She said this effort sheds an important light on the role that essential workers play, but also on the broader implications of private companies leveraging power over those workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She asked, “How do you boast about your company doing well if workers are being left behind, and not keeping up with the pace of that growth from the company?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muñoz emphasized the increasingly steep costs of living in California, particularly the Bay Area, as a driving force behind the necessity of striking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that where essential workers are otherwise invisible, actions like this one bring their significance to light, and there exists the “valid concern that they should be making more in the face of increasing costs of living and the company making a good profit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muñoz, like Chang, has also been directly impacted by the strike. She lives in Hercules, and said her area, rife with raccoons, has experienced trash pileup this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Trash picked up is a benefit that we get,” Muñoz said. “But it doesn’t come to us without also seeing that the workers get their fair share.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

So this, up at the top there, was the original surface of this cliff, and this whole area we’re walking down here was a big landslide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>There are logs hammered into the slope — almost like a ladder — to help hikers navigate the sliding sand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>Basically this whole section of the coastline is very soft rock and it slides all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>Katryn tells me this beach can change dramatically depending on the season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese:\u003c/strong> So the sand piles up in the summer, and then throughout the winter, the heavier waves start excavating it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>That means there are hidden treasures here that can only be seen at certain times of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>Back where we first came in at Fort Funston, there’s all these beautiful fossil-rich rocks right at the base of the cliff. But you only can see them in the spring. otherwise they’re covered with sand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>Look closely at the bottom of the cliff and you can see clam fossils dating back almost a million years, Katryn says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But today, we’re on the hunt for a tunnel, not fossils. Neither Katryn nor I have seen this tunnel yet, so as we amble south down the beach we keep our eyes peeled for what Francisco described.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz (in tape):\u003c/strong> I wonder if this is it coming up\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>Let’s take a look.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>It’s definitely the right place. Francisco told us to look for two things: wood pilings sticking out of the nearby surf, and a cliff that juts farther into the Pacific than surrounding bluffs. Katryn and I walk over to get a closer look.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>When you touch it, what do you feel?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz (in tape): \u003c/strong>It’s pretty hard and it’s definitely very rough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>What grain size would you associate with that?\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz (in tape): \u003c/strong>Feels like sand to me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>It’s very sandy, isn’t it? Yeah, so this is a sandstone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>Little sand particles brush off when we rub the stone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>So whenever something sticks out on a coastline, away from everything else, it’s because it’s made of more resistant rock. So as the waves come in, they’re going to naturally excavate the softest stuff, leave the hardest stuff behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>Katryn says with soft rock like this, any little divet in the surface of the bluff can quickly become larger as the waves crash against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>When the waves come in they’re going hit that same indentation. It’s going to funnel the water into that indentation. And it’s just going to get deeper and deeper and deeper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>Looking up the cliff, we spot it! The mouth of the tunnel is barely visible about eight feet off the sand where we stand. When Francisco first saw it, the opening was much more obvious, but since then it looks like the mouth of the tunnel has collapsed, partially blocking the entrance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>I’m going to go up and take a look.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>We climb up a rocky shelf that gets us close enough to peer in, over the sandy rubble. It really is big — large enough for me to stand up hunched over. And it’s deep. We debate whether it’s safe to go inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz (in tape): \u003c/strong>Well, and it certainly goes back, I mean, 12, 15 feet, from what we can even see. So, like, if you were 15 feet back and then it caved in, that would be really bad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>It’s so tempting, though. And it’s not so much that I’m worried about the tunnel caving in. I’m worried about the collapse of the entrance. So this collapsed, we don’t know when, but it was recent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>Katryn admits to being let’s say \u003cem>wary\u003c/em> of confined spaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>You need to get someone who’s braver than me, because I don’t want to go back in there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>But the allure of solving this mystery is just too much for me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz (in tape): \u003c/strong>I’m going into this tunnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>I hand Katryn my backpack and clutch my recorder as I climb over the cave-in and slide down several feet of sand into near darkness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz (in tape): \u003c/strong>Ok, so I’m down in here. You can hear it’s a lot quieter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>It looks like someone has used a big ice