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.
