Description

For many Filipinos, ‘home’ is a far-off country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. For many Filipino Americans in San Diego, however, ‘home’ is a street.With its aroma of freshly baked pan de sal and cheerful sounds of Tagalog filling the air, Plaza Blvd is where Filipinos come together. Usually a trip to Plaza Blvd means a day at the markets, running errands; but for Nolan, Jocelyn, and Grandma, this place means so much more.
