Betrayal, class fantasies, and the Filipino nation in Daly city,  is about the Filipino culture in

America to how it relates to the Filipino culture in the Philippines. The geographic focus is

Daly City, CA. Daly City is chosen because it is consider the most concentrated in Filipino

population and it has Filipino immigration history. The one thing I found interesting in Filipino

immigration history is the concept of leaving their country and the concept of staying. Those

left were considered betraying their country and were selfish for wealth and those who

to improve their country were considered heroes. It is also the argument between the class

and jobs in America vs. in the Philippines. Whether or not the immigration to America or the

stay in their country justified. However, if there had been no immigration would there have

the discovery of Filipino Hip Hop and how they were able to make it their own? By allowing

the immigration, Filipinos were able to find a practice they can use to voice out who they are

as a group.
