Tagalog & Filipino in New York City —
Centered in Queens
New York City's Filipino community is centered in Woodside and Elmhurst, Queens — an area long nicknamed "Little Manila" along Roosevelt Avenue — with additional established communities on Long Island. Tagalog is the basis of Filipino, the national language of the Philippines, and the two terms are used interchangeably in everyday conversation.
NYC's Filipino community includes a large number of healthcare professionals — Filipino nurses and healthcare workers are a significant presence across NYC hospital systems — alongside families with document translation and interpreting needs of their own.
MEJPBS serves NYC's Tagalog and Filipino-speaking community across the full range of language services — immigration document translation, legal proceedings, hospital and healthcare interpretation, and government services.
