Being a Filipino-American- just a few statements

I was born in the Philippines but moved here when i was only 3months old. So I grew up here in the US and just visit the Philippines usually annually. I grew up speaking English and Tagalog. I am not fluent in Tagalog there but can understand everything in Tagalog. I grew up with the same basic customs in the house that my parents grew up with except am more fortunate than when they were younger. We are very religious considering most people in the Philippines are and are mostly Catholic unlike here where there is a wide variety of religions. I do not get to celebrate all of the holidays those in the Philippines get to though since it is different here but my parents still acknowledge those holidays in our house.
