                       Tuesday, October 21, 2025

  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Gloria Malgapo, 
a distinguished community leader, advocate, and early member of the 
Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs Association (APAPA), 
whose service has strengthened civic engagement and representation for 
Asian Americans across Solano County. Ms. Malgapo has been an integral 
leader within the APAPA organization since its earliest days, serving 
as one of the founding members of both the Solano County Chapter and 
the National Organization. Through her leadership, she helped lay the 
foundation for an enduring network dedicated to empowering Asian 
American and Pacific Islander communities through civic participation 
and public service. As Vice President of APAPA Solano County, Ms. 
Malgapo has played a pivotal role in expanding local outreach, building 
partnerships, and encouraging civic involvement among emerging leaders. 
She has been a tireless advocate for APAPA's internship program, 
ensuring that students and young professionals have meaningful 
opportunities to learn about government, leadership, and civic 
responsibility at the local, state, and federal level. Ms. Malgapo has 
been deeply involved in community and civic events throughout the City 
of Vallejo and the broader Filipino American community county-wide. Her 
efforts have elevated the voices of Asian Americans in local and 
regional decision-making. Her work reflects the very best of civic 
engagement. On behalf of the people of California's 8th Congressional 
District, I am honored to recognize Ms. Gloria Malgapo for her 
extraordinary leadership, her lifelong dedication to public service, 
and her enduring commitment to advancing civic engagement and 
representation for the Asian American and Pacific Islander community.
