Rex NavaretteWords by Edward J. Mallillin

You might say he's the comedian for us.

Press Release from Kabalikat Society

In today’s modern Pilipino-American household, there are very few common interests that both young Pilipino-Americans and elder-generation Pilipino Americans can relate to.  Aside from culture and last name, there are very few similarities between these generations.  In Chino Hills, CA, a suburb about 40 miles east from Los Angeles, a young Pilipino-American grass-roots organization is aspiring to change this phenomenon and bring young and elder generations together in order to “bridge the generational gap” between Pil-Ams in their local and surrounding neighborhoods.
