The celebration of Filipino American History Month (FAHM) in October commemorates the first recorded presence of Filipinos in the continental United States, which occurred on October 18, 1587, when “Luzones Indios” came ashore from the Spanish galleon Nuestra Senora de Esperanza and landed at what is now Morro Bay, California. FAHM was first celebrated in 1992, and was made official in 2009.

This list of titles explores the historical relationship between the two countries, the Filipino-American immigrant experience, and the current state of the Philippines.
