Following a successful webinar on anti-Asian racism, presented in partnership with Asia Society, Manila House gained some international exposure when the Washington, DC-based NCTA - The Internet and Television Association tapped our Director of PR and Arts, Culture and Education Programs, Bambina Olivares, to put together a webinar for the organization in order to spotlight Asian Heritage Month in the United States. Joining her were Professor Vicente Rafael of the University of Washington, Seattle, and Joy de Guzman of Asian-Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC.

The NCTA represents the innovators and creators in an industry building the world’s most powerful technology platform and creating exciting content and services that entertain, inform and inspire consumers every day. It includes some of the largest entertainment and communications companies as members, such as AOL, Comcast, Showtime, Viacom, Discovery and Disney, to name a few. Attending the webinar was NCTA President and CEO, MIchael Powell, who served in both the Clinton and Bush Administrations as Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.
