The University of Toledo will be celebrating Filipino American Heritage Month this October highlighting the importance of language, food and dance in Filipino American culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud of my heritage and grateful to have the UToledo Filipino American Association (UTFAA) on campus. They have helped me connect to my Filipino heritage in ways I would have never imagined before attending the University,\u201d said Jillian Micua, president of the Filipino American Association. \u201cEvery Filipino American History Month I like to reflect on my own family\u2019s story. My identity as a Filipino American and the culture I was raised in have deeply shaped my character and worldview.\u201d<\/p>\n
