Congrats to Bebot, Patrico Ginelsa & the Black Eyed Peas
Congrats to all… the California Preservation Foundation has decided to honor the efforts of the Black Eyed Peas, the Little Manila Foundation and Patricio Ginelsa for bringing attention to the history of Little Manila in Stockton, CA. The video for the song, Bebot, directed by Patricio Ginelsa, takes place in the Rizal Social Club, a building that the Little Manila Foundation is hoping to preserve. Between the 1920s and 1960s, Stockton was home to the largest Filipino community in the country. Wow.
Check out the video here.

Interview with Patricio Ginelsa, Jr. [17:36m]: 
Patricio Ginelsa, a filmmaker from Los Angeles, CA, was in Boston recently to give a talk at Boston College. He was kind enough to sit down with our own Giles Li and chat about his past and future projects.
Ginelsa is originally from Daly City, CA, where he started making video movies with his neighborhood at the age of 12. It was John Singleton’s 1992 film “Boyz N The Hood” that inspired Patricio to pursue a career in film at the University of Southern California where he graduated with a BA in cinema production. During college, Patricio worked part-time as a segment writer for an American-based Filipino show called “Pinoy Pa Rin” interviewing Filipino community leaders and celebrities.
