The Filipino Channel: AAPIs for Obama Party with Kelly Hu

Posted by Angelica Jongco

January 29, 2008 - San Francisco

Here’s a video clip of AAPIs in San Francisco celebrating our support for Obama from Balitang America, The Filipino Channel’s nightly news program, with viewers in the U.S and the Philippines. 

The story begins at 00:40 sec. and includes soundbites with pinay San Francisco school board member Hydra Mendoza, actor Kelly Hu, and community organizer Dexter Ligot.  You can really get a sense of the energy in the room–and who’s that lively woman leading the Fired Up cheer?

Balitang America’s youtube site has ongoing Fil-Vote 2008 election coverage, including SuperTuesday coverage featuring some Fil-Am supporters for Barack Obama in Illinois, including Aurora Austriaco, who ran for the State House last fall in the 65th District.
