00:10:00.800 --> 00:10:02.868
GROWING MORE THAN CROPS. IT IS

00:10:02.935 --> 00:10:04.270

00:10:04.337 --> 00:10:05.738

MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT FOR

00:10:53.352 --> 00:10:55.054
STUDENTS. THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE

00:10:55.121 --> 00:10:57.623
THAT I HEAR FROM, HIGH SCHOOL

00:10:57.690 --> 00:10:59.158
STUDENTS IS THE NEED FOR MENTAL

00:10:59.225 --> 00:11:02.328
HEALTH SERVICES. AND THEY HAVE

00:11:02.395 --> 00:11:03.696
BEEN WORKING AS HIGH SCHOOL

00:11:03.763 --> 00:11:05.464
STUDENTS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE

00:11:05.531 --> 00:11:07.666
SOLUTION IS, COMPETING AGAINST

00:11:07.733 --> 00:11:09.101
SOME OF THE NATION'S TOP

00:11:09.168 --> 00:11:11.637
STUDENT ENGINEERING TEAMS. THEY

00:11:11.704 --> 00:11:13.072
DEMONSTRATED BOTH TECHNICAL

00:11:13.139 --> 00:11:14.140
EXCELLENCE AND A DEEP

00:11:14.206 --> 00:11:15.574
COMMITMENT TO SERVING OTHERS.

00:11:15.641 --> 00:11:17.410
WHAT MAKES THIS ACHIEVEMENT SO

00:11:17.476 --> 00:11:18.744
INSPIRING IS THAT THEY LOOKED

00:11:18.811 --> 00:11:20.246
BEYOND THE CHALLENGE, AND THEY

00:11:20.312 --> 00:11:22.014
FOCUSED ON A SOLUTION. THEY

00:11:22.081 --> 00:11:24.216
USED ENGINEERING, TECHNOLOGY,

00:11:24.283 --> 00:11:26.385
AND COMPASSION TO CREATE

00:11:26.452 --> 00:11:27.219
SOMETHING THAT COULD IMPROVE

00:11:27.286 --> 00:11:29.255
THE LIVES OF YOUNG PEOPLE.

00:11:29.321 --> 00:11:31.090
THEIR SUCCESS REMINDS US THAT

00:11:31.157 --> 00:11:32.825
EVERY COMMUNITY IS FILLED WITH

00:11:32.892 --> 00:11:34.693

THEY NEED IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO

00:11:36.896 --> 00:11:39.365
SHOW THE WORLD WHAT THEY CAN DO.

00:11:39.432 --> 00:11:40.766
PROGRAMS LIKE MESA AND THE

00:11:40.833 --> 00:11:42.568
FRESNO STATE MESA CENTER

00:11:42.635 --> 00:11:44.437
PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH

00:11:44.503 --> 00:11:45.805
MENTORSHIP, HANDS ON LEARNING,

00:11:45.871 --> 00:11:47.606

00:11:47.673 --> 00:11:49.775
CURIOSITY INTO CONFIDENCE AND

IDEAS ARE TAKING ROOT IN OUR

00:11:57.349 --> 00:11:59.518
RURAL COMMUNITIES. THEY HAVE

00:11:59.585 --> 00:12:02.021

ALLOWING ME THIS TIME. THIS IS

00:14:48.754 --> 00:14:51.223
A VERY TOUCHING AND MEANINGFUL

00:14:51.290 --> 00:14:52.658
TIME FOR ME. AS YOU ALL

00:14:52.725 --> 00:14:54.793
REMEMBER, WHEN I LOST MY

00:14:54.860 --> 00:14:56.562
GRANDDAUGHTER TO A DRUNK DRIVER.

00:14:56.629 --> 00:14:58.764
AND I REMEMBER STANDING OVER

00:14:58.831 --> 00:15:00.566
THERE AND, AND SHARING THAT

00:15:00.633 --> 00:15:02.768
LOSS WITH YOU. AND I BELIEVE

00:15:02.835 --> 00:15:05.638
YOU ALL CRIED WITH ME SOMEWHAT,

00:15:05.704 --> 00:15:07.373
AND YOU FELT THE PAIN THAT I

00:15:07.439 --> 00:15:09.608
FELT. MY FAMILY OR THE PAIN

00:15:09.675 --> 00:15:12.111
GOES ON. IT WILL NEVER STOP.

