Congratulations to the Filipinx students during the FilGrad 2024 Ceremony!

At long last, their efforts were rewarded, making their parents and loved ones very proud. Kudos also to the student organizers, including Jensen Villaflor, an honoree who received a scholarship grant from the Center for Philippine Studies CPS is a major sponsor of this year’s FILGRAD.

The significance of this event, which started only in 2017, is discussed by Jonathan Y. Okamura in an article published by Civil Beat.
