With the age of Digital and Online Journalism happening, Newspapers remain to be one of the pillars of the modern world existing and still fighting against many media platform today. That’s the real message of Philippine Press Institute, also known as the national association of Philippine newspapers since 1964 as they hold the annual National Press Forum last July 4 to 6 at the Hotel Jen in Manila.
Celebrating the 55th year as an association, and 23rd year for the forum, PPI remains to be the best venue of data gathering directly from selected speakers who share an opinion, ideas, and suggestion for the nation building.

Senator Aquilino “Nene” Pimentel, Jr is the keynote speaker of the forum last July 5, he delivers meaningful and full insights about federalism. Pimental said that many Filipinos until now still do not understand the concept of federalism, and he believes it’s the media who still have the big role in educating the majority about this government system that the current administration is pursuing. Pimentel is a member of the consultative committee.
Other speakers include former Commissions on Elections Chairman Atty. Christian Monsod, Erwin Caliba, chief of the Legal, Legislative and Linkages of the Policy Advisory Office of the Commission of Human Rights, and Cheryl Daytec-Yangot, former Justice assistant secretary and a lecturer on issues concerning Indigenous Peoples and Gotz Heinicke, resident representative of PPI partner Hanns Seidel Foundation.
