Filipino Event in Temple St., Los Angeles

August 1, 2009.

I went to Historic Filipinotown celebration in Temple St., Los Angeles and took part on the event. At the side of the street are booths and the stage was set up for performers and contestants. Afficionados and participants gathered as early as 7 a.m. to engage in the fun run. Joining the said event was the superstar Nora Aunor. The Historic Filipinotown is a newly created district of the City of Los Angeles, that makes up the southern portion of Echo Park, Los Angeles, California. It was declared Historic Filipinotown because it was one of the few areas where Filipinos first settled during the early part of the 20th century.
