The Kapwa Leadership Journey delegation met with academic and student leaders of De La Salle University to exchange leadership ideas.

It was an honor to meet Atty. Angelo Jimenez, President of the University of the Philippines. President Jiminez shared his views about leadership with the Kapwa Leadership Journey group from San Diego County.

The Honorary Consul led a delegation entitled Kapwa Leadership Journey in early February 2026. Over 20 Filipino-Americans from San Diego County went to Metro Manila to learn about Filipino history and exchange ideas with various leaders from De La Salle University, University of the Philippines, Baseco Village and Gawad Kalinga, Baseco. The group heard from leaders of all types, including academic, student bodies, informal settlements and village leaders.

There is something very special about the Philippines - besides the beautiful beaches, great food, and huge malls. It is the Filipino people. They welcome you very warmly. They share their lives with you. They remember you when you return. They treat you like family. If you need to feel more love, visit the Philippines!
