“Identification with our nation’s history will foster assimilation and participation in common goals that promote good citizenship and civic involvement”

This is a genealogical research of Pilipino migration to Hawaii. This website honors the 2006 Centennial celebration of the first fifteen Pilipino sakadas (contract farm workers) & their arrival at Honolulu harbor on December 20, 1906. My goal is to shine a light on the struggles & achievements of all Pilipinos who migrated to Hawaii before & after the original fifteen sakadas. I also dedicate this website to my children and their extensive paternal sakada ohana.

Additionally, this website honors the military services of almost four thousand Pilipinos who served during WW1

   

The Song of the Traveller 

 

Following anxiously treacherous fortune,

Fortune which even as he grasp at it flees;

Vain though the hopes that his yearning is seeking,

Yet does the pilgrim embark on the seas!

 

Ever impelled by the invincible power,

Destined to roam from the East to the West ;

Oft he remembers the faces of loved ones,

Dreams of the day when he, too, was at rest.

 

Chance may assign him a tomb on the desert,

Grant him a final asylum of peace;

Soon by the world and his country forgotten,

God rest his soul when his wandering cease!

                             

                               Dr. Jose Rizal

                             (translated from Spanish by:

                               Arthur P. Ferguson)

Go! To the field to till the land,
For the labor of man sustains
Fam'ly, home and Motherland.
Hard the land may turn to be,
Scorching the rays of the sun above...
For the country, wife and children
All will be easy to our love.
 
                           Dr. Jose Rizal        

in the long run we are pooling our knowledge together for a better understanding of man and his world; not to deify man, but to make him human, that we may see our faults and virtues in him. That is the responsibility of literature and the history of culture.
 
                         Carlos Bulosan
