Origins And Family This is how my family ended up in Hawaii Dads Side Phillpines/Hawaii I dont know as much about my dads side as my moms but heres what I do know. Alejandro and Pebenito Planas were the first people from the Philippines on my Fathers side and they moved for the same reason. They moved with 4 of my grandmas olders siblings and my grandmother Josephine Stone was the first child they hadd in america. I never met my grandfather on my dads side His name was John Stone and he served in the miltary. He died when my dad was just 5 years old. In Hawaii they had 6 and my dad was the youngest. Moms Side Philipines My Great Grandpa was my first relative on my moms side in Hawwaii. He lived on Kauai to work in the plantations but later moved back to the Phillipines. Then My Grandfather Ralph Sagisi came in 1962. He later went home and married my grandmother Edith Maddagan, shortly moving back to Hawaii in 1967 for a better life. Then my Grandmother recieved her citizenship which allowed her entire family to move to America, without my grandmother my family would not be here in america because she was the one who brought them here. So she is one of the most respected people in my Family. Cultural Values I really only celebrate certain parts of my culture. They are Filipino and Hawaiian. They are most celebrated within my family and I am glad about it. Filipino Filipino Culture I mainly celebrate my culutre through food, but I live by customs in this community. The Filipino people cherish their family and how important each person in this family is to each other.

I celebrate my culture through these values. Living My Life, Bound By Expectations I think this suits me as a person because my parents have always wanted me to be the best at everything I did.
