Alaska has the largest concentration of Filipinos of any state. As Alaska’s capital city, Juneau’s history has been shaped by its Filipino community, but Filipino stories are rarely highlighted by the community they help form – not in schools, not in museums, not in the media.

Mga Kuwento – “the stories” in Tagalog – grew out of a desire within the Filipino community to record and share these stories. The podcast premieres Oct. 6 on ktoo.org or wherever you get your podcasts.
