LOS ANGELES – The People’s CORE Telecommunications Education and Assistance for Multiple Languages (TEAM) project for the year 2009-2010 is up and running.
This was confirmed by People’s CORE TEAM Project Coordinator, Arturo P. Garcia, this year. People’s CORE has been assisting seniors, low-income people as well as newly arrived immigrants and monolingual immigrants in the Filipino American community on telecommunications issues for the last four years.
On the larger level, the TEAM Project funded by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) last year confirmed that it has given community education to more than 24,000 clients, has resolved more than 946 complaints against telephone companies and has reached out to more than 2 million people in its media and public outreaches.
People’s CORE specifically has helped outreached to more than 1,000 people and facilitated resolution of more than 20 complaints. It also helped in the public outreach of more than a million in media and public fairs and events like the annual Festival of Filipino Arts and Culture (FPAC) and the Asian Lotus Festival in Echo Park.
The TEAM project in California also found out that more than 85% of the people of California use wireless phone (or cell phones) and there is a decline in the use of landlines of about 9%. This is a very significant trend for the last two years.