cream scoop on the side of the tunnel near the entrance. The marks look similar to ones in a tunnel from the 1800s at Sutro Baths, so Katryn’s wondering if this tunnel really could be from back then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz (in tape): \u003c/strong>I’m going to go a little further back and see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>But further in, the sides of the tunnel are smooth, a strike against the 1800s theory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz (in tape): \u003c/strong>It gets smaller and smaller. I think it only goes 20 or 30 feet back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>I also noticed that although the sides of the tunnel are round and smooth, the top is flat, so from the outside, the tunnel opening looks something like a trapezoid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz (in tape): \u003c/strong>The top is a little flatter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese:\u003c/strong> I’m noticing that too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>By this time, I’d been in the tunnel for five or six minutes and to be honest, I got a little spooked. I figured the less time in there the better and made my way out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>I’m glad you did it. It needed to be done. Nice one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>After examining the rock formation up close — and taking photos of me inside it — Katryn heads back to her computer. She wants to compare today’s shots with some photographs she’s taken of the same spot on the beach going back several years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, I hopped on a call to talk about what she’d found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>The tunnel was not there back in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>So just four years ago, there was no tunnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>And it does appear a year ago in ’24. You know, somewhere around ’23, probably year ’22–’23 is when it started to get excavated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>That means it’s probably not an old tunnel from the 1800s. And there isn’t a lot of evidence for it being a drainage outlet either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>But then when I saw how smooth the inside was, and of course, how I felt the rock is very, very soft, I realized that, well, the waves have actually been smoothing it out throughout this storm season. And of course if the waves have a hole and they can go in it, they’re gonna just start digging that hole deeper and deeper. That is a typical aspect of coastal erosion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>And in the winter, those waves are especially powerful, reaching all the way up to, and inside of, the tunnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From a photo she took in January of 2021, Katryn can even see where she thinks the first indentation started.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>There’s no tunnel yet, but there’s more rock on the top of it right here. But you can kind of see what looks like a little bit of an indentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>But why is the roof so perfectly flat? The geologist has an explanation for that too. The cliff is composed of different layers of rock. The layer just above the cave is dense, but the ocean has scoured away with the rock below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>So, it’s because it’s excavating this softer layer, which is between two harder layers. And it just so happens that’s not a thin layer, it’s about six or seven feet tall, so you get a large tunnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>The marks at the opening of the tunnel that made Katryn originally think humans might have dug it — those ice cream scoops — likely are the work of curious people. But they probably didn’t dig the whole tunnel, they just widened the mouth. Their digging may have even caused the cave-in we saw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>And it ends up being a natural answer, which is sort of what you would have guessed from the beginning, but it’s nice to have it confirmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>I know, I was hoping this cave was some kind of secret rumrunners tunnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the truth is more surprising in some ways. In a few more years this massive tunnel might no longer exist. As landslides shift the cliffs and strong waves buffet them, this beach is constantly changing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the next time Francisco brings his dog Little Bean to walk here, it could look completely different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If listening to this story really made you want to see what this tunnel looks like for yourself, go check out our website … kqed.org/bay curious. We’ll put a link in our show notes too. We’ve got photos of what the tunnel looked like when Francisco saw it AND ones from after the cave in, when I was there. Honestly, it’s pretty cool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thanks to Francisco for asking this week’s question. It actually won a Bay Curious voting round.

Brown big ears and we’ve been going to the beach his entire life, but he loves it down there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>One day, they strolled along a beach that will look familiar to Northern Californians: dramatic bluffs covered in sand and succulents. But then, Francisco saw something unusual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Francisco Alvarado: \u003c/strong>It’s a tunnel coming out of the hillside in the middle of the beach, kind of not close to anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>If you stand on the beach at low tide, with your back to the ocean, he says you’ll see this elevated cave-like thing in the middle of a cliff. Its floor is around head-height. He climbed up to get a better look inside. It was bigger than he thought, maybe 3-feet wide, and it’s roof is smooth and flat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Francisco Alvarado: \u003c/strong>It’s just a very mysterious tunnel and I want to know what it was used for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>Since Francisco first saw this tunnel, his curiosity has consumed him. And he’s got some guesses about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Francisco Alvarado: \u003c/strong>And it has some, like, poles or maybe we used to be a platform on, on the beach. I think the tunnel is like an old train tunnel or something from way back in the day.

