Event: USC Double Book Launch in NYC a Success

New York City – The University of San Carlos (USC) yesterday successfully launched two books authored by its alumni with the support of the Fil-Am Press Club of New York at the Philippine Center on 5th Avenue. The books: In the Belly of the Beast, stories of Human Trafficking, and Creating, Managing, and Distributing Wealth: USC SBE at 80, a coffee table book, were published by the Cebu-based USC Press in its pursuit to encourage faculty and former students to chronicle inspiring life stories and valuable research documents.

Dr. Jose Eleazar Bersales discusses the background of each book, and encourages Filipinos in New York to write inspiring stories that the USC Press may publish.

New York-based journalist and publisher of OSM! wrote In the Belly of the Beast on assignment by the USC Press’s executive editor Dr. Jose Eleazar Bersales and Fr. Generoso Rebayla, the Vice President for Finance of USC. Dr. Challoner Matero, meanwhile, is the author of Creating, Managing, and Distributing Wealth and is currently the chair of the USC School of Business and Economics.
