About the AAP
Officially founded on October 20, 2010, the Astronomers Anonymous of the Philippines (AAP) started from the ideas of absindex who have been providing quality telescopes in the Philippines for enthusiasts and hobbyists together Marvin Xylon Jaen and Crisel Tungala who has great interest and love for astronomy.
The AAP launched at Crisel Tungala's blogsite Now Showing and has been spread to various enthusiasts and customers of absindex.
Mission - Vision
AAP aims to be a community of amateurs as well as non-amateurs that is anchored on sharing their knowledge on equipment, experiences and techniques to each other for the development and improvement of amateur observational astronomy in the Philippines. Moreover, the AAP aims to propagate and introduce amateur astronomy to the Filipino communities who have not been blessed with having their own telescopes or to those who have no prior experience when it comes to astronomy but has a deep desire and love for the cosmos.
AAP envisions a Philippines that will excel in scientific fields especially astronomy. By having a common platform where members can share and contribute their knowledge, the AAP aims to be at par with other astronomical organizations in the Philippines as well as observers from first-world countries. Through various member initiatives and efforts, AAP seeks to develop awareness and love for the cosmos among the Filipino youth and to hobbyists alike.
