Hundreds Attend AIB2B’s Filipinos4Trump Rallies
Thursday, October 8, 2020 – WEST COVINA – On Sunday morning, October 3rd, 2020, the Asian Industry B2B gathered Filipino Americans for Trump in Southern California by the hundreds (estimated over 500 attendees), for a rally with speakers and a subsequent caravan, starting and ending at Creekside Park in Walnut.
This special event and the leadership of organizer Marc Ang, President and Founder of Asian Industry B2B, were featured in the following media outlets: Fox National with Martha McCollum’s The Story, KTLA5, KCAL9, Fox local, KCRW and Filipino media such as Balitang America, Philippine Post and Asian Journal. Independent journalist, Be Like Water (Ryan Fu), produced a viral video, which has already garnered over 100,000 views.
The event united many Filipino American groups and communities on the right supportive of President Trump and received over 700 RSVPs and was moved from a smaller location at Jollibee in West Covina to the larger park, complete with the partnership of independent security groups as well as the support of Walnut City Council members Eric Ching and Nancy Tragarz, as well as local Los Angeles Sheriff.
The rally was part of a unifying series of events throughout the weekend, Filipino and non-Filipino, to celebrate the successes of the President from domestic to foreign policy. This event was one of many held nationwide on the same weekend, with other Filipino rallies are scheduled in Oregon, South Carolina, Virginia and many other states and cities with a significant Filipino population.
Festivities began the day before, on October 3rd, for decorating in various Filipino localities of Los Angeles. On Saturday, between 4 to 6 pm, four team leaders in heavily Filipino populated cities, Burbank, Santa Clarita, West Covina and Carson hosted decoration parties where participants met like minded Fil-Am conservatives to decorate their cars.
The speaker portion featured State Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff, Talk Radio Personality Don Dix, as well as representatives from the No On Prop 16 campaign, who spoke and most importantly, the Filipino grassroots leaders and press that made this happen including Noel Omega, Jessa de Guzman, Henry Chen, Nonie Bellarmino, Norma Branbilla, Pastor Hansel Orzame and Gay De Perio.
After this, the procession of over 150 cars went to several locations in 3 cities (Walnut, West Covina, Baldwin Park) to show the presence of Filipino conservatives at St. Lorenzo Church in Walnut, the Seafood City and Island Pacific supermarkets on Amar (at the original Jollibee location), Planned Parenthood and St. John the Baptist in Baldwin Park. These locations were specifically chosen for maximum impact and visibility.
Continuing in the tradition and leadership of AIB2B supporting and showcasing minorities on the right, on October 17th (Saturday) at 11 am, you are cordially invited to join our Walnut Family Fair in partnership with Candace Owens‘ organization Blexit. This will be a nonpartisan showcase of conservative values for the Asian, Latino and Black communities. RSVP Here
