Filipino American Heritage Month

About the October 2024 Sticker

October is Filipino American History Month! The design inspiration behind the Filipino American Heritage Month sticker draws from key elements of Filipino culture and symbolism. The sun rays, reminiscent of the Philippine flag, represent freedom, independence, and the enduring spirit of the Filipino people. The choice of colors — red, blue, and yellow — further reflects the flag and signifies bravery, peace, and justice. A prominent flower in the design is inspired by the sampaguita, the national flower of the Philippines, symbolizing purity, simplicity, and humility. Together, these elements pay homage to Filipino heritage and values, creating a meaningful celebration of Filipino American identity.
