WE ARE SO PROUD TO ANNOUNCE OUR HERMANA MAYOR FOR THIS YEAR's PISTAHAN! As we celebrate the 31st Anniversary of Pistahan, and our Bayanihan Spirit, we're excited to announce our first transgender Hermana Mayor, Tita Aida, a dedicated LGBTQ+ advocate and HIV/AIDS activist. During the HIV epidemic, she ensured prevention and education reached A&PI LGBTs in San Francisco. Her work with the San Francisco Community Health Center has secured ongoing funding for transgender programs, including mental health care and research studies. Nationally recognized, Tita Aida was the first Asian-Pacific Islander trans woman appointed by then-Mayor Gavin Newsom as Commissioner on the Status of Women. She also served on the Entertainment Commission of San Francisco. In 2012, she created public service announcements in the Philippines to raise AIDS awareness. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she helped distribute masks and provided safety training. Recently, Mayor London Breed honored her during Transgender History Month in August 2024. �Tita Aida looks forward to the "Bayanihan Experience" at Pistahan, saying, "We've come a long way! Let's continue growing, building bridges, and showcasing the beauty of our Philippine culture. This is a great moment to connect Filipino youth and elders, learning from each other to preserve and celebrate our culture." #Pistahan31 #Pistahan2024 #pistahan #pistahansf #pinoypride #filipinofood #filipinopride #filipinoheritage #aapi #aapiheritage #parade #martialarts #filipinomartialarts #livestream #internationalevent #foodie #food #sanfrancisco #sanfranciscoevent #freeevent #familyfriendly #freeandcheapsf #fyp #PistahanFestival2024 #Pistahan31ParadeandFestival
