Philippines to America
My Lolo came to America alone, by boat, at sixteen.
He became a general surgeon, served as a doctor in Vietnam, brought his family over, and was the first president of the Filipino American Association of Greater Atlanta. His name is Dr. Manolo Apanay. I'm a quarter Filipino because of him, and proud of it.
