Dear Friends of Philippine Expressions Bookshop,
We are thrilled to announce the 40th anniversary of Philippine Expressions Bookshop! It is a milestone that fills us with gratitude and joy, and we owe it to you—our cherished community of readers, writers, and supporters.
Since our humble beginnings in 1984, Philippine Expressions Bookshop has been dedicated to promoting Filipino culture through literature. Over the years, we have grown from a store with a passion for books into a vibrant hub for literary enthusiasts.
We have hosted numerous author readings, book launches, and community events that have brought people together to celebrate the rich tapestry of our Filipino heritage. Your support has been instrumental in our journey, and we are excited to continue this literary adventure with you.
The commemoration of our 40th year Anniversary will be highlighted by the Authors’ Day event and the 2024 Author of the Year Award ceremony, honoring Jocelyn Francisco, Ph.D., whose work as publisher and writer contributed to the promotion of Filipino language and culture to young Filipino Americans.
Authors based in CA who have done Book Talks at the bookshop have been invited to the event and they will likewise sign their books. Our FilAM community has been blessed with talented authors and guests will have a chance to buy their signed books as Gifts of Culture this Christmas!
Join us!
