Our National Chair and President Flores never fails to represent wherever he is in the world. Thank you so much for this gracious meet and exchange of ideas, Am...bassador Quintana and Consul General Cortes! Brendan G Flores: I was able to squeeze in a few meetings today! Thanks to both the Philippine Consulate General in Dubai, Paul Cortes, and H.E. Hjayceelen Quintana, Philippine Ambassador to the U.A.E, for making some time to connect. Learned so much about the Filipino Diaspora in the Middle East. The Filipino community in the UAE is continuing to grow with over 700,000 people. Dubai is home to the largest population of Filipinos in the UAE and makes up over 20% of the total population in Dubai. Looking forward to speaking with several community leaders in the next few days #philippineconsulategeneraldubai #philippineambassadoruae #partnership #globalcitizen #filipinocommunity #collaboration #globalfilipino #filipino #filipinoindubai #dubai #abudhabi #pinoy #filam @naffaa.national @crivera215 Philippine Consulate General in Dubai

In the U.S. Coast Guard, Ramon Burdeos worked as a steward for 10 years, stationed in multiple sites across the country. During the Vietnam War, he was statione...d in the Pacific. After 10 years, he became a U.S. citizen virtually overnight under Section 329a policy set by the U.S. government, declaring that all aliens serving in the armed forces during World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, or in any other period of military hostility are now entitled to be naturalized as U.S. citizens. After his service, Burdeos graduated with a Bachelor of Sciences in Medical Administration at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston under the G.I. Bill. In 1989, he became employed at St. Mary’s Hospital in Galveston, Texas as a hospital manager. In 1994, Burdeos started a literary career publishing novels on the historical experiences of Filipino-Americans. One book, The Steward and the Captain’s Daughter, describes his real-life experiences caught in an interracial relationship with a Caucasian woman who was the daughter of the Captain he served. Fired and humiliated, Burdeos sought to capture the injustices he experienced as a ‘colored’ Filipino who could only work in menial positions in the Coast Guard due to his race.
