Thank you for sharing your story, Fred! 🇵🇭 #fahm“My extensive work in the #FilAm community led me to help establish the Mabuhay Credit Union, which is among the very first full-service financial institutions serving our kababayans here in southern California and beyond. By profession, I serve Filipino Americans and the greater community by catering to their financial services needs and by helping improve their financial literacy skills.

As a Public Relations Commissioner for the City of Carson and as a member of the National Federation of Filipino American Associations (NAFFAA), I have been heavily involved with the recent efforts to get our community counted during the 2020 Census, and to encourage voting during the upcoming local and national elections. I am also blessed to have been able to leverage my various Filipino networks to help honor and feed our frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. In doing so, we were able to connect with the medical staff at Harbor UCLA Medical Center, medical frontline workers at the City of Carson Community Center, as well as first responders from eight different fire stations throughout the South Bay, Los Angeles area, and provide them with delicious Filipino food. I also assisted the Filipino Young Leaders Program (FYLPRO) COVID-19 Task Force in creating the Caretaker Project, which just launched the Tayo Help Desk to aid our kababayans that have been hardest hit by the pandemic here in LA.

My advice for our Filipino and Filipino American community during these challenging times is to focus on what is important to us, and to always keep the faith despite our difficulties. While we all need to do our part to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe during this global pandemic, we can rest assured that God will never abandon us, even in the midst of such trials and tribulations. Let us always remember that “God is good, all the time!”

I am Frederick Alain Docdocil, a community leader in Carson, CA. I was born and raised in Cagayan de Oro City, and I immigrated to the USA in 1997 when I was 18. While I have now lived here in the U.S. longer than I did in the motherland, I still very much consider myself to be a Filipino. This is #MyFilAmStory.”

To celebrate Filipino American History Month this October, we are sharing the stories of Filipino Americans here and around the world who are responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. ... See MoreSee Less