00:15:12.177 --> 00:15:13.879
BUT THE PAIN IS NOT JUST MINE,

00:15:13.946 --> 00:15:15.314
BUT IT'S ACROSS THE STATE OF

00:15:15.381 --> 00:15:17.816
CALIFORNIA, DRUNK DRIVERS ARE

00:15:17.883 --> 00:15:19.318
KILLING OUR MOTHERS, OUR

00:15:19.385 --> 00:15:21.153
DAUGHTERS, OUR CHILDREN, OUR

00:15:21.220 --> 00:15:22.888
FATHERS, OUR LOVED ONES EVERY

00:15:22.955 --> 00:15:24.690
SINGLE DAY. AND WE'VE GOT TO

00:15:24.757 --> 00:15:26.158
GET TOUGH. AND I THINK

00:15:26.225 --> 00:15:27.960
CALIFORNIA IS DOING THIS. SO

00:15:28.027 --> 00:15:29.395
TODAY I HAVE THE

00:15:29.461 --> 00:15:30.562
REPRESENTATIVES FROM MAD WITH

00:15:30.629 --> 00:15:32.331
ME TODAY, MR. PRESIDENT, AND

00:15:32.398 --> 00:15:34.433
I'M SO PROUD TO HAVE THEM HERE.

00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:36.602
AND IT'S JUST A HANDFUL. THEY

00:15:36.669 --> 00:15:38.404
WERE A GROUP OVER AT THE

00:15:38.470 --> 00:15:39.571
ASSEMBLY DOING EXACTLY WHAT

00:15:39.638 --> 00:15:41.974
WE'RE DOING. SO TODAY I RISE TO

00:15:42.041 --> 00:15:44.109
INTRODUCE A NUMBER OF FAMILIES

00:15:44.176 --> 00:15:46.245
THAT HAVE LOST LOVED ONES THAT

00:15:46.312 --> 00:15:48.113
ARE HERE WITH ME TODAY, MOTHERS

00:15:48.180 --> 00:15:50.282
AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING AND THE

00:15:50.349 --> 00:15:52.384
SAFE CALIFORNIA ROADS COALITION

00:15:52.451 --> 00:15:55.254
TO ADVOCATE TO IMPROVE ROAD

00:15:55.321 --> 00:15:57.056
SAFETY AND AWARENESS WHEN IT

00:15:57.122 --> 00:15:59.224
COMES TO DRUNK DRIVING, THE

00:15:59.291 --> 00:16:01.026
FAMILIES WITH US TODAY HAVE

00:16:01.093 --> 00:16:03.228
TRANSFORMED UNIMAGINABLE LOSS

00:16:03.295 --> 00:16:05.731
INTO ADVOCACY, GETTING THE WORD

00:16:05.798 --> 00:16:07.166
OUT, TALKING IN THEIR

00:16:07.232 --> 00:16:09.034
COMMUNITIES, KNOCKING ON DOORS,

00:16:09.101 --> 00:16:10.436
GETTING ON THE RADIO, ON

00:16:10.502 --> 00:16:12.604
TELEVISION, WHATEVER TO BRING

00:16:12.671 --> 00:16:13.672
AWARENESS TO THIS TERRIBLE,

00:16:13.739 --> 00:16:15.808
TERRIBLE TRAGEDY THAT WE FACE

00:16:15.874 --> 00:16:18.677
EVERY HOLIDAY. GRADUATIONS,

00:16:18.744 --> 00:16:20.813
CHRISTMAS. I MENTIONED MY

00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:21.914
GRANDDAUGHTER KILLED AT

00:16:21.980 --> 00:16:24.783
CHRISTMAS. SO THEIR EXPERIENCE

00:16:24.850 --> 00:16:28.020
IS NOT LIKE NO OTHERS. EVERY

00:16:28.087 --> 00:16:30.322
SINGLE DAY. THEIR LOSS IS WHEN

00:16:30.389 --> 00:16:32.024
THEY THINK ABOUT THEIR LOVED

00:16:32.091 --> 00:16:34.193
ONES, BIRTHDAY PARTIES,

00:16:34.259 --> 00:16:35.260
CHRISTMAS, NEW YEAR'S, WHATEVER

00:16:35.327 --> 00:16:37.396
IT IS. BUT THEY HAVE TO STAND

00:16:37.463 --> 00:16:39.932
UP. AND THAT'S WHAT MADD DOES.

