In "Reimagining the Filipino’s American dream in the age of AI," the author describes traveling from Manila to New Brighton, Minnesota, to visit Dr. Alfredo Beltran, Jr. and Dr. Eleanor Mariano-Beltran, who settled there decades ago as young physicians. The journey involved nearly 23 hours of travel time and a layover in Incheon. The author highlights a bustling welcome lunch hosted by relatives, a tradition mirroring multi-generational Filipino-American family gatherings. Exploring the Twin Cities with Dr. Raiza Beltran-Tran, a professor of Public Health at the University of Minnesota, offered a look at the diaspora's integration. The university is associated with over 20 Nobel Laureates, including Norman Borlaug. The landscape, from the Washburn A Mill to the Guthrie Theater’s Endless Bridge and the Stone Arch Bridge, reflects 19th-century industrial grit transformed into modern cultural heritage.
