Sakadas ({{langx|es|sacadas}}; {{langx|krj|manga sakada}}; {{langx|ilo|dagiti sakada}}; {{langx|hil|mga sakada}}; roughly "imported ones") is a term for migrant workers in and from the Philippines, doing manual agricultural labor. Within the Philippines, sakadas work in provinces other than their own. In the 20th century, Filipino men were imported by the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association to Hawaii as "skilled laborers" from 1906 to 1946 mainly from the Ilocos region of the Philippines.{{cite web |url=http://filam.si.edu/curriculum/u3-part-03.html |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2010-10-13 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110113043954/http://filam.si.edu/curriculum/u3-part-03.html |archivedate=2011-01-13 }} A Century of Challenge and Change: The Filipino American Story, Unit 3 - Brown America
