Our two magazines, "Insight" and "Double Yum", are the only braille periodicals produced in the Philippines for the blind.
Insight Magazine is written for blind adults and is sent out six times a year to about 600 braille subscribers
and 100 cassette tape subscribers. We feature stories and testimonies of blind Filipinos, plus articles
of interest about blind people living in other countries. Other sections include tips and techniques for
living with blindness, news about the latest technology for the blind, and articles about blind people
who are gainfully employed. Each issue contains scripture portions in English, Tagalog, Cebuano, Hiligaynon,
and Ilocano dialects.
In order to encourage braille reading skills among children, we produce a bi-weekly braille children's
reader titled Double Yum. This magazine is sent out to 600 blind children and to classes for blind children
around the country. We feature short stories for children, poems, and articles submitted by blind children
themselves from all parts of the country.
