Did a search for info on the "Philippines" (P or PI) at San Diego City College's Library. Here are some results that I thought were interesting.
One of my interests is plants; some of these titles reflect that. Other interests include SCUBA diving, Baguio City, and Palawan - in the SW part of PI.
My tentative plans are to meet up with a few women in AC, take one to the Baguio area, and then perhaps also take her to Palawan.
The following is all one web site address, the "?" are needed, and the "0" are zeroes, not letters:
texts.cdlib.org/dynaxml/servlet/BookView?source=eschol/2752/2752.xml&style=eschol/xsl/dynaxml/dynaxml.xsl&Chunk.id=d0e4081
Looking at the huge bibliography of this on-line out-of-print book, the following were chosen:

San Diego County Filipino-Americans publish "Mabuhay News," free. One distribution point is in Chula Vista at the Philippino restaurant in the shopping center on the north side of Telegraph Canyon Road, about a block east of I-805. Probably many other Philippino restaurants carry it. It mostly has news from the Philippines; some on local San Diegans. It does not appear to be on the web.

I will be at all of those events as it is mandatory in my Tagalog class at Miramar......my class has tons of hotties but American Born Filipinas are much fatter these days. The problem is that most of them are second generation Filipinas and it is really tough to get them to believe that they can date and marry outside of the Filipino race....they go to high schools (Mira Mesa, Sweetwater) that are 90% Filipino and know no other way...it's the third generation that you have to pounce on...they have no prejudices from peers and family and are ready for anything.
