Marlene and I enjoyed dinner at the Filipino Community of Juneau tonight with friends. We really enjoyed the adobo chicken, which is one of the most popular Filipino dishes. Spanish was once widely spoken in the Philippine Islands. Adobo is the Spanish word for seasoning or marinade. Adobo consists of soy sauce, vinegar, crushed garlic, and other ingredients.
Filipino-Americans are the largest group of Asians in Alaska, and are about 2% of Alaska's population. Nearly 13,000 called Alaska home in the 2000 federal census. These good folks have had a presence in Alaska since the 1700s.
