Maligayang pagdating sa pamilya, mga kaibigan, at mga bisita

              Maligayang pagdating sa pamilya, mga kaibigan, at mga bisita, “Welcome family, friends, and guests.” My name is Christian Enriquez and I come from a Filipino background. I am a first generation Filipino American. I have deep roots in the Filipino culture but have much to learn from it and believe that this class  can help me spread and make known the Filipino culture and values.  Along the road I have learned new elements about my culture that I would have never thought of on my own and has also answered numerous questions about my roots that have intrigued my curiosity for many years. I humbly invite you to join me as I explore this Bayan community with expectations of  success, creating memories, and taking on my challenges and struggles head on. Accompany me on a journey to learning about the Filipino culture and its values. I will keep you informed with blog entries detailing the obstacles that I confront, how I overcome them, how I learned from them, and how I have improved because of them. I will also keep you well informed with short statements, stories and photos. Salamat sa iyo para sa iyong oras at umaasa i na iyong oras sa labas ng iyong busy buhay at samahan ako sa paglalakbay na ito, “Thank you for your time and I hope that you take time out of your busy lives to join me on this journey.”
