We’re heading into the last week and winding up Filipino American History Month.

That’s right, you had a whole month of October to send me my “Happy Filipino American History Month” card.

Bet you didn’t even know it was happening.

And just as we come off the first Larry Itliong Day celebrated statewide in California Oct. 25, what would have been Itliong’s 102nd birthday.

If you don’t know who Itliong is, well, I guess that’s the point, as well.

You know Cesar Chavez, I bet. But not Itliong?

Now a typical hole in the knowledge of educated men and women.
