	e.Peak (17/3/2003) features: Filipino youth to hold conference (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		With the rapid growth of the Filipino population in Canada and in British Columbia, Filipino youth are feeling the impacts of the intensifying inequality and underdevelopment of the Filipino community.
		Filipinos are among the most highly educated of immigrant groups in Canada, yet their incomes are lower than that of other immigrant groups and those born in Canada.
		In 1998, 14 Filipino youth and two other youth of colour were attacked by a group of 30 white youth in Squamish, B.C. Since most Filipino youth are newly arrived to Canada, they are constantly the targets of racially motivated attacks, both in and out of schools.

		Filipino adventurism has made us today's citizens of the world, bringing the bagoong (salty shrimp paste), pansit (sauté noodles), siopao (meat-filled dough), kare-kare (pea-nut-flavored dish), dinuguan (innards cooked in pork blood), balut (unhatched duck egg), and adobo (meat vinaigrette), including the tabo (ladle) and tsinelas (slippers) all over the world.

		Filipinos should allow - and should be allowed to contribute their special traits to the worldwide community of men- but first, we should know and like ourselves.

	Filipinas in Canada—De-skilling as a Push toward Marriage by Deirdre McKay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		While official Canadian statistics would simply record Perlita as another LCP arrival, her decision to migrate for contract work was undoubtedly influenced by visions of a future of possibilities suggested both by the presence of her sister in Canada and the potential of a romantic relationship with a Caucasian Canadian man.
		Among the general Canadian population, this creates the impression that LCP migrants are "unskilled" and "uneducated." These impressions contradict the social statistics collected on the LCP migrants themselves, yet are widely believed, in part because immigrants are also known for misrepresenting their status.
		Marriage to a Filipina on the part of a Canadian man seems to be discursively constructed around expectations of gratitude and exoticism and connected to her ongoing association with labor in a "domestic" rather than "public" space.

		For Filipino youth in Vancouver, the story on immigrant students lagging behind Canadian-born students, printed recently in the Vancouver Sun ("Immigrant peoples lag behind initially: study," Nov. 15, 2001) is not entirely surprising.
		Filipino youth and other marginalized youth are disappearing from the school system, because of the dismal support system in the schools and the intensifying racism in the Vancouver school system.
		Also, Filipino youth are assaulted daily with occurrences of racism ranging from racial slurs and threats to physical assaults.
