Starting in the late 1980s, waves of immigrants from Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China and India changed the ethos of this city forever. Our neighbourhoods, our skyline, the food on our collective tables, the languages on our streets, the festivals in our malls, our families and, really, how we see ourselves, all transformed.

Now, our largest source of newcomers is the Philippines, a tiny smattering of islands in Southeast Asia.

At the mom-and-pop level, you can see this dramatic change.

Take Park Village off No. 3 Road in Richmond, for example. It's your basic Asian strip mall, born during the heyday of Hong Kong migration to Vancouver. It's still home to a core group of small Chinese businesses: Great One Supermarket, Tai Hing Congee and Noodle House and, in the corner, Happy Date Restaurant, a cheap-and-cheerful Hong Kong-style diner. But the new kids on the block are Manila Express and Cargo and Ailing Mary Filipino Restaurant and Bakery.

Inside Great One Supermarket itself, there's a resident Chinese herbalist and most of the signs advertising the weekly specials are written in Chinese.

However, the most dynamic aisles, the ones that have recently changed and grown the most, are the two dedicated to a host of Filipino sauces, spices, cake mixes, baked goods and frozen packages of all sorts, from stuffed monkfish to sweet and hot longaniza sausages.

This shift is due, in part, to the way Canada has systematically changed the way it attracts newcomers. Instead of focusing solely on immigrants with high levels of education or money to invest, Ottawa and the provinces are now seeking workers with specific skills. Filipinos are stepping up to fill the demand. They have been coming to Canada via an array of newfangled federal and provincial programs.

Past waves of Filipino migration to Canada were smaller and the groups less diverse.

In the 1960s and 1970s, there was a compact set of mostly professionals, many of them fleeing martial law under the Marcos regime.

In the 1990s, Ottawa's Live-In Caregiver program drew mostly women, who typically arrived on their own for jobs as domestic caregivers for children, the elderly and disabled.

This Filipino influx is intimately connected to mainstream Canadians.

If you pick up furniture in a warehouse, grab coffee, check into a hotel, call the nanny, do renos, get an X-ray, sit on clean stadium seats, need power restored in a snowstorm or seek help for a payroll problem, you have likely met a few of these newcomers.

In total, there are about 500,000 Filipinos in Canada and more than 100,000 in B.C. As this community grows, it is becoming part of the mainstream fabric. Just as Lunar New Year and Vaisakhi are celebrated as Vancouver events, this year, for the first time, city hall has given a green light to Pinoy Fiesta 2010, a Filipino street parade, to happen along Main Street in August.

Starting today, The Vancouver Sun looks at the Filipino diaspora in B.C.

I like Filipinos. They are nice, loving people. By the way, I have never eaten Filipino food before. Where's a good place to get Filipino food?

[iwantaskyline]

I hate their accents. I don't why but it bothers me more then any other accent.

[m!chael]

Considering that Philippine people are the best integrated immigrants in canadian society in terms of how fast they find jobs and maintain them, this is excellent news.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Every single Filipino that I've actually known whether it be a friend, classmate, or co-worker, has always been exceptionally nice. Of course, this doesn't mean other races aren't like that. Just stating my observation.

great people, i was once invited to a house party and let me tell you they love food, music, and singing. i felt i have gain 50lbs after haha

food is great i love it. so far the ratio of cute/pretty/hot flip girls around vancouver without attitude is 2 out of 50.

[Jegz]

cool news

[Noir]

flips are pretty dirty

Yet they have the cleanest houses. Their couches and remotes are always wrapped in plastic; and all table tops, big or small have table cloths of some sort.

Off-topic and really disrespectful but:

I wouldn't. Been there, done that, never will go back to it again. Too much baggage. Sure they're fun at the beginning but they're hella clingy. Majority of them are of conservative mind IMO. (even the ones who pretend they're party girls).

Every single Filipino that I've actually known whether it be a friend, classmate, or co-worker, has always been exceptionally nice. Of course, this doesn't mean other races aren't like that. Just stating my observation.

That's most likely because Filipino's are hella religious by culture. Non-westernized Filipino's are either born into Catholicism or Christianity.

filipino style spaghetti is fucken B-O-M-B

I don't have it very often, but it seems to have more spice to it than most Italian sauces. It's a really good kind of kick added to the taste though. Del Monte is what my mom usually uses, I THINK they sell it at Aling Mary's.

Don't mean to be disrespectful or anything but they are the most hardworking bunch from personal experience. Of all the diff race of housekeepers we went thru, the flips were the ones that woke up the earliest, and don't whine if you give them more stuff to do.

Very true. Im filipino myself and playing against schools full of them is annoying like St.Pats or Gladstone, they complain to the refs for fouls just because I play hard defense. It's also true many of them do not know any technical skills because the lack of joining or playing for a select team/regional team/ provincial team.

If you come over to a filipino's home, their mom will insist you eat as much as you want though.

[sas]

Isn't the majority of revscene either chinese, korean, filipino or some other asian? I don't get the racist comments. But, in all honesty, some of my asian friends seem to hate on flips and other south east asian countries. Wonder why this is.

The only annoying filipinos are the old ladies that work at Wendys screwing up my order. But for the most part, I find they are quite friendly and actually learn English when they come to Canada. You can approach them and actually talk in English. Whereas, chinese, koreans seem to not accept anything Canadian and will stick to their kind.

The part about them being greasy doesn't make sense to me either- if anything its the crazy chinese guys at SFU with dragonball hair. That shit looks greasy.

Yea, I get a free lunch every other week at my friends place. He's my one filipino friend and is one of the best b'ballers I know, but even he avoids playing with flips whenever posible. A lot of people don't have technical skills, but they (white, chinese, blacks) don't hack or reach in every other play, or call foul when their follow through hits your finger tips.. . . or call a foul like 5 seconds after their shot. . . after they see that they miss their open layup. . . it can get really iritating/annoying. I don't understand because I've probably played with 30 or so different filipino guys and I'd say 2/30 play honourably.

Yea I played at gladstone. . . . I'm so embarassed. . . worst ever!

But, in all honesty, some of my asian friends seem to hate on flips and other south east asian countries. Wonder why this is.

I'll try to chime in here.

Some East Asians (Chinese, Korean, Japanese) believe that South East Asians (Vietnamese, Malaysian, Indonesian, Filipino, Burmese, Cambodians, Laotians etc) are "dirty" because of their dark skin color (white is right in Asia). and also the "dirty" implies that their women are very easy and are cheap prostitutes.

Another thing... is that most south east asian country's infrastractures is not as advanced east asia, so they are seen as backwards people.

Also some east asians don't like the sound of tagalog or the filipino accent when comparing it to the sound of their own language or whatever.

In Asia, especially east asia, its very common for people have live in maids and quite a huge portion of these maids or nannies are filipinos, and they don't get paid very much to cook and clean.

don't shoot the messenger.
