The California Assembly adopted House Resolution 102 on Thursday, designating October 2026 as Filipino American History Month and celebrating Filipino American contributions statewide.
Assemblymember Colosa introduced HR 102 and described the month as an opportunity to honor Filipino Americans’ history, culture, and civic contributions. "This resolution celebrates the rich culture, history, talent, and extraordinary contributions of Filipino Americans in our great state," the sponsor said when presenting the measure.
