Los Angeles, California — A cultural initiative is bringing renewed attention to the heart of the Filipino American community. The launch of the Historic Filipinotown Jeepney Tour highlights both heritage and community connection in one of LA’s most culturally significant neighborhoods.
Jeepney Tour Highlights Filipino Heritage and Local Landmarks
On April 4, 2026, the Pilipino Workers Center (PWC) hosted the inaugural Historic Filipinotown Jeepney Tour at 153 Glendale Blvd., Los Angeles, California. The event marked a milestone in promoting Filipino American culture through an immersive community experience.
Attendees rode a restored 1944 Sarao jeepney through Historic Filipinotown, visiting landmarks such as the Filipinotown Gateway Arch, Unidad Park, and Larry Itliong Village. The tour included stops at local Filipino businesses, PWC headquarters, and a community resource fair.
Actress Ruby Rodriguez added a cultural touch as the jeepney barker, engaging participants throughout the journey. Supported by community organizations and sponsors, the initiative also emphasized economic support for small businesses and ongoing advocacy for Filipino workers and families.
