The 40th Anniversary Memorial Ball of the Phil-Am TC featured cultural dances.
THIS Sunday, “Citizen Pinoy” brings a festive and meaningful edition of “Your Tanong, My Sagot (YTMS)” from the heart of Port St. Lucie, Florida, where leading U.S. Immigration Attorney Michael J. Gurfinkel joins the Philippine-American Association of the Treasure Coast (Phil-Am TC) in celebrating its 40th Anniversary Memorial Ball. Founded in 1985, Phil-Am TC continues its mission of preserving Filipino culture and building community through cultural events, scholarships, and public service in Florida’s Treasure Coast region.
Fil-Am pride was on full display as members dressed in traditional attire and performed classic dances like the Tinikling, Pandanggo sa Ilaw, and Maglalatik. Atty. Gurfinkel was welcomed as a special guest, with the evening’s keynote delivered by renowned Filipino American artist Jefrë, who shared updates about his upcoming project, “Heart in the Park” – a seven-story heart sculpture set to rise in Port St. Lucie’s Tradition district.
This special episode features interviews with community leaders and members, including outgoing president Maricor Frias, artist Jefrë, Dr. Joe Crawford (Atty. Gurfinkel’s brother-in-law), and longtime participants Winnie Lim and her children Ysabella and Vince – who have been performing at Phil-Am TC events since they were young.
Of course, it would not be a “Your Tanong, My Sagot” episode without immigration questions.
Lora asks if her late father’s petition can still be revived and whether she can petition her brother through her real estate LLC.
Gwen inquires whether her mother’s naturalization would help expedite her siblings’ immigration process. Atty. Gurfinkel provides clear and compassionate guidance to these questions and more, giving hope to families navigating U.S. immigration law.
