However, due to building-management regulations and the limited number of guests that can be accommodated at the Rizal Hall of the Philippine Consulate, interested parties are requested to confirm in advance their participation by sending an e-mail, with your name, contact details and name of organization being represented, to the Information Section of the Consulate (info_pcgenla@yahoo.com) not later than 12:00 noon of 27 February 2008.

This is the third visit to Los Angeles in two years of Secretary Saludo, who has faced courageously the Filipino-American Fourth Estate in Southern California. On the earlier occasions, Mr. Saludo came out “alive” and well after holding a no-holds-barred press conference with the Fil-Am media.

Photos of Secretary Saludo's forum at the Philippine Consulate General in 2007 were taken by Photojournalist Rene Villaroman.