Today on Bay Curious we’ll visit Phillip Burton Memorial Beach, as it’s technically called, to see if we can find clues that tell us more about this mysterious tunnel. I’m Katrina Schwartz, you’re listening to Bay Curious. Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>Today we’re on a mission to find out more about a large tunnel carved into a cliff on the beach between Fort Funston and Thornton Beach. \u003cem>(Sounds of the beach) \u003c/em>To find some answers, I meet up with Katryn Wiese, a geology professor at College of San Mateo. We start at the large Fort Funston parking lot and pick our way down what looks to me like a huge sandy cliff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>We’re walking down the massive landslide that is Fort Funston. So this, up at the top there, was the original surface of this cliff, and this whole area we’re walking down here was a big landslide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>There are logs hammered into the slope — almost like a ladder — to help hikers navigate the sliding sand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>Basically this whole section of the coastline is very soft rock and it slides all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>Katryn tells me this beach can change dramatically depending on the season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese:\u003c/strong> So the sand piles up in the summer, and then throughout the winter, the heavier waves start excavating it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>That means there are hidden treasures here that can only be seen at certain times of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>Back where we first came in at Fort Funston, there’s all these beautiful fossil-rich rocks right at the base of the cliff. But you only can see them in the spring. otherwise they’re covered with sand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>Look closely at the bottom of the cliff and you can see clam fossils dating back almost a million years, Katryn says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But today, we’re on the hunt for a tunnel, not fossils. Neither Katryn nor I have seen this tunnel yet, so as we amble south down the beach we keep our eyes peeled for what Francisco described.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz (in tape):\u003c/strong> I wonder if this is it coming up\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>Let’s take a look.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>It’s definitely the right place. Francisco told us to look for two things: wood pilings sticking out of the nearby surf, and a cliff that juts farther into the Pacific than surrounding bluffs. Katryn and I walk over to get a closer look.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>When you touch it, what do you feel?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz (in tape): \u003c/strong>It’s pretty hard and it’s definitely very rough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>What grain size would you associate with that?\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz (in tape): \u003c/strong>Feels like sand to me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>It’s very sandy, isn’t it? Yeah, so this is a sandstone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>Little sand particles brush off when we rub the stone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>So whenever something sticks out on a coastline, away from everything else, it’s because it’s made of more resistant rock. So as the waves come in, they’re going to naturally excavate the softest stuff, leave the hardest stuff behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>Katryn says with soft rock like this, any little divet in the surface of the bluff can quickly become larger as the waves crash against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>When the waves come in they’re going hit that same indentation. It’s going to funnel the water into that indentation. And it’s just going to get deeper and deeper and deeper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>Looking up the cliff, we spot it! The mouth of the tunnel is barely visible about eight feet off the sand where we stand. When Francisco first saw it, the opening was much more obvious, but since then it looks like the mouth of the tunnel has collapsed, partially blocking the entrance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>I’m going to go up and take a look.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>We climb up a rocky shelf that gets us close enough to peer in, over the sandy rubble. It really is big — large enough for me to stand up hunched over. And it’s deep. We debate whether it’s safe to go inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz (in tape): \u003c/strong>Well, and it certainly goes back, I mean, 12, 15 feet, from what we can even see. So, like, if you were 15 feet back and then it caved in, that would be really bad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>It’s so tempting, though. And it’s not so much that I’m worried about the tunnel caving in. I’m worried about the collapse of the entrance. So this collapsed, we don’t know when, but it was recent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>Katryn admits to being let’s say \u003cem>wary\u003c/em> of confined spaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>You need to get someone who’s braver than me, because I don’t want to go back in there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>But the allure of solving this mystery is just too much for me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz (in tape): \u003c/strong>I’m going into this tunnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>I hand Katryn my backpack and clutch my recorder as I climb over the cave-in and slide down several feet of sand into near darkness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz (in tape): \u003c/strong>Ok, so I’m down in here. You can hear it’s a lot quieter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>It looks like someone has used a big ice cream scoop on the side of the tunnel near the entrance. The marks look similar to ones in a tunnel from the 1800s at Sutro Baths, so Katryn’s wondering if this tunnel really could be from back then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz (in tape): \u003c/strong>I’m going to go a little further back and see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>But further in, the sides of the tunnel are smooth, a strike against the 1800s theory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz (in