  • The contributions of Filipinos and Filipino Americans alike to American culture are plentiful. Filipinos have always provided a source of human resources. From laborers in the farms, to domestic workers in the service industry, or teachers and nurses, Filipinos have entered many sectors of society and contributed fully to the success of the nation and any nation that they enter.

    Aside from being a source of personnel, Filipinos have taken on roles in the toy industry, like the invention of the yo-yo, the development of the flourescent light bulb, the development of the lunar rover that landed on the moon, serving valiantly in the military, taking part in the entertainment industry, and providing services to a multitude of citizens in government and politics.

    If one looks up notable Filipinos and Filipino Americans, one can see the many individuals and groups that have brought much content to the lives of society.
