Here is some information which may help you with your luncheon speech to the United Filipino Council of Hawaii Annual Convention on Saturday July 28 at the Naniloa Hotels Polynesian Room
The Pamantasan Report was done almost 25 years ago and since then Filipinos have moved up from the fourth to the second largest ethnic group in the State of Hawaii Yet their numbers at the four-year colleges have not significantly increased in the past 25 years Hopefully you can offer some suggestions on how the conference attendees can address this issue

FINDINGS ON IROBLEMS AND OBSTACLES FOR ffiJPINOS IN mGIIER EDUCATION
The TaskForce found that Filipino students encounter numerous and varied barriers in seeking higher education which result In their considerable underrepresentatrcn at the University especially at UH- Manoa UH-Hilo and Wesl Oahu College
Recruitment and Retention
bull A major barrier for Filipino students In entering and continuing college is the cost of higher education For various reasons a significant number of rrunonty students do not apply for or receive financial aid such as loans scholarships tuition waivers and work study grants One explanation given is that information to minority students and their parents is not disseminated in a timely and culturally appropriate manner
bull There is a lack of effective and aggressive outreach programs to Filipino high school and community college students
bull Community college students have the same academic aspeetions as four-year college students when they enter college But only a small number of community college students transfer to a four-year college The problems that obstruct the transfer process include (1) differences in the admission standards at the four- and two-year colleges and (2) inadequate coordination between the two types of colleges in academic advising counseling recruitment and orientation
bull Poor mathematics and Englishskills were identified as fundamental deficiencies at incoming Filipino freshmen as evidenced by their row SAT scores While academic support services and remedial programs are available and helpful at UH-Hilo and the community colleges such services are lacking at UH-Manoa and West Oahu College
bull Filipinos constitute less than one percent of the faculty and staff at UH-Manoa and two percent at UH-Hilo There should be more Filipinos in the University system to serve as role models and to assist Filipino students
Philippine or Allpino-Related Courses and Resources
bull With the exception ot UH-Mtinoa there is a systemwide absence of courses and acnanes related to Philippine culture history languages and the Filipino experience in Hawaii This is ironic because it is at the community colleges that the greater percentage of students of Filipino ancestry is found
bull The absence of Philippine or Filipino-related resources at the community colleges UH-Hilo and WestOahu College is indicative of the lack of commitment to offer programs for this significant minority group
bull Very little scholarly and policy-oriented research has been or is being done on Hawaii Filipinos and Hawan-Ptulippmereanons Among the many research and policy topes thai should be addressed are bilingual education crosscultu rat communication learning styles immigration policies and the state record of prOViding assistance to minorities
bull The University of Hawan will institute a two-yea r foreign language requirement of enteringstudents slarting Fall 1989 llokano and Tagalog have been included among the approved languages to satisfy this requirement However neither language is offered in the system outside of UH-Manoa This situauon very likely
contnbutes to the frequent low enrolment at upper level Phlllpplne language courses at UH-Manoa soce students from the Community COllegeS and the public schools have not had the opportunity 10 study a Philippine language as a loretgl ianguage at lower levels Consequently they enroll in other language classes when they reach UH-Manoa
bull Another prOblem identlfled regarding Philippine language courses concems the cetmcate WIthccocennaroo in IIOkano Of TagalOg offered by the Department of IndOmiddotPaclhc Languages at UH-MAnoa This program is open orty to nomatlVe speakers 01 nose languages nus exckJdes bIJnguar or native Flilpeno speakers who may not have mastery or the torma traOOg in the reading and wnting 01their language
The State Department of Education
bull The prmary problem WIth the DOE as far as FilipinoS are concerned is that whlle F lpinos constitute one of the largest etMic groups among ptbIlc school studen ts they corcose orf a minimal percentage of teachers and admin istrators Again this lack of Filipino teachers and administrators hampers the studen ts access to readily available role laquocoee or suppon while anenalng pbl ic schools
Employment of Allplnos In the Professions
bull Hawan-eoucated Filipino protessonats face the general problem of undertepresentanon in the professions such as law medicine and education
