It remains to be seen how we can collaborate with these Nor Cal newspapers, but we look forward to exploring getting the newspapers at SFPL and partnering to create interesting programming for SFPL patrons.
Philippine American Press Club USA
We also met a wonderful person, Esther Chavez, former president of the Philippine American Press Club USA (PAPC). According to the PAPC website, the organization was "founded [in 1988] by former members of the National Press Club of the Philippines who had immigrated to the San Francisco Bay Area and saw the need for US based Filipino-American media group."
While we hope to collaborate with Esther on future programs, her advocacy may already be useful to you! The PAPC has co-organized a webinar with PG&E about wildfire prevention, which will be in "Taglish," a combination of Tagalog and English, and will be moderated by Regina Venzon, Chief of Staff to the Chief Operating Officer at PG&E and proud Filipina. Esther will be a co-presenter along with Joseph Peralta, current president of PAPC and Vice President and General Manager for the Northern California Bureau of Asian Journal Publications.
