Immersion Program
Every year, FYLPRO works with the Philippine Embassy and the Consulates General in the United States to search for the most outstanding, next-generation Filipinos in the United States to participate in its distinguished Immersion Program in the Philippines.
FYLPRO IMMERSION PROGRAM DEFERRED UNTIL 2021
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and considering the health and safety of our future delegates and DFA and Ayala partners, we regret to report that we are deferring the fall 2020 immersion trip to 2021.
The deferment will allow our respective organizations to focus on COVID-19 responses and related programs, while providing sufficient time for us to make the necessary preparations for the next immersion.