bull Philippine-educaled professiona ls face lhe problem 01passing licensure or cenmcaton examinations needed to obtain employment in their particular field Without successfully completlOQ these examinations Philippine-educated professional s are tcrced into a situation of occupational downgrading
bull In occupations which do not require passmq a licensure examination the previous training and work experience of the Phillppine-educated protessionar are oftentimes devalued by local employers part icularly when they seek their first Job in Hawafi
bull Filipino UH graduates require ca reer placement assis tance since the occupational status 01Filipinos indicates aonnooar barriers In the emp loyment arena that prevent them from co mpeting enecnvefv for POSItiOns Wrthout an aggressive advocate assisting them in reducing employment obst acles Filipinos Will always find difficulty adva nCing themselves in the socoeconormc arena despite their college degrees

bull Filipinos now second-largest racial group In Hawaii _JurI 15 2011929PMHST UpdaOCt Jutgt 1520111112 PM HST
By Ben Gutierrez - I
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Now figures from 2010 US Census show that Filipinos and part-Filipinos nowmake up the ~rgest racial group in Hawa ii
Japanese or part-Japanese were second in the 2000 Census behind whiles or Caucasians who were the largest group in 2000 and 2010
There are two reasons Ielt the Iaryesl Filipino populatioo
First immigration safd Or Amy Agbayani director of the StudentEquity Excellence and Diversity program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa -were number one in the number of immigrants coming in every year and we have been since 1965
Secondly ifs a young population and so they are havng more and more chiJdren Agbayani said Other groups such as the Japanese Americans are an older population and are therefore not havng children So you haveyoung immigrant families and young Hawait-bom families that are accounting for the increase
Those ideotrfying themselves as Filipino or part-Filipino increased
bull
bull
Avelina Dulay
24 percent from the 2000 Census
Filipino identity is stronger 80 a lot of mixed Filipinos will also identify as Filipino Agbayani said something that they would have been less likely to do in the past
The Filipino identity showed up at Maxs of Manila part of a popular Filipino restaurant chain that opened a new location In Kalihi Inside my aunt Avelina Dulay was celebrating her 89th birthday Dulay immigrated here in 1967 with her daughter Editha GOOoy who now operates a travel agency
Edithas daughter Benedith Ventura said Filipino identity wasnt as strong when she was growing up I think we tried to shy 8NiBf from being fresh off the boat- Ventura said -we just didn want to be identtfied as Filipino when we were growing up
But that is different now with her children
Benedith Venture
They go to school wearing a Filipino shirt and theyre showing their Filipinoflags on their cars so they have a stronger identity and a stronger senseof pride she said
Venturas son Trevor is going to college on the mainland with a stronger senseof cultural identity
I was broughtup to respect my cultureand to respect my elders and thatswhat 1IIe beeflliving by my whole lila he said
-As a memberof my Filipinoclub in the school I think were the second-largest club on our campus next to the Hawaii Club Trevor added
Ewn with the population gains Or Agbayani said there are still some shortfalls -such as the fad that were notdoing well and are under-represented in ~Iege at the University of Hawaii We have to make sure the public schoolsare more responsive to the children that are non-English speakersshy
There Wlll only one other change in he listof he ten largest racial groups in Hawsbull MafShallese wno didn show up In the 2000 census were the tenltHargest group in 2010 displacing Tongans to eleventh-largest

The lXVversity 01 Hawaii (UH)TaskForceon Filipinos was formally organtzed in May 1967 by VICe-Preoidenllor Academic AlIaesMtnony J Marsella froma group of rroee then fifty faculty and staff merrbers il the Universityof aawen ayetom who had fQQponQOO to tis IrMtatKn The overall respcf1S1J1Iity glv6fl to the Task Force was 0 revieW the status of Rtipinosat (he lkliversity of Hawai1 and to make recorrmendations to mease their lUTbers and iT(Jrove the acadMic success and careers of Fipilos and the quality of eWcation for all srudents at the Uliversity Uriversrty President Albert SmOne added thai the edlxational attarvnent of llinOOty ShKSenIs is vital to the economic and social weHJK1g of Hawaiiand the nationMofaJ concern can Jegllrnately be joned with selHntereSl 10 dlctale the high prlonty tIiS issue deserves
