Author and lecturer Mel Orpilla corrects that oversight with this fascinating insider's look at the Filipino community in Vallejo. A second-generation Filipino American, founder of the Filipino American National Historical Society of Vallejo, and journalist who writes a popular column in the Vallejo Times-Herald, Orpilla has collected many never-before-published images from private collections, as well as the collections of the Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum.