tape): \u003c/strong>It gets smaller and smaller. I think it only goes 20 or 30 feet back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>I also noticed that although the sides of the tunnel are round and smooth, the top is flat, so from the outside, the tunnel opening looks something like a trapezoid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz (in tape): \u003c/strong>The top is a little flatter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese:\u003c/strong> I’m noticing that too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>By this time, I’d been in the tunnel for five or six minutes and to be honest, I got a little spooked. I figured the less time in there the better and made my way out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>I’m glad you did it. It needed to be done. Nice one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>After examining the rock formation up close — and taking photos of me inside it — Katryn heads back to her computer. She wants to compare today’s shots with some photographs she’s taken of the same spot on the beach going back several years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, I hopped on a call to talk about what she’d found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>The tunnel was not there back in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>So just four years ago, there was no tunnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>And it does appear a year ago in ’24. You know, somewhere around ’23, probably year ’22–’23 is when it started to get excavated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>That means it’s probably not an old tunnel from the 1800s. And there isn’t a lot of evidence for it being a drainage outlet either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>But then when I saw how smooth the inside was, and of course, how I felt the rock is very, very soft, I realized that, well, the waves have actually been smoothing it out throughout this storm season. And of course if the waves have a hole and they can go in it, they’re gonna just start digging that hole deeper and deeper. That is a typical aspect of coastal erosion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>And in the winter, those waves are especially powerful, reaching all the way up to, and inside of, the tunnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From a photo she took in January of 2021, Katryn can even see where she thinks the first indentation started.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>There’s no tunnel yet, but there’s more rock on the top of it right here. But you can kind of see what looks like a little bit of an indentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>But why is the roof so perfectly flat? The geologist has an explanation for that too. The cliff is composed of different layers of rock. The layer just above the cave is dense, but the ocean has scoured away with the rock below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>So, it’s because it’s excavating this softer layer, which is between two harder layers. And it just so happens that’s not a thin layer, it’s about six or seven feet tall, so you get a large tunnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>The marks at the opening of the tunnel that made Katryn originally think humans might have dug it — those ice cream scoops — likely are the work of curious people. But they probably didn’t dig the whole tunnel, they just widened the mouth. Their digging may have even caused the cave-in we saw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katryn Wiese: \u003c/strong>And it ends up being a natural answer, which is sort of what you would have guessed from the beginning, but it’s nice to have it confirmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz: \u003c/strong>I know, I was hoping this cave was some kind of secret rumrunners tunnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the truth is more surprising in some ways. In a few more years this massive tunnel might no longer exist. As landslides shift the cliffs and strong waves buffet them, this beach is constantly changing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the next time Francisco brings his dog Little Bean to walk here, it could look completely different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If listening to this story really made you want to see what this tunnel looks like for yourself, go check out our website … kqed.org/bay curious. We’ll put a link in our show notes too. We’ve got photos of what the tunnel looked like when Francisco saw it AND ones from after the cave in, when I was there. Honestly, it’s pretty cool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thanks to Francisco for asking this week’s question. It actually won a Bay Curious voting round. And we’ve got three new questions up on our website now, ready for you to go vote. Here are your options:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Question 1: \u003c/strong>The Nimitz House — an abandoned, but still-stunning 6,000 square foot mansion located literally under the Bay Bridge on Yerba Buena — is something even long-time San Francisco residents know nothing about. What’s the story of the mansion?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Question 2:\u003c/strong> What were the navigational trees in Oakland and how did they help sailors avoid Blossom Rock in the bay? And also, what’s the story of Blossom Rock being blown up?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Question 3:\u003c/strong> What the story with the “art” (read: eyesore) installation just west of the Ferry Building in San Francisco? It’s the large concrete structure with flowing, moldy mildew water (on Google maps it’s called the Vaillancourt Fountain).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katrina Schwartz:\u003c/strong> Head over to kqed dot org slash bay curious to cast your vote.

Today is an accomplishment,” she said during the ceremony earlier this year. “Today is a good day to ask for some money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crowd laughed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Manio returned home, she found a white piece of paper labeled “Eviction Notice” tacked to her door. She had 15 days to leave her Daly City apartment. Manio, who had recently started a new career in commercial real estate, an industry devastated by the pandemic, recognized the irony of what she had told the audience. Suddenly, she was staring at her own financial abyss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic devastated lower-income families, middle-class households were not immune.