The inrnediatereason for convening the Task Force was to address the Iong-standong need of the Aipino conmrity to have greaterand more eltptable access to higher eckJCation il the StateThs is a priority interest of Fifipinos because of their substantiallJlderrepresentatJon 11 tvgher eweaUon a SItuation that is related to their low socioeconomic status in Hawaii SIlce theI arrivalover eighty years ago as plantation laborers RipOOs have not been able 10 benefit adeQuatety from the educational system They have remained one of the most socioeltorlOmicly and pokbcally disadvantaged ettnc grQl4gtS me State of Hawari
ThisReport is entit1ed Pamantasan the PiIipino word tor Urlversity1l was based largely on information from tacuny staff and stueJents il the lbversity aOO Department of Educatoon (DOE) systems and from conmrity representatives ~om the major islands
The tva area s addressed n this Repon nciJde
bull Recruitment and Retention 01 F~ipino Students in Htgher Education bull Inclusion of Phiippine or F~ipino-Relaled Courses into too Curiculum bull Filipinos in the StateDepartmentof Education bull emplOyment 01Filipilos in the Professions bull Relations between Phihppile and IjS Institutions of HigherEducation

)
FINDINGS ON IROBLEMS AND OBSTACLES FOR ffiJPINOS IN mGIIER EDUCATION
The TaskForce found that Filipino students encounter numerous and varied barriers in seeking higher education which result In their considerable underrepresentatrcn at the University especially at UH- Manoa UH-Hilo and Wesl Oahu College
Recruitment and Retention
bull A major barrier for Filipino students In entering and continuing college is the cost of higher education For various reasons a significant number of rrunonty students do not apply for or receive financial aid such as loans scholarships tuition waivers and work study grants One explanation given is that information to minority students and their parents is not disseminated in a timely and culturally appropriate manner
bull There is a lack of effective and aggressive outreach programs to Filipino high school and community college students
bull Community college students have the same academic aspeetions as four-year college students when they enter college But only a small number of community college students transfer to a four-year college The problems that obstruct the transfer process include (1) differences in the admission standards at the four- and two-year colleges and (2) inadequate coordination between the two types of colleges in academic advising counseling recruitment and orientation
bull Poor mathematics and Englishskills were identified as fundamental deficiencies at incoming Filipino freshmen as evidenced by their row SAT scores While academic support services and remedial programs are available and helpful at UH-Hilo and the community colleges such services are lacking at UH-Manoa and West Oahu College
bull Filipinos constitute less than one percent of the faculty and staff at UH-Manoa and two percent at UH-Hilo There should be more Filipinos in the University system to serve as role models and to assist Filipino students
Philippine or Allpino-Related Courses and Resources
bull With the exception ot UH-Mtinoa there is a systemwide absence of courses and acnanes related to Philippine culture history languages and the Filipino experience in Hawaii This is ironic because it is at the community colleges that the greater percentage of students of Filipino ancestry is found
bull The absence of Philippine or Filipino-related resources at the community colleges UH-Hilo and WestOahu College is indicative of the lack of commitment to offer programs for this significant minority group
bull Very little scholarly and policy-oriented research has been or is being done on Hawaii Filipinos and Hawan-Ptulippmereanons Among the many research and policy topes thai should be addressed are bilingual education crosscultu rat communication learning styles immigration policies and the state record of prOViding assistance to minorities
bull The University of Hawan will institute a two-yea r foreign language requirement of enteringstudents slarting Fall 1989 llokano and Tagalog have been included among the approved languages to satisfy this requirement However neither language is offered in the system outside of UH-Manoa This situauon very likely
contnbutes to the frequent low enrolment at upper level Phlllpplne language courses at UH-Manoa soce students from the Community COllegeS and the public schools have not had the opportunity 10 study a Philippine language as a loretgl ianguage at lower levels Consequently they enroll in other language classes when they reach UH-Manoa
bull Another prOblem identlfled regarding Philippine language courses concems the cetmcate WIthccocennaroo in IIOkano Of TagalOg offered by the Department of IndOmiddotPaclhc Languages at UH-MAnoa This program is open orty to nomatlVe speakers 01 nose languages nus exckJdes bIJnguar or native Flilpeno speakers who may not have mastery or the torma traOOg in the reading and wnting 01their language
The State Department of Education
