What You May Want to Know About Positively Filipino

For those who are just now discovering Positively Filipino, here are some answers to questions that may be percolating in your mind:

*We come out with new stories for the week on Wednesdays (Thursdays in Manila).

*We are a magazine, thus we don't cover news stories, ongoing events and breaking news. What you will get from us are in-depth reports, features and profiles, opinion pieces and the always popular historical stories. 

*Overseas Filipinos (meaning those outside the Philippines) are our target audience, and our choice of stories reflect these. Since we are based in California, a large portion of our readership are Fil-Ams or Filipinos living in the US.

*We have a very small editorial staff, thus we rely on and continually welcome contributing writers from all over the world. If you want to be part of our pool of writers, please send a query to PFeditor@yahoo.com.

*In addition to our collection of new stories on Wednesdays, our newsletter also provides links to previously posted stories and a recipe  by a Filipino chef, or those who have original recipes to share. (We also welcome recipe contributions.)

*Our Global News Briefs section provides quick takes, with links to the full stories and their sources, on what's happening in Filipino communities worldwide. 

*Our Community News section features press releases from non-profits, community groups and charities. Those who want to market products will have to request for our advertising kit.

*The In the Know section at the bottom of this newsletter lists links to Filipino- and Philippine-related stories in other publications ICYMI. 

*Our Video of the Week provides visual entertainment from online sources.