00:16:39.998 --> 00:16:41.100
THEY'RE CALLING OUT TO ALL OF

00:16:41.166 --> 00:16:43.535
US TO SHARE IN THEIR GRIEF, BUT

00:16:43.602 --> 00:16:44.837
ALSO SHARING THE EXPERIENCE

00:16:44.903 --> 00:16:46.739
THEY'RE TRYING TO GIVE US. SO

00:16:46.805 --> 00:16:49.641
WITH ME TODAY, I HAVE KATHLEEN

00:16:49.708 --> 00:16:52.177

BUT THEY HAD FOUND THEMSELVES

01:21:28.483 --> 01:21:30.352

OFTEN UNJUST CONDITIONS. HE

01:25:35.263 --> 01:25:36.264
UNDERSTOOD THAT DIGNITY ON THE

01:25:36.331 --> 01:25:37.699
JOB, FAIR WAGES AND SAFE

01:25:37.765 --> 01:25:39.467
WORKING CONDITIONS WERE NOT

01:25:39.534 --> 01:25:40.668
PRIVILEGES, BUT RIGHTS THAT

01:25:40.735 --> 01:25:42.370
WERE WORTH FIGHTING FOR, AND

01:25:42.437 --> 01:25:44.072
HIS LEADERSHIP WAS INSTRUMENTAL

01:25:44.138 --> 01:25:46.007
IN THE SUCCESSFUL DELANO GRAPE

01:25:46.074 --> 01:25:47.442
STRIKE AND THE FOUNDING OF THE

ROOTED IN SOLIDARITY ACROSS

THAT COALITION TRANSFORMED NOT

01:26:04.025 --> 01:26:05.393
JUST THE LABOR MOVEMENT, BUT

01:26:05.460 --> 01:26:07.562

IN EVERY PLACE WHERE JUSTICE IS

01:27:07.789 --> 01:27:09.490

ORGANIZER, STRATEGIST, AND

01:27:10.992 --> 01:27:12.594
CHAMPION OF THE MOST VULNERABLE

LED FILIPINO FARMWORKERS IN THE

01:27:25.773 --> 01:27:27.108
AGRICULTURAL WORKERS ORGANIZING

01:27:27.175 --> 01:27:28.843
COMMITTEE TO WALK OUT OF THE

GREAT FIELDS OF DELANO IN SPITE

01:27:31.879 --> 01:27:34.716
IN SPITE OF THE TREMENDOUS

01:27:34.782 --> 01:27:36.117
INTIMIDATION THAT THEY FACED,

01:27:36.184 --> 01:27:38.953
THEY DEMANDED A $1.40 AN HOUR.

01:27:39.020 --> 01:27:41.856
BUT THEY DESERVED BASIC DIGNITY.

01:27:41.923 --> 01:27:44.359
HE HELPED LAUNCH THE DELANO

01:27:44.425 --> 01:27:47.662
GRAPE STRIKE, A MOVEMENT THAT

01:27:47.729 --> 01:27:49.097
TRANSFORMED LABOR RIGHTS FOR

01:27:49.163 --> 01:27:50.632
EVERYONE IN THIS COUNTRY. BUT

01:27:50.698 --> 01:27:53.034
LET'S BE CLEAR FILIPINO

01:27:53.101 --> 01:27:54.502
FARMWORKERS DIDN'T JUST

01:27:54.569 --> 01:27:55.903
PARTICIPATE IN THE MOVEMENT.

01:27:55.970 --> 01:27:58.039
THEY STARTED IT. THEY STARTED

01:27:58.106 --> 01:28:00.341
IT. LARRY ITLIONG AND HIS

01:28:00.408 --> 01:28:02.410
FELLOW MANONGS, MANY OF WHOM

01:28:02.477 --> 01:28:04.879
COULDN'T BECOME CITIZENS, THEY

01:28:04.946 --> 01:28:06.347
COULDN'T OWN LAND. THEY

01:28:06.414 --> 01:28:08.182
COULDN'T EVEN MARRY WHO THEY

01:28:08.249 --> 01:28:10.318
LOVED BECAUSE OF THE RACIST

01:28:10.385 --> 01:28:13.588
LAWS. THESE MEN STOOD UP ANYWAY.