bull The prmary problem WIth the DOE as far as FilipinoS are concerned is that whlle F lpinos constitute one of the largest etMic groups among ptbIlc school studen ts they corcose orf a minimal percentage of teachers and admin istrators Again this lack of Filipino teachers and administrators hampers the studen ts access to readily available role laquocoee or suppon while anenalng pbl ic schools
Employment of Allplnos In the Professions
bull Hawan-eoucated Filipino protessonats face the general problem of undertepresentanon in the professions such as law medicine and education
bull Philippine-educaled professiona ls face lhe problem 01passing licensure or cenmcaton examinations needed to obtain employment in their particular field Without successfully completlOQ these examinations Philippine-educated professional s are tcrced into a situation of occupational downgrading
bull In occupations which do not require passmq a licensure examination the previous training and work experience of the Phillppine-educated protessionar are oftentimes devalued by local employers part icularly when they seek their first Job in Hawafi
bull Filipino UH graduates require ca reer placement assis tance since the occupational status 01Filipinos indicates aonnooar barriers In the emp loyment arena that prevent them from co mpeting enecnvefv for POSItiOns Wrthout an aggressive advocate assisting them in reducing employment obst acles Filipinos Will always find difficulty adva nCing themselves in the socoeconormc arena despite their college degrees
RelaUons between Philippine and US Instttutkgtns ot Htgher Education
bull Students from Philippine colleges and universrtles who anerct to transfer ermer to undergraduate or graduate programs in the University system eocoouer drfficlJbes ltl having their previously earned cred its accepted by the tJniversity A primary concern is lhe evalualJOll process 01the Eng ~sh competency 01 noeoanve EngliSh speakers
bull The Center for Philippine StudieS is severely lIlderstatfed Currently the Center has only one permanent halHIllIe POSlOOn
-shy bull
RECOMMENDATIONS
On Recruitment and Retention
bull Mo re tuition waivers shou ld be awarded eg twenty percent of available stale tuition waivers should be made available to FIlipino students (equivalent to their percentage of the public school enro llment) Additionally recipients of tuition waivers at the community colleges sho uld be allowed to reta in them when they transfer to UH-Hilo West Oabv College or UH-M~noa
bull Private scholarships shou ld be established by Filipino community and student organizations The University shou ld work with the University Foundation to organize an extensive funo rarsmq eutratrve in the cornmmny lor this purpose The University shou ld appoint a blue ribbon committee to aggressively support this scholarship onve
bull Pecnntment of FllJplno students to college must be Initiated as early as the seventh grade and vigo rously promoted by the DOE throughout high school The uruverstv shou ld sponsor vrsnanons by Filipino fac ulty and students to the public schools to encourage FIlipino students to go to college
bull Intermediate and high ecncce tret have FIlipino enro llment greater than the overall state per centage shou ld be made Priority rec ruitment sites The Ca tholic schools should also be a pnontv sue for recruitment because 40 percent of their students are Filipino
bull The four-year Institutions should Initiate a transfer project from the community coll eges becau se FIlipinos are adequately represented In them

FINDINGS ON IROBLEMS AND OBSTACLES FOR ffiJPINOS IN mGIIER EDUCATION
The TaskForce found that Filipino students encounter numerous and varied barriers in seeking higher education which result In their considerable underrepresentatrcn at the University especially at UH- Manoa UH-Hilo and Wesl Oahu College
Recruitment and Retention
bull A major barrier for Filipino students In entering and continuing college is the cost of higher education For various reasons a significant number of rrunonty students do not apply for or receive financial aid such as loans scholarships tuition waivers and work study grants One explanation given is that information to minority students and their parents is not disseminated in a timely and culturally appropriate manner
bull There is a lack of effective and aggressive outreach programs to Filipino high school and community college students
bull Community college students have the same academic aspeetions as four-year college students when they enter college But only a small number of community college students transfer to a four-year college The problems that obstruct the transfer process include (1) differences in the admission standards at the four- and two-year colleges and (2) inadequate coordination between the two types of colleges in academic advising counseling recruitment and orientation
