Composed of professional photographers with ties to the media, this organization is affiliated with Press Photographers of the Philippines, which it looks up too as its progenitor.
PPP (USA) holds a series of photo exhibits over the years. Photo above was the exhibit held at the Rizal Hall of the Philippine Consul General Los Angeles in 2005.