01:28:13.655 --> 01:28:15.723
THEY FOUGHT ANYWAY, AND THEY

01:28:15.790 --> 01:28:18.593
WON. MEXICAN FARMWORKERS JOINED

01:28:18.660 --> 01:28:19.427
THEM AND THE UNITED FARM

01:28:19.494 --> 01:28:21.362
WORKERS AND CREATED A MORE

POWERFUL AND MORE EFFECTIVE

01:28:23.898 --> 01:28:25.700
MOVEMENT. TODAY, AS WE SEE

01:28:25.767 --> 01:28:27.835
WORKERS ACROSS MANY INDUSTRIES

01:28:27.902 --> 01:28:30.004
STILL FIGHTING FOR WORKING

01:28:30.071 --> 01:28:31.806
CONDITIONS, SAFE CONDITIONS,

01:28:31.873 --> 01:28:34.676
RESPECT. HIS LEGACY REMINDS US

01:28:34.742 --> 01:28:36.878
THAT OUR COMMUNITY STANDS ON

01:28:36.944 --> 01:28:39.013
THE SHOULDERS OF ORGANIZERS

01:28:39.080 --> 01:28:41.516
LIKE LARRY ITLIONG MEMBERS.

01:28:41.582 --> 01:28:44.052
LET'S NOT JUST REMEMBER HIM.

01:28:44.118 --> 01:28:46.320
LET'S BE LIKE HIM. LET'S STAND

01:28:46.387 --> 01:28:48.756
WITH WORKERS. LET'S CONTINUE TO

01:28:48.823 --> 01:28:50.858
BUILD THE WORLD HE FOUGHT FOR.

01:28:50.925 --> 01:28:52.694
AND LET ME END WITH SOMETHING

01:28:52.760 --> 01:28:54.829
THAT THE FARMWORKERS AND THE

01:28:54.896 --> 01:28:56.330
FARMWORKERS MOVEMENT TAUGHT US.

01:28:56.397 --> 01:28:59.167
THE UNITY CLAP. DURING THE

01:28:59.233 --> 01:29:00.935
GRAPE STRIKE, WORKERS WOULD

01:29:01.002 --> 01:29:03.104
CLAP TOGETHER IN RHYTHM TO SHOW

01:29:03.171 --> 01:29:04.939
THEIR SOLIDARITY AND THEIR

01:29:05.006 --> 01:29:06.774
STRENGTH WITH EACH OTHER. IT'S

01:29:06.841 --> 01:29:08.943
A SIMPLE ACT, BUT IT REMINDS US

01:29:09.010 --> 01:29:11.546
THAT WHEN WE MOVE TOGETHER, WE

INDUSTRIES BUILT ON

01:30:22.016 --> 01:30:24.118
EXPLOITATION, WORKING IN THE

01:30:24.185 --> 01:30:26.354

01:30:37.165 --> 01:30:39.634
DANGEROUS CONDITIONS,

01:30:39.700 --> 01:30:40.735
DISCRIMINATION AND EXCLUSION

PROTECTIONS THAT OTHER WORKERS

01:30:55.516 --> 01:30:57.985
WERE TREATED AS DISPOSABLE,

01:30:58.052 --> 01:30:59.320

EXPLOITATIVE MIGRANT LABOR

01:31:05.226 --> 01:31:06.661
SYSTEMS, TOO MANY WORKERS OF

01:31:06.727 --> 01:31:08.362

01:31:08.429 --> 01:31:10.998

TRANSFORMED LIVES AND MADE

01:31:26.848 --> 01:31:28.382
CALIFORNIA A PLACE WHERE WE

01:31:28.449 --> 01:31:29.917

01:31:39.460 --> 01:31:41.929
CRISIS OF EXPLOITATION OF ALL

01:31:41.996 --> 01:31:44.398

01:31:44.465 --> 01:31:47.468
OF THAT LIMITS THE OPPORTUNITY

01:31:47.535 --> 01:31:50.204
FOR MOST WORKERS CAN BE

01:31:50.271 --> 01:31:51.606
RESOLVED. AND IT'S THIS DAY.

PEOPLES IN THE STATE OF

01:34:45.880 --> 01:34:47.048
CALIFORNIA. THEY DIDN'T COME

01:34:47.114 --> 01:34:48.849
HERE ON THEIR OWN. THEY DIDN'T

01:34:48.916 --> 01:34:50.518
COME HERE OF THEIR OWN VOLITION.