Manio was among those who got rental assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were an awful lot of middle-class and lower middle-class folks,” said Bart Charlow, CEO of Samaritan House. Some “apologized as if it was their fault,” he said. Others avoided eye contact. More than a few broke into tears. Many experienced “complete bewilderment and loss of pride in suddenly not being able to be independent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pandemic caps 40 years of a middle-class squeeze in California, where \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/incoming-inequality-and-economic-opportunity-in-california-december-2020.pdf\">the income of the state’s top earners has far outpaced that of the middle class\u003c/a>, according to a 2020 report from the Public Policy Institute of California. The Golden State’s billionaires \u003ca href=\"https://ips-dc.org/a-year-of-billionaire-pandemic-gains/\">added $551.2 billion to their net worth\u003c/a>, while more than 25 million Californians \u003ca href=\"https://edd.ca.gov/Newsroom/facts-and-stats/dashboard.htm#TotalUnemploymentClaims\">filed unemployment claims since March 1, 2020\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the state shut down last spring, Manio was inundated with phone calls as clients cut and ran. It was Manio’s first year in commercial realty, and she had no clue what to do. She scrambled to retain business by offering to review contracts for companies trying to get out of leases and even delivered groceries and medications for her elderly clients. But by early April, deals froze. “I was running on a track,” Manio said, “and then stepped in molasses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many Californians, Manio’s biggest cost was her $3,225 monthly rent. Manio knew she could move in with her mother in the Central Valley in an emergency.

She scrambled to retain business by offering to review contracts for companies trying to get out of leases and even delivered groceries and medications for her elderly clients. But by early April, deals froze. “I was running on a track,” Manio said, “and then stepped in molasses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many Californians, Manio’s biggest cost was her $3,225 monthly rent.

"content": "\u003cp>A Daly City police officer’s fatal shooting of a 44-year-old man in April was legally justified, according to an investigation by the San Mateo County district attorney made public on August 20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On April 7 detective Cameron Newton fired twice into the truck of Roger Allen. One shot hit Allen in the chest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The killing of Allen, a Black man, drew attention to the Daly City Police Department’s long-stalled body camera program. Allen’s family and advocates questioned how what began with a flat tire ended in a deadly shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers “reasonably believed they were in a struggle for their lives over control of a gun that, had it been real, could have been used to shoot both of them,” District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe wrote in a letter accompanying his office’s investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview Friday evening about her brother, Talika Fletcher said she was “numb” in response to the announcement. Fletcher plans to sue Daly City, but doesn’t yet have a lawyer. “I will get justice,” Fletcher said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fletcher said Black people like her brother are often fearful when stopped by police. “Are we going to get shot or go to jail when we get pulled over?” she asked. “These are the things we think about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/06/28/110-deaths-police-killings-in-the-bay-area-since-2015-result-in-no-prosecutions-of-cops-and-little-discipline/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2020 Bay Area News Group study\u003c/a> of 110 law enforcement-involved deaths since 2015 found an outsized percentage of Black people had been killed — even when they were unarmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the absence of body camera video, the DA’s investigation reconstructed the incident from interviews and physical evidence. According to the DA’s report, Officer Nicholas McCarthy said he saw a truck pulled over with a flat tire on the 700 block of Niantic Avenue, just east of Highway 280 in Daly City. It was a few minutes before 2 p.m. He decided to check on the driver, and pulled behind the truck without his lights or sirens on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCarthy told investigators he saw Allen, who was in the truck’s passenger seat, trying to hide a pipe. He asked the driver, James Colangelo, to step out of the vehicle. Officer Rosa Brenes arrived, followed closely by Lt. Michael Brennan and detective Cameron Newton, who approached the passenger side of the truck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCarthy said he then noticed that Allen was holding what looked like a semiautomatic handgun in his lap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officer yelled “Gun, gun, gun!” and drew his own firearm, according to the DA’s report, as Allen raised the weapon and began to yell, pointing it at McCarthy’s face. As he prepared to fire, the officer said he felt a “pinch” on his forehead. He said he feared shooting could hit the other officers and decided to retreat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Had Mr. Allen’s gun been an actual firearm, officer McCarthy would have been shot in the head and likely suffered a fatal wound instead of only suffering a graze wound from a BB,” Wagstaffe wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brennan had opened the passenger side door and was struggling with Allen, officers and witnesses told DA’s investigators. Detective Cameron Newton reached around Brennan and fired two shots at Allen, hitting him once fatally in the chest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a feeling of being terrified that the subject was going to kill the Lieutenant right in front of me, kill me, whoever else was in the vehicle,” Newton told investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colangelo