Filipinos to reconnect in a Time Capsule.
San Francisco - May is Asian American Heritage Month and the Filipino community of the San Francisco Bay Area is preparing a Time Capsule to memorialize the day to day living and typical experiences of present day Filipinos. A treasure trove of Filipino challenges and achievements, the 22X24X36" vessel will leave poignant messages in a medium that evoke and vividly recall another time, the life of an old generation – in which Filipinos lived. Suitable photo voice materials and artifacts to be preserved in the capsule will be collected from the public by Filipino American students during the 103rd celebration of Philippine Independence Day at Union Square on Sunday, June 12, 2011. A donor form listing the item, the name of the contributor and reason for inclusion to the Time Capsule will also be made available online. The contents will feature the History & National advocacy for Filipino WWII veterans.
Newspaper clippings, Videos, Digital recordings and congressional transcripts together with the life story and experiences of individuals who contributed their time and resources to both causes will be preserved.
How such contents and offering would be received and by who depend on how we take care of the present so the future can remember the past, said Rodel Rodis, a prominent member of the Filipino community and a prospective contributor.
Items already received and destined to be preserved in the Time Capsule include a Manny Pacquiao bubble head, a SF Giants baseball cap with an inverted flag of the Philippines, a copy of SF Chronicle with pitcher Tim Linsecum on the front page, Short Films: A Gift of Barong by Benito Bautista, Singing Song of Leyte by Eli Africa, In Servitude with Honor and Dignity by Margaret Lacson and a video recording of the spirited debate between Filipino American Republicans and Democrats on Speak Out, a TV program by ABS CBN.
Targeted to span 100 years, the Time Capsule will be opened in commemoration of the Philippine Independence Bicentennial on June 12, 2098.
A community reception to preview the Time Capsule and examine the artifacts already accepted to be preserved is scheduled for May 1, 2011 at San Francisco’s War Memorial and Performing Arts Center.
