Welcome to Oceanside.

There are plenty of Filipinos in San Diego. All the old Filipinos who entered the US Navy have retired here with their families.

I live in Mira Mesa. The nickname is Manila Mesa because there are so many Filipinos here.

There is also Rancho Penasquito. Also known as Rancho Filipino.

You can also go to National City. Lots of Filipinos there.

=========

Here is a Filipino restaurant in San Marcos which is very close to Oceanside (less than 10 miles); http://www.yelp.com/biz/manila-harbor-san-marcos

Here is a page for the 11th Annual Oceanside Filipino Cultural Celebration; http://www.ci.oceanside.ca.us/news/displaynews.asp?NewsID=258&TargetID=1 (There has to be Filipinos in Oceanside for them to have a festival every year for 11 years.)

Here is a page for Filipino Meet-Up groups in San Diego and Oceanside: http://filipino.meetup.com/cities/us/ca/oceanside/

Here is a Filipino supermarket in Mira Mesa; http://seafoodcity.com/

The first Jollibee in the USA was open in San Diego. (So was the 2nd one.); http://www.jollibee.com.ph/international/usa/store-locator

San Diego probably has one of the highest concentration of Filipinos in the US. You need to get out of your house.

The city of Oceanside even prints election notices in Tagalog. LOTS OF FILIPINOS IN OCEANSIDE. http://www.ci.oceanside.ca.us/civica/filebank/blobdload.asp?BlobID=29594

Tons of Filipinos in Oceanside, Camp Pendleton is just right there with lots of Filipino military personnel. I'm just few cities away from you.

Jollibee in Mira Mesa is now closed, I was just in the neighborhood 2 weeks ago. The one is in National City, I'm not sure.

If you can't find a Pinoy here in California you must be blind. Pinoys are everywhere in SoCal. My asawa is lucky that we live in the LA area and regularly go to Seafood City and Chow King (She loves Chicken Mami).
