It is nice to see Singgalot exhibit. It was curated by Fil-Ams, from all sectors, around the US, who coordinated with then Smithsonian staffers Franklin Odo and @ Gina Inocencio. It is now housed in FANHS museum in Stockton.
We also coordinated this exhibit to be in LA, and was launched on August 2, 2008, at @Remy’s on Temple with Joselyn Geaga-Rosenthal, Prosy Delacruz @ Carol Ojeda-Kimbrough, Carina Montoya, Edgar Jonathan Geaga Yap and critical leadership of now Ambassador Mary Jo Bernardo Aragon, who all collaborated.
Special Thanks to FANHS and fundraising efforts of Prof. Dawn Bohulano Mabalon to make this museum come alive. Great to see this happen in my lifetime!

“In 2006, the Smithsonian Filipino American Centennial Commemoration marked 100 years of Filipino migration to the United States with insightful exhibitions, special programs, and an extensive curriculum guide. Singgalot celebrates Filipino Americans as they share their struggles, challenges, and achievements with the rest of the nation.
This exhibition toured from 2008-2012.”