bull Poor mathematics and Englishskills were identified as fundamental deficiencies at incoming Filipino freshmen as evidenced by their row SAT scores While academic support services and remedial programs are available and helpful at UH-Hilo and the community colleges such services are lacking at UH-Manoa and West Oahu College
bull Filipinos constitute less than one percent of the faculty and staff at UH-Manoa and two percent at UH-Hilo There should be more Filipinos in the University system to serve as role models and to assist Filipino students
Philippine or Allpino-Related Courses and Resources
bull With the exception ot UH-Mtinoa there is a systemwide absence of courses and acnanes related to Philippine culture history languages and the Filipino experience in Hawaii This is ironic because it is at the community colleges that the greater percentage of students of Filipino ancestry is found
bull The absence of Philippine or Filipino-related resources at the community colleges UH-Hilo and WestOahu College is indicative of the lack of commitment to offer programs for this significant minority group
bull Very little scholarly and policy-oriented research has been or is being done on Hawaii Filipinos and Hawan-Ptulippmereanons Among the many research and policy topes thai should be addressed are bilingual education crosscultu rat communication learning styles immigration policies and the state record of prOViding assistance to minorities
bull The University of Hawan will institute a two-yea r foreign language requirement of enteringstudents slarting Fall 1989 llokano and Tagalog have been included among the approved languages to satisfy this requirement However neither language is offered in the system outside of UH-Manoa This situauon very likely
contnbutes to the frequent low enrolment at upper level Phlllpplne language courses at UH-Manoa soce students from the Community COllegeS and the public schools have not had the opportunity 10 study a Philippine language as a loretgl ianguage at lower levels Consequently they enroll in other language classes when they reach UH-Manoa
bull Another prOblem identlfled regarding Philippine language courses concems the cetmcate WIthccocennaroo in IIOkano Of TagalOg offered by the Department of IndOmiddotPaclhc Languages at UH-MAnoa This program is open orty to nomatlVe speakers 01 nose languages nus exckJdes bIJnguar or native Flilpeno speakers who may not have mastery or the torma traOOg in the reading and wnting 01their language
The State Department of Education
bull The prmary problem WIth the DOE as far as FilipinoS are concerned is that whlle F lpinos constitute one of the largest etMic groups among ptbIlc school studen ts they corcose orf a minimal percentage of teachers and admin istrators Again this lack of Filipino teachers and administrators hampers the studen ts access to readily available role laquocoee or suppon while anenalng pbl ic schools
Employment of Allplnos In the Professions
bull Hawan-eoucated Filipino protessonats face the general problem of undertepresentanon in the professions such as law medicine and education
bull Philippine-educaled professiona ls face lhe problem 01passing licensure or cenmcaton examinations needed to obtain employment in their particular field Without successfully completlOQ these examinations Philippine-educated professional s are tcrced into a situation of occupational downgrading
bull In occupations which do not require passmq a licensure examination the previous training and work experience of the Phillppine-educated protessionar are oftentimes devalued by local employers part icularly when they seek their first Job in Hawafi
bull Filipino UH graduates require ca reer placement assis tance since the occupational status 01Filipinos indicates aonnooar barriers In the emp loyment arena that prevent them from co mpeting enecnvefv for POSItiOns Wrthout an aggressive advocate assisting them in reducing employment obst acles Filipinos Will always find difficulty adva nCing themselves in the socoeconormc arena despite their college degrees
RelaUons between Philippine and US Instttutkgtns ot Htgher Education
bull Students from Philippine colleges and universrtles who anerct to transfer ermer to undergraduate or graduate programs in the University system eocoouer drfficlJbes ltl having their previously earned cred its accepted by the tJniversity A primary concern is lhe evalualJOll process 01the Eng ~sh competency 01 noeoanve EngliSh speakers

bull Filipinos now second-largest racial group In Hawaii _JurI 15 2011929PMHST UpdaOCt Jutgt 1520111112 PM HST
By Ben Gutierrez - I
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Now figures from 2010 US Census show that Filipinos and part-Filipinos nowmake up the ~rgest racial group in Hawa ii
Japanese or part-Japanese were second in the 2000 Census behind whiles or Caucasians who were the largest group in 2000 and 2010
There are two reasons Ielt the Iaryesl Filipino populatioo
