                        Wednesday, July 30, 2008

  Ms. SOLIS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the achievements 
of Joey Quinto, publisher of the California Journal for Filipino 
Americans.
  Mr. Quinto was born and educated in the Philippines, where he 
received a Bachelor of Science in Marketing from San Beda College in 
Manila, Philippines. He also graduated from the Minority Business 
Executive Programs of the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth in 
Hanover, New Hampshire. Mr. Quinto now resides with his wife Carlyn and 
daughter Carlette in Palos Verdes, California.
  Mr. Quinto's contributions to the advancement of the API community 
are many. He began his professional career in California in 1984 as a 
mortgage banker. As a publisher, his weekly newspaper advances the 
interests of the API community and appropriately addresses local, 
consumer and business news, and community events. He is also a member 
of several community organizations. These include the Los Angeles 
Minority Business Opportunity Committee and The Greenlining Coalition.
  His contributions have been widely recognized. Mr. Quinto is the 
recipient of the Award for Excellence in Journalism during the Fourth 
Annual Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Awards in celebration of the 
Asian Pacific Islander American Heritage Month. This award recognizes 
prominent APIs that have excelled in bringing pertinent news to the API 
community. He previously was listed among the Star Suppliers of the 
Year of the Southern California Regional Purchasing Council in 1999, 
received the Minority Media Award from the U.S. Small Business 
Administration in 1997, and has also earned a leadership award from the 
Filipino American Chamber of Commerce based in Los Angeles.
  Madam Speaker, I hope that my colleagues will join me in 
congratulating Joey Quinto for his years of service to the API 
community. Through his tireless work effort he has demonstrated that 
the American dream is possible.
