Speak Out is a weekly current affairs talk show, for 2nd generation Filipinos to freely express their ideas, opinions, and concerns on hot issues. It also serves as a means to bridge the gap between 1st and 2nd generation Filipinos to better understand one another and the issues that the community faces. The show airs nationwide on The Filipino Channel (TFC) through cable and satellite. We film our show in Redwood City, California, about 20 minutes south of San Francisco.

They are looking for six panelists, first or second generation, Filipino preferred, who have passion for our topics. Three panelists support and three that oppose the topic moderated by two of our hosts. We strive for a balanced debate and hope you can refer someone that may be able to “Speak Out".