and another witness in the truck’s back seat told investigators Allen pointed what looked like a gun at police officers, according to the DA’s report. [aside tag=\"police, police-violence\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colangelo said the primary officer jumped into the driver’s side of the car to try to wrestle for the gun, and the struggle lasted for 30 to 40 seconds before he heard the first and then second gunshot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An additional witness was in the back seat and said the struggle for the gun lasted “only seconds” before shots were fired, according to the DA’s report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daly City’s long-stalled plan to implement body cameras was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11872712/in-wake-of-roger-allen-killing-daly-city-plans-body-camera-program-after-four-year-delay\">restarted after Allen’s death\u003c/a>. The police department has purchased 100 body cameras and 32 in-car cameras and is training officers to use them, according to a statement from the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the summer, Daly City hired former Oakland police chief Howard Jordan’s consulting firm to investigate the shooting to see whether the officers violated the department’s use-of-force policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District Attorney Wagstaffe said he believed his office examined all evidence in the case, but also said he would be open to new evidence if the independent investigation discovered something new.\u003c/p>\n\n",

According to the DA’s report, Officer Nicholas McCarthy said he saw a truck pulled over with a flat tire on the 700 block of Niantic Avenue, just east of Highway 280 in Daly City. It was a few minutes before 2 p.m. He decided to check on the driver, and pulled behind the truck without his lights or sirens on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCarthy told investigators he saw Allen, who was in the truck’s passenger seat, trying to hide a pipe. He asked the driver, James Colangelo, to step out of the vehicle. Officer Rosa Brenes arrived, followed closely by Lt. Michael Brennan and detective Cameron Newton, who approached the passenger side of the truck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCarthy said he then noticed that Allen was holding what looked like a semiautomatic handgun in his lap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officer yelled “Gun, gun, gun!” and drew his own firearm, according to the DA’s report, as Allen raised the weapon and began to yell, pointing it at McCarthy’s face. As he prepared to fire, the officer said he felt a “pinch” on his forehead. He said he feared shooting could hit the other officers and decided to retreat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Had Mr. Allen’s gun been an actual firearm, officer McCarthy would have been shot in the head and likely suffered a fatal wound instead of only suffering a graze wound from a BB,” Wagstaffe wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brennan had opened the passenger side door and was struggling with Allen, officers and witnesses told DA’s investigators. Detective Cameron Newton reached around Brennan and fired two shots at Allen, hitting him once fatally in the chest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a feeling of being terrified that the subject was going to kill the Lieutenant right in front of me, kill me, whoever else was in the vehicle,” Newton told investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colangelo and another witness in the truck’s back seat told investigators Allen pointed what looked like a gun at police officers, according to the DA’s report. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But for Ginelsa, it’s more than that. It’s where he fell in love with filmmaking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ginelsa pointed to a ground-level outdoor walkway at the front of the school: “We definitely shot around this area here.” Ginelsa is best known for his feature-length film “Lumpia,” first filmed in 1996 when he was home for summer break from the University of Southern California’s film school and completed in 2003.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is where we first meet the protagonist, when he trips,” he said. “It does bring back memories.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film’s fictional Fogtown is Ginelsa’s hometown of Daly City, where \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11883382/in-daly-city-the-bayanihan-spirit-is-alive-and-well\">about 30% of the population is Filipino\u003c/a>, like he is. “Lumpia,” a fun action-comedy, deals with discrimination against newer immigrants within the Filipino community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m a nerd at heart and I just felt it would be so much cooler and wackier to have a Filipino American as the central hero in this comic book world,” Ginelsa said. “And also some of the things I tackle are very serious in tone and I wanted to kind of make it more lighthearted and fun.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11883795\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 900px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11883795\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/LUMPIA_MoviePoster-sm-1.jpg\" alt=\"A life-long comic book fan, Patricio Ginelsa featured a Filipino American hero in his first movie, making the weapon of choice the Filipino food staple lumpia.\" width=\"900\" height=\"1184\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/LUMPIA_MoviePoster-sm-1.jpg 900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/LUMPIA_MoviePoster-sm-1-800x1052.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/LUMPIA_MoviePoster-sm-1-160x210.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A life-long comic book fan, Patricio Ginelsa featured a Filipino American hero in his first movie, making the weapon of choice the Filipino food staple lumpia. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Kid Heroes Productions)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ginelsa said that, growing up in Daly City, he didn’t realize how special it was to be surrounded by such a large and vibrant Filipino community. All the student body officers he remembers were Filipino, and “the most popular person in high school was never the football jock — it was the Filipino deejay that would get you into the dance parties.