Established in 1988, PAPC was founded 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 a U.S.-based Filipino American media group. All fierce advocates for truth, fairness, and excellence in journalism, they realized the vital role of media education and advocacy for the fast-growing Filipino population. They represent a small but influential set of local Filipino publications and broadcasters such as ABS-CBN, Asian Journal, Philippines News Today, GMA7, Inquirer.net, Phil-Am Post, and Positively Filipino, Radiant View, and Easterworks Media.