First immigration safd Or Amy Agbayani director of the StudentEquity Excellence and Diversity program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa -were number one in the number of immigrants coming in every year and we have been since 1965
Secondly ifs a young population and so they are havng more and more chiJdren Agbayani said Other groups such as the Japanese Americans are an older population and are therefore not havng children So you haveyoung immigrant families and young Hawait-bom families that are accounting for the increase
Those ideotrfying themselves as Filipino or part-Filipino increased
bull
bull
Avelina Dulay
24 percent from the 2000 Census
Filipino identity is stronger 80 a lot of mixed Filipinos will also identify as Filipino Agbayani said something that they would have been less likely to do in the past
The Filipino identity showed up at Maxs of Manila part of a popular Filipino restaurant chain that opened a new location In Kalihi Inside my aunt Avelina Dulay was celebrating her 89th birthday Dulay immigrated here in 1967 with her daughter Editha GOOoy who now operates a travel agency
Edithas daughter Benedith Ventura said Filipino identity wasnt as strong when she was growing up I think we tried to shy 8NiBf from being fresh off the boat- Ventura said -we just didn want to be identtfied as Filipino when we were growing up
But that is different now with her children
Benedith Venture
They go to school wearing a Filipino shirt and theyre showing their Filipinoflags on their cars so they have a stronger identity and a stronger senseof pride she said
Venturas son Trevor is going to college on the mainland with a stronger senseof cultural identity
I was broughtup to respect my cultureand to respect my elders and thatswhat 1IIe beeflliving by my whole lila he said
-As a memberof my Filipinoclub in the school I think were the second-largest club on our campus next to the Hawaii Club Trevor added
Ewn with the population gains Or Agbayani said there are still some shortfalls -such as the fad that were notdoing well and are under-represented in ~Iege at the University of Hawaii We have to make sure the public schoolsare more responsive to the children that are non-English speakersshy
There Wlll only one other change in he listof he ten largest racial groups in Hawsbull MafShallese wno didn show up In the 2000 census were the tenltHargest group in 2010 displacing Tongans to eleventh-largest

By Ben Gutierrez - I
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Now figures from 2010 US Census show that Filipinos and part-Filipinos nowmake up the ~rgest racial group in Hawa ii
Japanese or part-Japanese were second in the 2000 Census behind whiles or Caucasians who were the largest group in 2000 and 2010
There are two reasons Ielt the Iaryesl Filipino populatioo
First immigration safd Or Amy Agbayani director of the StudentEquity Excellence and Diversity program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa -were number one in the number of immigrants coming in every year and we have been since 1965
Secondly ifs a young population and so they are havng more and more chiJdren Agbayani said Other groups such as the Japanese Americans are an older population and are therefore not havng children So you haveyoung immigrant families and young Hawait-bom families that are accounting for the increase
Those ideotrfying themselves as Filipino or part-Filipino increased

Avelina Dulay
24 percent from the 2000 Census
Filipino identity is stronger 80 a lot of mixed Filipinos will also identify as Filipino Agbayani said something that they would have been less likely to do in the past
The Filipino identity showed up at Maxs of Manila part of a popular Filipino restaurant chain that opened a new location In Kalihi Inside my aunt Avelina Dulay was celebrating her 89th birthday Dulay immigrated here in 1967 with her daughter Editha GOOoy who now operates a travel agency
Edithas daughter Benedith Ventura said Filipino identity wasnt as strong when she was growing up I think we tried to shy 8NiBf from being fresh off the boat- Ventura said -we just didn want to be identtfied as Filipino when we were growing up
But that is different now with her children
Benedith Venture
They go to school wearing a Filipino shirt and theyre showing their Filipinoflags on their cars so they have a stronger identity and a stronger senseof pride she said
Venturas son Trevor is going to college on the mainland with a stronger senseof cultural identity
I was broughtup to respect my cultureand to respect my elders and thatswhat 1IIe beeflliving by my whole lila he said
-As a memberof my Filipinoclub in the school I think were the second-largest club on our campus next to the Hawaii Club Trevor added
Ewn with the population gains Or Agbayani said there are still some shortfalls -such as the fad that were notdoing well and are under-represented in ~Iege at the University of Hawaii We have to make sure the public schoolsare more responsive to the children that are non-English speakersshy
