Washington D.C. – Among the topics now posted in FYLPROcon.com, panels addressing issues on mental health of the Filipino community will be available on each day of the 3-day conference.

The Filipino Young Leaders Conference on Nov. 4 to 6 just announced its lineup of breakout sessions featuring exciting titles like the following:

Organizers have also planned for a virtual tour of Intramuros, Manila, and late night Karaoke and Filipino Trivia rooms where attendees can hangout and connect with attendees. 

“We want to thank our panel speakers and moderators for sharing their time and expertise,” said Louella Cabalona, FYLPRO president. “Until we can travel freely again, I urge everyone to join us and take advantage of the access you’ll have to thought-leaders and fellow Filipinos at the conference.”

FYLPROCon is a celebration of the bridge between the United States and the Philippines, and is organized by the Filipino Young Leaders Program, the Philippine Embassy in Washington, D.C., and Ayala Foundation, Inc.
