PRESS
RELEASE from the Philippine Embassy in the United States, Washington D.C.
WDC-10-2021
9 MARCH 2021
WASHINGTON,
D.C. –
The Philippine Embassy in the United States marked International Women’s Day on 8 March 2021 with a virtual program entitled, “A Panel Discussion with Filipino and Fil-Am Women Writers” featuring Cecilia Manguerra Brainard, Luisa A. Igloria, Migs Bravo Dutt, and Gayle Romasanta. The poet laureate of San Mateo County, California, Aileen Cassinetto, moderated the event.
“It is the first time that the
Philippine Embassy is putting the spotlight on women writers
and today’s event proves to be
more exciting as we will hear and learn from the stories
of the storytellers. We have been more familiar with foreign authors, foreign books, writings, and literature for far too long, especially in a foreign country where knowledge and access about the works of Filipino authors are neither popular nor accessible. Fortunately, we have been seeing an increasing number of Filipinos making a name for themselves in the global publishing scene and making their mark on the printed page around the world,” said the Embassy’s Deputy Chief of Mission Renato Pedro O. Villa in his opening remarks.
The speakers read excerpts from
their published works and shared their respective journeys as Filipino migrant
women, including their influences, sources of inspiration, and challenges. They
spoke about how being Filipino or Filipino-American played a role in their
writing and how they navigated various social issues that the Filipino diaspora
has faced over the years.
