Abstract
Abstract: Darva (Otlang) Gruber is a third-generation Filipino American who does not speak Tagalog or any other Philippine language. She shares her perspective and personal struggle identifying as a Filipino American within the Filipino community in the United States, which her family roots now extend to the fifth generation. Her children married non-Filipino spouses, which lend to her grandchildren's fair skin that takes them further away from their Filipino heritage in appearances. She expresses the con cerns she has on bridging the gap between the generations. The Filipino American experience is unique, as is each individ ual. Each generation bridges this gap by how it greets and inter acts with one another.
