NEW YORK 12 April 2024 – The Philippine Consulate General in New York hosted alumni, volunteers, and prospective participants of the Filipino Young Leaders Program (FYLPRO) for the New York segment of the FYLPRO Magiting Roadshow on 03 April at the Philippine Center.

FYLPRO is a distinguished leadership initiative that empowers exceptional Filipino Americans to enact positive change. It fosters a network of dynamic leaders committed to promoting the interests of the Filipino diaspora and participating in global dialogues on diversity and leadership.

The event offered an invaluable chance for Filipino American youth to connect with FYLPRO members, alumni, and partners; discover FYLPRO's initiatives; and gain insights into the FYLPRO 2024 immersion program.

Consul General Mangalile expressed enthusiasm about the event, stating, "I commend FYLPRO for gathering a remarkable community of dynamic and passionate young Filipino leaders, united by the shared commitment to a brighter future for the Philippines and the Filipino people.”

The FYLPRO Magiting Roadshow, which commenced at the Philippine Embassy in Washington D.C. on 13 March, will continue its journey after New York City, visiting other U.S. cities including Jacksonville, Houston, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Honolulu.
