I hail from a remote island in the Philippines – Ticao Island. I grew up without the amenities of modern living, which is basically the television and electricity. But we have copies of the Philippine Free Press that my father, a retired principal, would buy during his infrequent travels to the city. My father lovingly compiled and stored copies which I discovered neatfully stacked in cartoons and even rice sacks. I begun to read PFP since elementary days – reading and reading them till my eyes strain under the flicker of gas lamp. I owe much of my intellectual and cultural development to PFP – at a time and place where we seem to be so far away from the center of ‘civilization’.
Thank you for putting up this online edition which is now more accessible to wider readership. I hope the younger generation would take interest of our past as they pursue their dreams to the future.
I wrote an article about Canada, Caregiver Anybody? which was in fact published in September 2001. I lost my copy of FreePress and I do so want to have one as a memento. Is it possible to ask for a copy of that issue? If I am not mistaken it was published on the 2nd week of September 2001. Thanks so much.
good evening, i’m looking for materials about alfredo montelibano, sr. of negros occidental. i was wondering if you had articles written about him. i can’t seem to find any on your website, though i found a finely written profile of jose yulo by leon ma. guerrero. was wondering if you might have a similar profile on alfredo montelibano, sr. thanks.
I remember growing up reading copies of the Philippines Free Press and find articles that are well written and very intellectual. There are always commentaries of bold and independent thinking. I’m glad I found your site as this has rekindled my interest in the Filipino way of writings.
Thank you and I hope you’ll keep the site always online for every Filipino to enjoy.
I first heard about the Philippines Free Press from my mother. She said that my beloved late grandfather was a regular subscriber to the magazine. However, it was during my college years in the mid-1980s when I really “discovered” and enjoyed reading the magazine. I attended college at De La Salle University and I saw that they maintained back issues of the Philippines Free Press as part of their Filipiniana collection, I remember reading selected issues from way back in the 1930s up to the magazine’s last pre-martial law issue in 1972. Needless to say, I was hooked. It was like a trip back in time, back to the issues and events that have become part of our nation’s history. I wish the current staff of the Free Press all the best and I look forward to seeing this magazine back as the premier newsweekly in our country! Godspeed!
help!help!help!I want to know all about the press of Philippines.

Hi,
I was a newspaper boy in my high school years and Philippines Free Press magazine was one of the “best buy” we had then. Now I’m an author, and i’m writing the 2nd edition of my book. I’m collecting “funny” short stories and a couple of weeks ago I found a collection of short stories dated year 1953-1963. these short stories were taken from PFP by my father-in-law, in your articles “This Made Me Laugh.” He cut and pasted it in a card board and kept it for more than 50 years! I’m asking permission to use some of the stories and will put the name of the contributor, date and name of your magazine. More power to all who started and faithfully doing their best for this one of a kind magazine. Hope for your consideration to my request. Godbless!

My name is Cecille Belen from Laguna. I am doing a research of Ateneo (NCAA) basketball players from way back 1960 to around 1964. I was referred to your office as a place to start my research. Will you kindly help me as where I should go to get old pictures and news clips of those days? I am doing this favor to my old grandfathers friend who in his old age wants nothing else but a glimpse of their old “victory days” at those times. I was told their names were in the history of Ateneo and were written in your newspapers particularly in the sports section. They won the NCAA championship dated Dec. 12 of either 1961 and/or 1962 and again in 1965. I would like to see the articles and some pictures from your newspapers and I would like to find out more about it. I have high hopes that I will receive a reply from you. Thank you very much.

Dear Editor of The Philippine Free Press
My uncle was the first Filipino pen and ink artist of the Philippines and He was a regular contributor to the Philippine Free Press. He was also a very good painter and his works now command a price and a demand especially by our museums in the Philippines. I now live in the United States but I will appreciate your help. My uncle’s name is Jose Pereira, one of his paintings was the “signing of the philippine constitution” which my aunt says is now owned by the old Recto family. I am wondering if it is possible to search in your archives to find old dopies of my uncle’s work. Unfortunately, he passed away in the early 1950s and did not have a chnace to flourish. Please reply if you can help. Thank you very much.

