The Philippine Consulate General in Honolulu, the Office of Senator Loren Legarda, and the Department of Foreign Affairs (called here as PCGH-Legarda) donated to the Center in 2022. This donation created a project that supported visiting scholars, provided scholarships for the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa students, and developed Philippine-related courses.
Six visiting scholars from the Philippines and the United States came to UH to give lectures and performances, ten students received scholarships, and three Philippine related courses were developed and integrated into the Filipino language program of the Indo-Pacific Languages and Literatures. The latter revived the Philippine Kulintang class and supported two high-demand culture courses for the BA in Philippine Language and Culture at the University.
