Amado I. Yoro


Mamatika a ti Dingras Organization of Hawaii ket nabangon pay la idi 1925? Ken kameng kadi iti Oahu Filipino Community Council [OFCC] ti payong dagiti amin a gunglo Filipino iti Hawaii a nabangon idi Hunio 1959?

“Wen, Hunio 25, 1925 a nabangon” kinuna ni Frank Anno, agdama a presidente. “Segun dagiti naggal-allawat nga impormasion, nabangon pay la ti gunglomi nabiit pay met a nagsangpet ti Filipino iti Hawaii,” innayon toy maysa a pangamaen iti gimong. Nupay saan a nakaipatulod iti delegadona iti kaudian a kombension ti OFCC idi Hunio 21, 2008, pinabarona manen ti panagtuloyna a kameng iti OFCC iti agdama, 2008-2009.

“Ladingitek laeng ta saankon a malagip wenno ammo no asino ti immuna a nagpresidente. Ngem patiek a ti panggep daytoy a gunglo ket tapno makapagkaykaysa ken makitimpuyog dagiti kameng. Agtitinnulong iti pakaseknan dagiti agkakailian.”

“Ket idi apagsangpetak iti Hawaii idi Hulio 17, 1960, isu metten a naikamengak gapu iti awis ni Mrs. Dolores Manzanillo, ti agdama idi a presidente”.

Ket idi eleksion ti opisial idi 1961, napagasatan ni Frank Anno a presidente. Adda aganay a 150 ti kameng kadagidi a tiempo. Ti imasna a karit daytoy, bumasbassit ti kameng.

Arapaap ni Anno ti makitinnulong a mangpasayaat ken makiinnadal a mangidur-as ti DoH babaen iti pannakidanggayna kadagiti kameng. Kalikagumanna a no ania ti masursurona a pagsayaat iti liderato, kasta koma met kadagiti padana kameng.

Ket no maaramid a kasta, saan la a dagiti taga Dingras koma ti agkameng. Pangpanggepen idin ni Anno nga irehistro iti Dept of Commerce and Consumer Affairs tapno aplikaranda ti masasao a tax exempt, tapno awan ti agparang a kas iti panangilanglangi iti kamengna. Naaramid a kasta babaen iti tulong ni Atorni Manera, a kasinsin ni Anno.

Aktibo latta ti DoH kadagidi a tiempo. Saan met a maaw-awan ti gunglomi kadagiti aktibidad ti komunidad, adda latta delegadomi tunggal kombension.

Adda idi panawen a nabuangay met ti Dingreneos of Hawaii idi 1980 babaen ti panangidaulo da Vic Anno ken Margarita Suyat ket kayatda a tumipon ti DoH tapno ad-adu ti kameng ken ad-adda a mapagkaykaysa dagiti sangkailian. Ti adatna, kinuna ni Anno [Frank], saan a nagpaut dayta iti di maawatan a rason.

Ania ti panggep ti Dingras Organization?

“Mangted ti arayat/wenno donasion a kuarta kadagiti pamilia a mapanawan no pumusay ti kameng. Ket no adda naan-anay a pondo, mangted met ti gunglo ti tulong idiay ili ti Dingras. Adda metten electric water pump a naited ti gunglo iti hospital sadiay.” kinuna ni Anno.

Tumultulong pay ti Dingras Organization of Hawaii iti American Red Cross ken Philippine Red Cross iti tinawen.

“Pinadasmi a pabaruen babaen iti reorganisasion idi 1998 ngem ti adatna adda dagiti saanen nga interesado ket dakami ti nabati a mangipatpataray ita uray no bassit ti bilangmi, kas namunganayan a gunglo dagiti taga Dingras, maaramidanmi ti mabaelanmi, nga aramiden,” kinuna ni Anno.
