 Title: Life and Times of Ben Fernandez

 By Raeven Fernadnez

 To see the video, just click on the play button to hear the 2012 interview.

 During Bens interview I ask him simple questions such as, how life was like in the Philippines, and what job he had, and why he moved to America. Ben answers all these questions, and goes into detail about his life in the military.

He also talks about how he ended up in Daly City California from the Philippines.

 

This Photo is of my grandfather, Ben Fernandez.  Born in the Philippines where he was one of four children. He was a

military officer in charge of one of the Philippines finest battalions. HE moved to America during the 1980’s.

 He now lives in Daly City where his story was told.
