Positively Filipino

Positively Filipino We are POSITIVELY FILIPINO, the premier digital native magazine for Filipinos in the diaspora. We are Positively Filipino. Ricarte.

Your window on the Filipino diaspora of nearly 13 million expatriates. Positively Filipino news articles, features, editorials, blogs, videos are for Filipinos who may be temporarily working abroad to support families back home or have set roots and reinvented lives in adopted countries the world over. Positively Filipino is an online information resource for all compatriots. It chronicles the experience of the global Filipino in all its complexity. Similarly, it keeps expatriates in touch with political, economic and cultural developments in the homeland. Positively Filipino is a global plaza for sharing ideas, creative works and opinions. It serves as a venue for the frank exploration of our collective challenges both in the homeland and the diaspora. Positively Filipino celebrates our people’s heritage and achievements and is a proud promoter of role models and achievers. Positively Filipino is also an advocate of Filipinos who may face injustice and discrimination in their temporary or adopted homes. It initiates or participates in campaigns that uphold their rights. In America in the 1930s, Filipino immigrants often faced rejection and racism--a hotel in Stockton, California even posted a warning: “Positively No Filipinos Allowed" (see http://madlangbayan.tumblr.com/post/89745185/positively-no-filipinos-allowed-1945-hotel)

Kababayans are positively welcome here, positively allowed to celebrate our heritage, and positively encouraged to explore our experiences. Founders:
