The Filipino American community is the second Asian American group in America with a population of over 3.4 million people according to the 2010 census results. The largest population of Filipinos is found in Jacksonville
Cheap Dani Carvajal Jersey
, Florida with the 201 census statistics indicating that there are over 120000 Filipino Americans in Florida. The first Filipino to arrive in Florida came in 1910, later by 1920; the population of Filipinos in Florida had increased to 11 before increasing further to 46 by 1930. The rise has been gradual and ever increasing due to the historical navy ties with the Philippines. A majority of the Filipinos in Jacksonville served or had connections with the United Navy which has two bases in Jacksonville. The famous Bataan is one of the numerous collaborations where the Philippines and the Untied States collaborated against the Japanese although they lost (Ling, & Austin

, 2015). The Filipinos that worked with the United States Navy came with their families and settled them at Jacksonville with most opting not to return to the Philippines even after retirement or end of their contract with their Navy. It is common to find Filipinos veterans that participated in World War II and battles such as the Bataan Battle residing in Jacksonville, Florida.
Other Filipino residents arrived in the United States in search for academic and job opportunities. The United States is perceived as the land of many opportunities thus the high number of immigrants that arrive at its borders. Some Filipinos at Jacksonville arrived seeking academic training. Filipinos that wanted to train in technical fields such as medicine and nursing preferred to study in the United States. The students thus moved alone or with his or her entire family and settled in America. For most Filipinos, the preference for Jacksonville other than other states was driven by the almost tropical weather conditions that were similar to the weather in the Philippines.
Upholding the Filipino Culture
The Filipinos in Jacksonville have a high sense of unity as they work together to preserve their culture and practices. The Filipinos have formed Filipino organizations that aim to preserve their culture and transfer it to their children and future generations. The struggle to maintain the Filipino culture is really difficult in an environment that is highly Americanized. Most teenagers and young adults find themselves struggling with the battle of staying Filipino and upholding their culture and becoming American. 13% of Filipinos in the United States were not born in America while 10% of Jacksonville residents were born in another country.
The Filipino community thus does not only have to grapple with the American culture but also with the potential influence of other cultures found in Jacksonville. However

, the Filipino community in Jacksonville has been working hard to ensure that they uphold and maintain their culture. The community holds events such as the Filipino Pride Day (FPD) where the Filipino community comes together to appreciate their culture. The event is graced with traditional Filipino performance, dance and acts (Pantaz, 2016). FPD is also a day where the Filipino get to demonstrate their culinary skills by demonstrating various Filipino dishes. The day also sees members of the Filipino community enjoy free health services that include free wellness checkup and treatment of minor illnesses.
For instance, Jacksonville has a significant number of nurses who are Filipinos. A majority of the immigrants from the
Philippines came as nursing students or as nurses where they secured jobs in various health facilities in the region. The shift of nurses from the Philippines to America is associated mainly with the continuous nurse shortage in America. The Filipino nurses arrived in Jacksonville to assist in filling the gap. The Filipinos thus play a significant role in enhancing healthcare delivery in Jacksonville. Although the Filipinos make significant contributions to service delivery of modern health, they still hold onto their traditional beliefs of health such as the principle of balance. Filipinos

, especially the elderly still hold onto the belief that illnesses occur when the body experiences some imbalance thus leading to a loss of equilibrium (Mohl, & Saeki, 2016). Health promotion strategies such as flushing

, heating, and protection of the body can be adoption to ensure there is a balance. In case the need for conventional treatment is critical, most Filipinos prefer to consult with a health professional in their families before making any further consultations.
Assimilation
Cultural assimilation is a sociological phenomenon where another culture comes close to resembling another culture from another group. The Filipinos at Jacksonville are working hard to ensure that they uphold their culture amid the increasing risk of assimilation. The Filipino children are at most risk of assimilation as they interact with other cultures while in school. Most Filipino parents wish that their children can adopt the American culture without abandoning their Filipino heritage. Unfortunately

, assimilation is almost impossible when the children spent most of their times interacting with the American culture. Assimilation is not all but, though if the Filipino children can retain their culture but still learn and integrate the American culture to their lives. The knowledge of two cultures would enable any person to blend across the two cultures with ease (Cherry, 2014). However