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was only after Ginelsa left for film school that he understood what he’d taken for granted. At USC, he joined some Filipino student groups, something he’d never felt the need to do before, to try to build a similar community.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Ginelsa’s Filmmaking Goes Way Back\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Ginelsa grew up near Hillside Park surrounded by other families with kids. He says that, more than any other place in his life, that park represents community. He and his friends would play baseball, then run to one of their houses for a snack. One summer, Ginelsa coordinated his friends to make a superhero movie they called “Kid Heroes.” Moviemaking soon became a summer tradition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And these superhero movies we would do during the summer started becoming popular,” Ginelsa said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11883799\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11883799\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/LumpiaVengeance_JeffersonHS.jpg\" alt=\"The cast and crew shot scenes at Ginelsa's alma mater, Jefferson High School in Daly City, for both the first "Lumpia" movie and "Lumpia With a Vengeance."\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/LumpiaVengeance_JeffersonHS.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/LumpiaVengeance_JeffersonHS-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/LumpiaVengeance_JeffersonHS-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/LumpiaVengeance_JeffersonHS-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/LumpiaVengeance_JeffersonHS-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The cast and crew shot scenes at Ginelsa’s alma mater, Jefferson High School in Daly City, for both the first “Lumpia” movie and “Lumpia With a Vengeance.” \u003ccite>(\u003ca href=\"https://www.jdbcreativity.com/\">Jamison Boyer\u003c/a>/Courtesy Kid Heroes Productions)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>They’d premier the movie on VHS at his house at the end of the summer and then pass it around to friends once school started in the fall. Each kid who watched had to sign a “slam book” where they wrote their favorite scenes and gave feedback on how Ginelsa and his friends could improve. By the end of the school year, everyone wanted to be in the next film.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, when Ginelsa came home from USC, he and his friends decided to create a reunion summer movie — footage that was eventually added to the final cut of “Lumpia.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It started out with a bunch of Filipino kids in the neighborhood just making movies together. And now we’re playing on a playground that’s just a little bit bigger,” Ginelsa said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fighting for Representation\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Ginelsa said that when he first showed up at USC, he felt pressure to make things that were more mainstream. It was hard to push back against critiques that no one would want to watch movies about Filipino characters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t find my voice until I got involved with the movie called ‘The Debut’,” he said. Ginelsa interned on the independent feature-length film starring Dante Basco (of “Hook” fame), the first Filipino American film to be released theatrically nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Working on that film, touring with it, meeting pockets of Filipino Americans around the country and selling the film to business people: “That was my real film school,” Ginelsa said. “Seeing what it takes to make a Filipino American film and getting it out there. And that gave me the confidence to put out this homemade movie I shot [“Lumpia”] and to finish it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Energized by what he’d learned on tour with “The Debut,” Ginelsa rewrote the third act of “Lumpia” and reconvened his friends and neighbors to shoot the end seven years after capturing the original scenes at Jefferson High.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Infusing Filipino Heritage Into Other Projects\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“Lumpia” became a cult classic, and Ginelsa went on to work on some other big projects, including directing two music videos for the Black Eyed Peas, including “Bebot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV_Jh51XyBo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I set it in Stockton, California,” he said of “Bebot.” “There’s a whole history of this where, you know, back in the ’30s, that’s where asparagus farmers came in. I felt like even though it’s a commercial to sell music for the Black Eyed Peas, at least I feel like I did some part to shine a light on that history that you don’t normally read in history books.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, to honor the 10-year anniversary of “Lumpia,” Ginelsa started crowdfunding to make a sequel — what would eventually become “Lumpia With a Vengeance.” He raised $50,000 to make the movie and started shooting it in 2017. Now, he’s touring the country screening it at film festivals and seeking a distributor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjiRMHszDJk\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On His Daly City Roots\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Ginelsa has come a long way from the “Kid Heroes” summer movie project, but Daly City has left an indelible stamp on his identity and his art. He lives in Los Angeles now, but when he returns to Daly City to visit family, he revels in the fog and makes sure to visit his old stomping grounds — Hillside Park, Jefferson High, and, of course, the Serramonte mall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Growing up here, I just felt like it boosted my pride in terms of being Fil-Am,” Ginelsa said. “As a filmmaker, it became almost like a responsibility to use my platform to tell my stories.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousquestion]\u003c/p>\n\n",

