The unveiling of the gateway called 'Talang Gabay' comes during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. The 30-foot tall gateway was celebrated by a slew of Los Angeles city officials, nearly a month after the landmark was initially installed.
After being installed in early April, the Historic Filipinotown Eastern Gateway was finally unveiled Saturday in a celebration that featured multiple Los Angeles city officials and public figures.
The unveiling comes during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, which officials saw more than fitting for the new landmark to be revealed to the public. The project has been a work in progress for the greater part of 20 years, back when current Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti represented the area as city councilmember.
In February, when O'Farrell announced the installment, he said,"This beautiful, historic landmark will be a source of pride for the Filipino community and will rightfully celebrate this vibrant neighborhood and the incredible contributions Filipino Americans make to the city of Los Angeles."