01:34:50.584 --> 01:34:52.353
THEY WERE THEY WERE THE CREW

01:34:52.420 --> 01:34:54.455
FOR ONE OF THE SPANISH GALLEONS

01:34:54.522 --> 01:34:55.890
TRAVELING BETWEEN MEXICO AND

01:34:55.956 --> 01:34:57.958
MANILA, AND THEY WERE INTENDED

01:34:58.025 --> 01:34:59.994
TO GO TO ACAPULCO, ACAPULCO,

01:35:00.061 --> 01:35:01.862
AND THEY ENDED UP IN MORRO BAY.

01:35:01.929 --> 01:35:03.798
HERE IN CALIFORNIA. THEY BECAME

01:35:03.864 --> 01:35:05.666
THE FIRST TO LAND ON THE

01:35:05.733 --> 01:35:07.768
CENTRAL COAST OF CALIFORNIA

01:35:07.835 --> 01:35:09.203
BECAUSE THEIR SPANISH CAPTAIN

01:35:09.270 --> 01:35:12.506
SAID, YOU GO OUT FIRST, YOU GET

01:35:12.573 --> 01:35:14.675
OFF THE THE POPE FIRST, AND

01:35:14.742 --> 01:35:18.679
WE'LL BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU. AND,

01:35:18.746 --> 01:35:21.082
THEY WERE ALREADY CALLED THE

01:35:21.148 --> 01:35:23.984
THE INDIOS BECAUSE THE

01:35:24.051 --> 01:35:25.386
SPANIARDS HAD NAMED THEM

01:35:25.453 --> 01:35:27.188
INDIANS, WHICH WAS FITTING

01:35:27.254 --> 01:35:28.756
BECAUSE THEY ARRIVED IN THE,

01:35:28.823 --> 01:35:31.292
THE FIRST DAY. THEY. AND

01:35:31.358 --> 01:35:32.293
FINALLY, WHEN THE SPANISH GOT

01:35:32.359 --> 01:35:34.061
OFF THE SHIP, THEY BROUGHT,

01:35:34.128 --> 01:35:35.496
THEY WENT TO THE TOP OF THE

01:35:35.563 --> 01:35:37.631
PEAKS OF THE HILLS IN MORRO BAY

01:35:37.698 --> 01:35:39.834
AND SAW NO ONE. AND SO THEY

01:35:39.900 --> 01:35:41.402
PLANTED THEIR FLAG, CLAIMING,

01:35:41.469 --> 01:35:43.537
CLAIMING THIS ENTIRE LAND FOR,

01:35:43.604 --> 01:35:46.307
FOR SPAIN. BUT IT TURNS OUT THE

01:35:46.373 --> 01:35:49.877
LAND WAS NOT UNOCCUPIED. AND,

01:35:49.944 --> 01:35:53.447
AND SO THE CHUMASH TRIBE OF

01:35:53.514 --> 01:35:56.016
CALIFORNIA, CAME AND THEY MET,

01:35:56.083 --> 01:35:57.384
THEY EXCHANGED FOOD, AND THEN

01:35:57.451 --> 01:35:58.586
IT BECAME CLEAR THAT THE

01:35:58.652 --> 01:36:00.688
SPANISH INTENDED TO MAKE MORE

01:36:00.754 --> 01:36:02.189
OF THIS ACCIDENTAL VISIT THAN

01:36:02.256 --> 01:36:04.592
THERE WAS. AND THERE WAS A

01:36:04.658 --> 01:36:05.693
THERE WAS FIGHTING, THERE WAS

01:36:05.759 --> 01:36:08.262
DEATH. AND THEN THE INDIOS OF

01:36:08.329 --> 01:36:09.663
LUZON IN THE PHILIPPINES SAID,

01:36:09.730 --> 01:36:12.933
MAYBE WE SHOULD LEAVE. MAYBE

01:36:13.000 --> 01:36:14.502
UNLIKE OUR OWN, OUR OWN PLACE,

01:36:14.568 --> 01:36:16.604
OUR OWN HOME, WE SHOULD LEAVE

01:36:16.670 --> 01:36:18.839
THIS THIS PLACE FOR THE INDIANS

01:36:18.906 --> 01:36:20.841
OF CALIFORNIA. AND THAT THEY

