cultureMay 2, 2026677

Filipino animated series Sun Chaser is being spotlighted for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month as creators share original art of lead character Jordan and his twin cousins La Bamba and Sessa to promote the upcoming show. Events are amplifying the spotlight, from the Asian Festival Night Market in downtown San Antonio showcasing local AAPI food and performances to the Heritage of Aloha Festival in Southern California on May 16 and 17. Studio Adore released a short trailer titled "THE CHANGELING Tape 1" for a Southeast Asian American-created animated horror project, underscoring a broader push for Filipino and Southeast Asian animation this month. This matters because Sun Chaser and similar projects raise visibility for Filipino creators, expand representation in mainstream animation, and give festival audiences a chance to experience regional flavors and family recipes firsthand.