At USC, he joined some Filipino student groups, something he’d never felt the need to do before, to try to build a similar community.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Ginelsa’s Filmmaking Goes Way Back\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Ginelsa grew up near Hillside Park surrounded by other families with kids. He says that, more than any other place in his life, that park represents community. He and his friends would play baseball, then run to one of their houses for a snack. One summer, Ginelsa coordinated his friends to make a superhero movie they called “Kid Heroes.” Moviemaking soon became a summer tradition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And these superhero movies we would do during the summer started becoming popular,” Ginelsa said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11883799\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11883799\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/LumpiaVengeance_JeffersonHS.jpg\" alt=\"The cast and crew shot scenes at Ginelsa's alma mater, Jefferson High School in Daly City, for both the first "Lumpia" movie and "Lumpia With a Vengeance."\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/LumpiaVengeance_JeffersonHS.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/LumpiaVengeance_JeffersonHS-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/LumpiaVengeance_JeffersonHS-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/LumpiaVengeance_JeffersonHS-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/LumpiaVengeance_JeffersonHS-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The cast and crew shot scenes at Ginelsa’s alma mater, Jefferson High School in Daly City, for both the first “Lumpia” movie and “Lumpia With a Vengeance.” \u003ccite>(\u003ca href=\"https://www.jdbcreativity.com/\">Jamison Boyer\u003c/a>/Courtesy Kid Heroes Productions)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>They’d premier the movie on VHS at his house at the end of the summer and then pass it around to friends once school started in the fall. Each kid who watched had to sign a “slam book” where they wrote their favorite scenes and gave feedback on how Ginelsa and his friends could improve. By the end of the school year, everyone wanted to be in the next film.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, when Ginelsa came home from USC, he and his friends decided to create a reunion summer movie — footage that was eventually added to the final cut of “Lumpia.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It started out with a bunch of Filipino kids in the neighborhood just making movies together. And now we’re playing on a playground that’s just a little bit bigger,” Ginelsa said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fighting for Representation\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Ginelsa said that when he first showed up at USC, he felt pressure to make things that were more mainstream. It was hard to push back against critiques that no one would want to watch movies about Filipino characters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t find my voice until I got involved with the movie called ‘The Debut’,” he said. Ginelsa interned on the independent feature-length film starring Dante Basco (of “Hook” fame), the first Filipino American film to be released theatrically nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Working on that film, touring with it, meeting pockets of Filipino Americans around the country and selling the film to business people: “That was my real film school,” Ginelsa said. “Seeing what it takes to make a Filipino American film and getting it out there. And that gave me the confidence to put out this homemade movie I shot [“Lumpia”] and to finish it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Energized by what he’d learned on tour with “The Debut,” Ginelsa rewrote the third act of “Lumpia” and reconvened his friends and neighbors to shoot the end seven years after capturing the original scenes at Jefferson High.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Infusing Filipino Heritage Into Other Projects\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“Lumpia” became a cult classic, and Ginelsa went on to work on some other big projects, including directing two music videos for the Black Eyed Peas, including “Bebot.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/sV_Jh51XyBo'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/sV_Jh51XyBo'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>“I set it in Stockton, California,” he said of “Bebot.” “There’s a whole history of this where, you know, back in the ’30s, that’s where asparagus farmers came in. I felt like even though it’s a commercial to sell music for the Black Eyed Peas, at least I feel like I did some part to shine a light on that history that you don’t normally read in history books.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, to honor the 10-year anniversary of “Lumpia,” Ginelsa started crowdfunding to make a sequel — what would eventually become “Lumpia With a Vengeance.” He raised $50,000 to make the movie and started shooting it in 2017. Now, he’s touring the country screening it at film festivals and seeking a distributor.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/IjiRMHszDJk'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/IjiRMHszDJk'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ch3>On His Daly City Roots\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Ginelsa has come a long way from the “Kid Heroes” summer movie project, but Daly City has left an indelible stamp on his identity and his art. He lives in Los Angeles now, but when he returns to Daly City to visit family, he revels in the fog and makes sure to visit his old stomping grounds — Hillside Park, Jefferson High, and, of course, the Serramonte mall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Growing up here, I just felt like it boosted my pride in terms of being Fil-Am,” Ginelsa said. “As a filmmaker, it became almost like a responsibility to use my platform to tell my stories.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
