About Sunday
Punch..
The SUNDAY
PUNCH was founded in July 5, 1956 by the
late Ermin Erfe Garcia as its
editor-publisher. Shortly before he was
murdered in his editorial office last May
20, 1966 in Dagupan City, THE SUNDAY PUNCH
was cited as the Best Edited Provincial
Newspaper in the Philippines by the National
Press Club and Esso Philippines.
Ermin Jr.,
the only son of the late editor-publisher
assumed management of the paper in 1968
after graduating from college. The newspaper
has since been cited by the Philippine Press
Institute and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation
for excellence in journalism, particularly
in economic reporting, editorial writing,
reporting on environment and
photojournalism. It was also cited in a
UNESCO report as one of the 10 most
successful community newspapers in Asia.
In 1997, The
SUNDAY PUNCH, in partnership with BITSTOP, became
the first Filipino community newspaper to
have its online version. Through the years,
the SUNDAY PUNCH has maintained its
commitment to serve the information needs of
overseas Pangasinenses with the help of
overseas Kabaleyans who joined the KABALEYAN
CLUB.
