HONOLULU 02 September 2019 – The Philippine Consulate General in Honolulu organized a Sunset and Fireworks Cruise for Filipino-American young professionals on 23 August 2019 in Honolulu.

This event is part of the Consulate General’s ongoing initiative to engage second and third generation Filipino-Americans.

More than 20 people participated in the mixer including two Hawaii-based alumni of the Filipino Young Leaders Program (FYLPRO).
