A Journey Through Records and History
Rooted Pinay is more than just a blog; it's a homecoming. It's a space where I trace the footprints of my ancestors through barangays (villages), intricate Spanish calligraphy and faded photographs, where I gather fragments of history like precious spices, ready to be blended into a rich narrative.
My journey isn't just about me. It's about understanding the soil that nourishes our roots, the tapestry that weaves the fabric of our being. In every unearthed detail, we’ll find not just ancestors, but a deeper understanding of how we got to where we are today. I have years of research to share and hopefully my journey will makes yours a little bit easier.
Join me as I try to unearth hidden stories beneath the years of colonization and resilience. Let's explore the vibrant fiestas, stories amongst the ube sweets made with love, and better understand the faith amongst the people, unraveling the threads of kinship that bind us across oceans and time.
In the end, our Filipino heritage is not just a recipe or a karaoke song; it's the very DNA of who we are. And together, we can reclaim the missing chapters, savor the strength in our roots, and celebrate the heroic journeys and symphony of our lineage.