01:36:20.908 --> 01:36:22.576
DID. AND SO THIS IS NOT ONE OF

01:36:22.643 --> 01:36:24.078
THOSE STORIES WHERE IT RESULTED

01:36:24.145 --> 01:36:26.280
IN WARS AND CONQUEST. IT

01:36:26.347 --> 01:36:28.415
RESULTED IN SIMPLY THE THE

01:36:28.482 --> 01:36:30.217
POTENTIAL COLONISTS REALIZING,

01:36:30.284 --> 01:36:33.120
THANKS TO THEIR FILIPINO CREW,

01:36:33.187 --> 01:36:34.655
THIS PLACE WAS ALREADY HOME TO

01:36:34.722 --> 01:36:37.391
A PEOPLE. SO THAT WAS 1587. IT

01:36:37.458 --> 01:36:39.593
WAS WOULD BE ANOTHER 400 YEARS

01:36:39.660 --> 01:36:41.729
TILL THE NEXT FILIPINOS CAME TO

01:36:41.795 --> 01:36:43.297
CALIFORNIA, THIS TIME INVITED

01:36:43.364 --> 01:36:44.965
BY THE NEW GOVERNMENT OF

01:36:45.032 --> 01:36:46.700
CALIFORNIA TO WORK IN THE

01:36:46.767 --> 01:36:47.801
FIELDS, TO WORK IN THE

01:36:47.868 --> 01:36:48.936
CANNERIES, TO WORK IN SO MANY

01:36:49.003 --> 01:36:50.704
OTHER PLACES. AND THEN AFTER

01:36:50.771 --> 01:36:52.239
THE UNITED STATES TOOK CONTROL

01:36:52.306 --> 01:36:56.143
OF THE PHILIPPINES, CALIFORNIA

01:36:56.210 --> 01:36:57.945
AGRICULTURALISTS REALIZED THAT

01:36:58.012 --> 01:36:59.013
FILIPINOS COULD COME TO

01:36:59.079 --> 01:37:00.080
CALIFORNIA WITHOUT BEING

01:37:00.147 --> 01:37:01.515
SUBJECT TO THE SAME IMMIGRATION

01:37:01.582 --> 01:37:03.284
QUOTAS BECAUSE THEY WERE A

01:37:03.350 --> 01:37:06.220
FILIPINO U.S. TERRITORY. AND SO

01:37:06.287 --> 01:37:07.721
THEY DID. THAT'S WHEN MY

01:37:07.788 --> 01:37:09.089
GRANDPARENTS CAME. THE MÀ

01:37:09.156 --> 01:37:11.225
GENERATION CAME IN THE TURN OF

01:37:11.292 --> 01:37:12.326
THE CENTURY THROUGH THE 20S AND

01:37:12.393 --> 01:37:15.930
THE 30S, VIRTUALLY NO WOMEN,

01:37:15.996 --> 01:37:17.731
BUT THE MEN COULD NOT DATE OR

01:37:17.798 --> 01:37:19.166
MARRY. MY PARENTS COULDN'T

01:37:21.802 --> 01:37:22.770
COUNTRY, INCLUDING CALIFORNIA,

01:37:22.836 --> 01:37:25.272
UNTIL THE 60S. AND THEY MADE

01:37:25.339 --> 01:37:27.074
THEIR HOME AND THEY MADE THEIR

01:37:27.141 --> 01:37:29.210
UNIONS AND THEY MADE COMMUNITY.

01:37:29.276 --> 01:37:31.412
AND ALL OVER CALIFORNIA, THERE

01:37:31.478 --> 01:37:33.581
WERE LITTLE MANILAS AND

01:37:33.647 --> 01:37:35.015
COMMUNITIES OF FILIPINOS, SOME

01:37:35.082 --> 01:37:36.450

CONTRIBUTING TO THEIR

01:37:44.058 --> 01:37:46.560

01:37:46.627 --> 01:37:47.595
TALKED ALREADY ABOUT THE

01:37:47.661 --> 01:37:49.029
AGRICULTURAL HISTORY OF

01:37:49.096 --> 01:37:50.464
FILIPINOS IN THIS STATE, BUT

01:37:50.531 --> 01:37:51.565
FILIPINOS HAVE BEEN A MAJOR

01:37:51.632 --> 01:37:53.367
