups - unite around class. Their leadership w/Dolores Huerta & Cesar Chavez broke decades of boss tactics #UFW
The solidarity clap that many of us use in movements today was created by the farmworkers, who spoke different languages, as a signal to stop working, walk off the fields, and STRIKE. It starts slow, then gets louder, faster, like their heartbeats, into a universal rally cry #UFW
#TodayinHistory in 1894, Paz Márquez-Benítez, author of the very first #Filipino #shortstory in English, was born in Lucena City, Tayabas (now Quezon Province). She was a women's rights advocate, beauty queen, & a founder of #PH Women's University. THREAD. #WomensHistoryMonth 
Born to the couple Gregorio Marquez & Maria Jurado, both educators, the Marquezes were a prominent family in Tayabas. She inherited from them a passion for learning, entering Tayabas High School (now Quezon National High School) at the young age of 9.
Living at the turn of the 20th c. when #PH was ceded to the U.S., Paz was part of 1st gen of Filipinos educated in the ways & inclinations of America. Her Spanish became "ceremonial," Tagalog "utilitarian", w/ English becoming "the language of her heart."
#TodayinHistory in 1875, the 1st ordained Filipino #Protestant pastor, & founder of the 1st indigenous Protestant church in #PH (@IEMELIF), Nicolás Zamora, was born in #Binondo #Manila #PH. His father was nephew to Fr. Jacinto Zamora (1 of the #GOMBURZA). THREAD. #PH #history
The unjust execution of the #GOMBURZA in 1872 opened the eyes of Filipinos to the rampant abuse & corruption of the Spanish colonial regime against Filipinos. Fr. Jacinto Zamora, the youngest of the 3, lost his mind prior to being executed.
Jacinto's nephew, Paulino, harbored resentment vs. the oppression. Discontented w/ the religion of the friars, he began to smuggle Spanish Bibles w/c were forbidden at the time. During #PH Revolution in 1896, he was arrested & exiled to Chafarinas Islands in the Mediterranean.
#TodayinHistory in 1873, José Torres Bugallón, strategist for the #Filipino forces upon the outbreak of hostilities in #PH-US War, hero of the Battle of La Loma, said to be the "equivalent of 500 Filipino soldiers", is born in Salasa (now Bugallon), Pangasinan, #PH. (THREAD)
Raised from a relatively well-to-do family—his father hailed from Baliuag, Bulacan, while his mother was from the Gonzales family of Pangasinan, Bugallón was able to study at @LetranOfficial from 1886-89 w/ high marks, & entered @SanCarlosSem to become a priest.
In 1892, Bugallón became a scholar, studying tactics & military strategy in the Academia Militar in Toledo, Spain for 3 yrs. This would be his niche in the yrs to come. He rose to the rank of Spanish Army, from Lt. to Capt., after fighting the revolutionaries in Talisay in 1897.
#TodayinHistory in 1898, Lorenzo Tañada y Martinez, the longest-serving #Filipino senator (24 years in #SenatePH), staunch opposition leader vs. the Marcos dictatorship, & campaigner for the removal of U.S. military bases in #PH, is born in Gumaca, Quezon. (THREAD)
Born in the year when the Americans were already amassing troops in #PH, and when Filipinos were seeking international recognition for their independence, Tañada was the son of the last gobernadorcillo of Gumaca, and fourth of 9 children.
At the age of 14, Tañada became an activist, when he joined his classmates to boycott their American proctor for having required them to go to school even on weekends just to build a playground. He was an achiever. In 1924, he topped the pensionado exam, studying in the US.
#TodayinHistory in 1923, all #Filipino cabinet members including those in Council of State tender their resignation in defiance of U.S. Gov-Gen Leonard Wood, due to his reinstatement of Ray Conley in Interior Dept, a U.S. detective involved in corruption. (THREAD)

Context: With the passage of the Jones Law by U.S. Congress in 1916, the U.S. pledged that it would eventually recognize #PH independence. As such, Filipinization, the process of putting Filipinos in gov positions, was in full swing.
Wood, who was Gov-Gen of #PH under the U.S. from 1921-1927, was a former governor of the Moro Province, when the U.S. sought to quell the Moro Rebellion. Wood instigated the 1st Battle of Bud Dajo in 1906, where U.S. forces committed atrocities. tmblr.co/ZtGCUxglJHu3
Thread: Filipinos don't need the fact of the Buffalo Soldiers and David Fagan to actively fight anti-black racism. What you need is a conscience #blacklivesmatter
This history doesn't teach us about our debt to African Americans per se. It teaches us about mutual enmity—constructed by the simultaneity of Jim Crow & imperialism. It teaches us, too, how we might regard one another—mutual seeing. That's the real lesson
Black soldiers took an oath essentially to fight (and kill) Filipinos on behalf of US nationmaking & empire. If you read the Black press of the time, African Americans wanted to colonize the Philippines themselves. At best, Black Americans were ambivalent about their involvement

I noticed parang financial adviser p rin pla ako mgsalita. Bukambibig ung "mg-ipon kau para mkapag-invest." 😅

20. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

Orang Malaysia sebenarnya berpotensi besar untuk jadi "multilingual" (mahir 3-6 bahasa) malah boleh jadi "polyglot" atau "hyperglot" (mahir 10-20 bahasa).
Sebab kita dari kecil dah didedahkan kepada pelbagai bahasa dari rumpun etnik yang berbeza, otak kita lebih mudah adapt kepada bahasa asing berbanding warga negara lain. Lainlah kalau kau membesar di Canada atau Australia jadi kau hanya pandai bahasa Anglais saja.
