FANHS-MNY's annual Community Awards celebrates the accomplishments of Filipino American community and its leaders in the Metro NY area!
October is Filipino American History Month, and we’re coming together a little earlier than usual to honor the past, present, and future of our community. Filipino Americans have been shaping New York City, from their early migration and labor organizing to their contributions to the arts, activism, and advocacy that continue to inspire today.
Congratulations to this year’s awardees!
Distinguished Young Professional: Adeline Baban
Outstanding Artist: Billy Bustamante
Contributions to Excellence: Noel Gamboa; Kathryn Serrano
and Jason Hortillas (of the Future Ancestors Podcast)
Bayani (Hero): Steven Raga
Lifetime Achievement: Joey Tabaco
We will also be acknowledging three FANHS-MNY Scholars for their presentations at the FANHS National Conference this year: Bryson Wolf, Lucia Fajardo and Julien Catalon.
Come hungry, inspired, and ready to celebrate our shared history!
