Twenty-three percent of that are of Chinese ancestry; 20% are Filipino; 12% are Asian Indian; and Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese each share about 10%. We want to be able to tell our friends and fellow shipmates that, "Our history is no mystery." Indeed, as Filipino Americans, we need to tell our story and when our story began. Unknown to many people, Filipino American history began on October 18, 1587. Filipinos were the first Asians to cross the Pacific Ocean as early as 1587, fifty years before the first English settlement of Jamestown was established. From 1565 to 1815, during the Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade, Filipinos were forced to work as sailors and navigators on board Spanish Galleons. They arrived in as Morro Bay, California. A landing party consisting of Filipino seamen, namely "Luzon Indios ("Luzon Indians"), were sent to the California shore to claim the land for the Spanish king. In 1763, Filipinos made their first permanent settlement in the bayous and marshes of Louisiana. As sailors and navigators on board Spanish galleons, Filipinos -- also known as "Manilamen" or Spanish-speaking Filipinos -- jumped ship to escape the brutality of their Spanish masters. They built houses on stilts along the gulf ports of New Orleans and were the first in the United States to introduce the sun-drying process of shrimp. In 1781, Antonio Miranda Rodriguez Poblador, a Filipino, along with 44 other individuals was sent by the Spanish government from Mexico to establish what is now known as the city of Los Angeles." below is the link for entire article. http://www.csuchico.edu/ncpaso/filipino.htm back to researching..

It is a very long list. The list of those that trained for years under Angel is far shorter, but apparently something like 65 or 70 people were given an advanced certificate by Angel. > ps is there a connection with Serrada in the Phillipines still, or is it > entirely North American? Angel's Serrada was basically his creation after he moved to the US. And it changed over time (to a shorter stick, etc) as he grew older, weaker and more ill. I once asked Cacoy about short stick styles in the RP. He said that he had neither come across nor heard of any. But no doubt other "serrada" styles exist in the RP as short range styles using a regular length stick.
