May 1, 2014
On April 29, 2014, I contacted Dr. Parapara from the Pilipino Educators Network (PEN), a teacher organization based in Maryland inviting him and his organization to join the FPAE. Tonight, April 30, 2014, Dr. Parapara responded to my messages and I explained to him briefly what FPAE is all about. I referred Dr. Parapara to this blog to give him an idea of the origins of FPAE. I informed Dr. Parapara that FPAE would be an advocacy organization composed of teacher organizations in the United States with an immediate goal of having a stronger voice for the issues concerning teachers in the United States. We agreed to set-up a teleconference in which the other organizations originally signed up with FPAE will be in attendance. I will try to have the teleconference scheduled sometime in May. Dr. Parapara also informed me that one of their Executive Director will be in attendance in the teleconference. I will inform Essy from AFTEA and Belen Castillo from ACE to join me in meeting Dr. Parapara and his colleague sometime in May, 2014. Earlier today, I already emailed Essy about the possibility of a teleconference and I am awaiting for her response. I am in the process of talking to two West Coast teacher organizations. Hopefully, the two West Coast teacher organizations will already be on board with FPAE by the time AFTA, AFTEA, ACE, and PEN attends the teleconference to be scheduled sometime in May, 2014.

Minutes of the FPAE Meeting, April 3, 2010, Lilia’s Residence
The meeting began at 11:30 A.M.
Attendance: Celia Morales, May Acero, Lumen Castaneda, Edna Alcantara, Lilia Juele, Mercy Dungog, and Chit Ros
A suggestion to alternate the meeting venue from a Manhattan site to a member’s residence and the day from Friday to Saturday in order to minimize travel and expenses of attendees and for increased getting-to-know-you opportunities for the members. (Ex. Saturday at a member’s residence one month then in Manhattan on a Friday the following month, and a member’s place one Saturday the next month, and so on.)
FPAE Original Goal: FPAE is a collaborative group; member organizations keep their unique identity; support and help member organizations to flourish by making FPAE resources available to them.
What do we want to do? FPAE can be a clearinghouse of information, a go-to place for information that we may be able to provide re education, Filipino educators, etc. Each member organization’s web site will be linked to the FPAE blog or site.
Individual members are accepted; invite Fil-Ed of Baltimore and Filipino Teachers’ Network of Prince George (Maryland) since these two organizations wish to be a part of an umbrella group. Lilia is sending them a formal invitation to join the federation.
The development of the Task and Mission has been overdue. The current executive officers of FPAE are presidents of their own organizations and are quite busy running them. Some questions are raised, such as
How committed is each one of us to continue with FPAE?
Can we regroup so that those who can and are willing to do the work will be appointed to an office that is otherwise inactive? Lilia will contact via email all FPAE incorporators/individual members to find out about their intent to continue with their membership or position.
Next meeting will be on Friday, April 23, 2010 at the Phil. Consulate Library (if available) or Smiler’s (next to the Phil. Center) at 6:00 P.M. Agenda: Invitational get-together to inform about the federation and to network; resolve our thrust-educator or education? finalize mission statement.
The May meeting will be at Chit’s place in Ozone Park, Queens on Saturday, May 22, 2010. A get-to-know-the-members gathering is planned to take place around the third week of June.

Attendance: Essy Malibiran, Bella Estanislao, Edna Alcantara, Chit Ros, Miliza Romero, Lilia Juele, and Joel Agustin
The meeting started at 6:35 P.M. after a light snack.
Lilia reported that a blog has been created to give information about the federation and for the members to post comments and reply to emails from the group (in the absence of an FPAE website). Due to AFTEA’s withdrawal from the federation, it is no longer one of the incorporators of the federation, but it was agreed that FPAE will be open to individual membership. Hence, the body accepted the membership of Edna Alcantara, Essy Malibiran, Joel Agustin, and May Hope Acero, all of AFTEA. (Presently, the incorporators of the federation are ACES, AFTA, and Fil-Am NEEDS.)
Balikturo was conducted by Nellie Gabatino, Edna Santos, Chit Ros, Rose Tan, and Lino Arca of AFTA and Joel Agustin and May Hope Acero of AFTEA. They are requested to furnish Lilia the titles and location of the workshops for posting on the blog.

Discussion on Mission and Objectives
FPAE’s Mission Statement: (still a work in progress)
The Federation of Philippine American Educators is a not-for-profit research and advocacy group established to contribute in the pursuit of educational excellence.
It was agreed that if FPAE does what other organizations are doing, there is no reason for it to exist. FPAE will support other organizations as researchers and advocates for education. (There is a suggestion to make the name unique in that it should reflect its being an advocate FOR EDUCATION, as opposed to FOR EDUCATORS. One suggestion was FEDERATION OF PHILIPPINE AMERICANS FOR EDUCATION).
Some Starting Points with Objectives were:
a. Address issues in education affecting not only Phil-American educators but the whole community of educators
Pursue research in various areas of expertise or subject matter to further the knowledge and expertise of educational colleagues
Establish partnership with other education-related organizations in pursuing joint ventures and projects
Create a clearing house of research materials from various resources and members.
Agenda for the next meeting will be the setting up of the objectives.
Ideas for Projects
*Identify issue and influence legislation for special education in the Philippines
*Design a manual for new Filipino teacher orientation

Finalizing our Mission Statement
As we have agreed, we will use this blog to discuss, agree and finalize the mission statement of FPAE. From our meetings, the mission is tentatively stated as:
