Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the contributions and achievements of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) to the United States.

AAPI people are a diverse group, with over 50 different ethnic groups represented in the United States. They come from all over Asia and the Pacific Islands, and they speak a variety of languages. Despite their diversity, AAPI people share a common history of immigration and struggle.

The first Asian Americans arrived in the United States in the 17th century. They were mostly Chinese laborers who came to work on the railroads and in the mines. In the 19th century, more Asian immigrants arrived, including Japanese, Koreans, Filipinos, and South Asians. These immigrants faced discrimination and prejudice, but they persevered and made significant contributions to American society.

AAPI people have made their mark in all areas of American life. They are entrepreneurs, artists, scientists, athletes, and politicians. They have served in the military and fought for civil rights. They have made important contributions to American culture and society.

Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month is a time to celebrate the achievements of AAPI people and to learn more about their history and culture. It is also a time to reflect on the challenges that AAPI people have faced and to continue to fight for equality and justice.

News Around The World Looks Bad For Emgoldex

Many news outlets are reporting the ponzi scheme nature of Emgoldex. Many Filipino nationals and OFWs are falling victim to Emgoldex’s claims of fast investment returns.

Ethan Vanderbilt, a well respected scam buster has posted an article detailing the issues that have come to light in recent months regarding the Emgoldex scam.

While the initial investors may receive unbelievable returns, they are encouraged to get “downline” investors to join the network. Eventually, this pyramid will collapse and those just getting in which will be the majority of investors, will lose some if not all of their investment.

Learn more about high yield investment programs and ponzi schemes at Wikipedia.

Eating The Filipino Way

My asawa (wife) loves crabs. Of course, I think this means we’re going to Red Lobster for Crabfest, or The Boiling Crab for a food feast. No, this means a trip to the asian market for live blue crabs. Then I came across this video, and it was all explained to me quite well.
