## Summary

**Commemorates the 120th anniversary of the 1906 arrival of Filipino plantation workers, the Sakadas, and honors their profound contributions to Hawai‘i.** It recounts how 15 men arrived in 1906 and how Filipino labor grew to about 35,000 by 1932, making up roughly 70 percent of plantation workers. The text describes harsh conditions, including low pay, brutal labor, racial discrimination, physical abuse and confinement to plantation camps. It highlights Sakadas’ organizing and leadership, including Pablo Manlapit, their preservation of Philippine languages, and the lasting cultural and economic imprint they left on the islands.
