In 1906 the very first group of Filipinos arrived in Hawaii. However, the major migration to this American territory occurred a couple decades later. As a matter of fact, it was galvanized by a labor situation first experienced by the Japanese immigrants in Hawaii. In October 1919, a group called the Japanese Young Men's Association sent seventy-five delegates who conferred in Hilo and called for a fairer working environment, with demands ranging from an 8-hour workday to increased wages. Another group of Japanese workers, called the Japanese Federation of Labor, met with Pablo Manlapit, the leader of the Filipino Labor Union, a small and somewhat underrepresented group, that included a number of Puerto Rican workers as well.

If you left Korea early Wednesday morning and flew to Hawaii, you would arrive on the same day, Wednesday. Due to the time difference, you would effectively "arrive before you leave" on the calendar, as Hawaii is about 19 hours behind Korea. Hence, despite the flight duration, you would still land in Hawaii on Wednesday.