Hi there! I’m from Cebu City. My father used to collect Free Press magazines & even Bisaya magazine from Liwayway Publishing long before I was born (that would be more than 35yrs ago). He was a member of Cebu’s LUDABI. He died in 1996 & he left behind a cabinet full of old magazines which some were more than 100yrs old. My mom is planning to renovate our house & as much I want to keep the magazines, I think its just “excess baggage”. Please help me find anybody that would like to buy these magazines coz I would gladly let go of it than just keep it in a cabinet & let dust accumulate on it.
Thank you.

Good morning. I am looking for a copy of an article written about my late grandfather, Juan O. Resurreccion. My mother, who is nearly 80 years old, asked me to look for the article entitled “The Kind of Man This World Needs” written by Teodoro M. Locsin Sr. She said that the abovementioned article title might not be exactly what she recalled it to be but that it was close. Can you please help me find a copy of that issue or point me to where I could get a copy? My mother is turning 80 this February 2009; I would love to give her a copy as a gift. Thank you very much.

Hello all friends – and family. I am a grandson of Helen (Nellie) Earnshaw (née Boustead), an early love of none other than José Rizal, as is well-documented. According to a Rizal blog, your paper, in 1956, carried some unique images connected with, or of, Rizal (and/or his friends/colleagues) but I have not been able to trace this. Please can you provide?
At the same time I am attempting to fill many gaps in the Earnshaw (my Mother’s maiden name, b. Manila, 1901) family tree. Amongst the gaps is a lady named: Olympia Noguera y Earnshaw, a daughter of Daniel Earnshaw*. If anyone can throw any light upon her and her family, that would be greatly appreciated.
*(Daniel Earnshaw (1837 – 1901) an engineer who arrived in Manila from England in 1861, and who in 1872 started his own engineering company in the Philippines. He had a son, also Daniel, who became Mayor of Manila and after whom the street of that name in Manila is taken.)
I would like to ask if you are accepting contributions of short fictions and poetry written in Tagalog version. I have some here so please let me know.
Maryku: My priority – along with those of Wendy Earnshaw, whom the web has introduced as distant relatives in the extended family of Nellie Earnshaw (née Boustead), is to find relatives amongst the antecedents and descendants of those families… …we are not in a position to publish Tagalog or any other material – except to welcome relevant entries in this blog… …we have had no response as yet to my request for access to the 1956 article and images…
san po kontak numbers nyo, pwede po paki post man lang sa website. salamat po.

Hi!
We have been doing a research about the origin and evolution of “Juan Dela Cruz” as the representation of the Filipino People and have found out that Robert McCulloch Dick, PFP’s founder, was the first person to coin the term. We are hoping that you can help us with some published articles, a biography of PFP’s founder, and other documents that will be considered as primary sources for our research. We do hope for your assistance regarding this matter.
PS Apologizing for the grammar errors in advance
I’ve never felt so pressured writing a comment especially since you people, are experts in the fields of word play, punctuation placements, and subject-verb agreements

Thank You.
I am currently teaching Literature and I am doing reseach on the old Philippine Free Press as part of my lessons. Please help.
I am a book author (2 of my books are on sale with a well known book store) and at a time, article contributor of a supplemental magazine of a known newspaper. Sirs, can I contribute articles for publication in the Free Press? Thank you.
I am currently doing a study on why prices of medicines are higher here in the Philippines. Would you have some materials that may further be useful?
I have just recently known about the Free Press’ literature awards. can you help me? i wanna know how to join the contest, and where can i get the form. we actually dont have issue of the Free Press roaming around here in Bulacan.
The discovery of the online edition of the Philippines Free Press took me back to memory lane. Reading back issues of PFP from my father’s collection in the early 70’s was my first brush with the literary world. Even as I finished an engineering degree, the love for writing had somehow caught up with me. I am a regular columnist of the Masbate Post. Thanks to PFP. I got the cue from you.
I am currently searching for the art works of my late uncle Jose Valdezco Pereira and would appreciate if you could please provide directions to complete the missing links.
I heard about the art exhibition wherein some of his art works were exhibited together with Amorsolo’s contemporaries at the Vargas Museum in 2008, I have actually sent an email seeking directions.
To whom it may concern,
I am trying to arrange reproduction rights for an article that appeared in the Philippine Free Press. Who should I contact on this matter?
Thank you for your assistance.
My mother was once a cover of the PHilippine Free press, that was on the 1930s i think if i’m not mistaken, her name is Lourdes Neri Pelaez. Please help me find that issue i just want to see the cover, if it be possible that you could e mail it to me. My mother passed away already. Thanks so much.
