I'm not sure if it's still that way, I'm rarely in that part of town anymore. Eagle Rock also has a large Filipino population. I've heard of Filipinos in Reseda and Panorama City in the San Fernando Valley too.
Outside LA proper, Glendale, Carson, Cerritos, West Covina, Walnut, Diamond Bar, Rowland Heights... all have significant Filipino populations. Socio-economically, they've all become very diverse, too. When I was in high school in Cerritos back in the 1980s, all the Filipino parents (mine included) seemed to be either nurses, doctors, accountants, or real estate agents.

Yes, from what I understand and seen Filipinos are in the medical fields.
