There are plenty but out west in Rapid City. We had around 100-200 in our Fil-Am association when my family lived out there.

Rapid City has quite a few Filipinos. A lot of them work in the nicer hotels downtown like the Radisson and the Holiday Inn Plaza. I went to school with a couple Filipino families too.

Sioux Falls may have Fillipinos. Sioux Falls anymore has a variety of ethnic groups and is becoming more diverse. There is one or two at least that I am aware of in Sioux Falls but there may be more. The Morrell's plant attracts people of different backgrounds with some other service jobs.

The wiki page lists no filipinos in demographics of SF:
Sioux Falls, South Dakota - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and though I looked up the Morrell plant and it took me to that page where it is mentioned, I could get no more info on their hiring practices.

Sounds like Rapid City has the higher percentage according to the posters here.

Edit- Though I'm not sure how we can help a 14 yr. old?
As a parent, I certainly do not condone allowing minors to post their e-mail addresses. I would think a mod should edit that out of the post up there.

Hang in there Mark

Hope you will be able to make some new friends where you're at.

Maybe try for a Filipino pen pal on the internet?
