Pilot: 2M Filipinos at Risk, Remittances Slow, and the 1965 Delano Strike

Welcome to the first-ever episode of Filipino Diaspora Review with Lynly & Tata!

In our pilot: the Middle East conflict threatens more than 2 million Filipinos and sparks protests in Manila, remittances are headed for their weakest growth in 25 years, and good news for the 1M+ Filipinos in Saudi Arabia as Riyadh Air launches direct Riyadh-Manila flights. Plus, Filipino American history takes center stage at the Smithsonian.

Our historical lookback: September 1965 in Delano, California — when Larry Itliong and Filipino farmworkers walked off the grape vineyards and started a strike that changed U.S. labor history.
