Fun Facts

The gateway, known as "Talang Gabay: Our Guiding Star," was designed by Eliseo Art Silva, who is also known for creating the largest Filipino-American mural in the United States.

The gateway features elements inspired by the traditional Filipino "parol," a star-shaped lantern symbolizing hope and guidance during the holiday season.

The creation of the Historic Filipinotown Eastern Gateway involved extensive collaboration with local community members and organizations to ensure it accurately represented Filipino culture and history.

The gateway is strategically located at the intersection of Beverly Boulevard and Belmont Avenue, marking the entrance to Historic Filipinotown, a neighborhood rich in Filipino heritage.

The Historic Filipinotown Eastern Gateway was officially unveiled on May 7, 2022, as part of efforts to celebrate and preserve Filipino culture in Los Angeles.
