A story of mine was published in the latest issue of TAYO Literary Magazine.  Check it out whenever you have a moment … ***** TAYO Literary Magazine © 2012–2013, Issue 4 ISSN (print) 2164-0270, (online) 2164-0289 Full-Color Version | $25.00 Black-and-White Version | $10.00 View Magazine Online Now in its fourth year of existence, TAYO has become our community’s leading publication featuring exemplary literary and art works that speak to the Filipino and Filipino American experience. Over the years, TAYO has become an increasingly global publication, with our contributors hailing from all around the world. As executive director, I’ve witnessed TAYO grow from a mere idea born out of a brainstorm session over lunch in Los Angeles to the established publication it is with a team dispersed across North America. Indeed, this speaks to the truth that a clear vision and idea—giving Filipinos everywhere a chance to be heard—can transcend time and space. I beam with pride and overflow with respect for the key individuals who help continue to make TAYO a reality: Melissa Sipin, Paolo de la Fuente, Edward Mallillin, Michael Maglalang, and the rest of our staff. Without your time and effort, TAYO would cease to be an important medium where talented writers and artists showcase their work to the community and magnify their powerful message to the world. This year, TAYO’s creative director, Melissa Sipin, hosted a political workshop in partnership with Anakbayan–East Bay, the comprehensive, national democratic mass organization of Filipino youth. In a series of five free writing workshops, she led and helped guide participants to shape their memoir, poetry, prose, or performance with an emphasis on impacting perceptions and the political in nuanced writing prompts. Next year, TAYO is planning to expand its focus and feature a special edition dedicated solely to highlighting first-rate literary and art works submitted by youth. Through these and other initiatives, TAYO remains alive and well, serving as a consistent force in the literary and creative world for our community. After all, we must always continue to strive to produce work “for our culture, by our culture” that will live on through the ages and serve as an artifact on which future generations may look back on and reflect. On behalf of the entire staff, we would like to thank you for your support and enthusiasm for TAYO and the arts. We hope you enjoy our fourth issue! In solidarity, Kristine A. Co Melissa R.
