#Immersion: FYLPRO Announces 2026 Immersion Program Delegates

The Filipino Young Leaders Program (FYLPRO) today announced the ten delegates selected for its 2026 Immersion Program, marking the organization’s twelfth cohort of emerging leaders.

This year’s cohort also marks an important milestone in FYLPRO’s continued growth across North America with the expansion of the program to Canada. This expansion builds on the work that FYLPRO has undertaken over several years to intentionally build and strengthen relationships with Filipino Canadian leaders, organizations, and communities. This expansion reflects FYLPRO’s broader commitment to creating and strengthening connections among Filipinos around the world, whether in the Philippines, the United States, Canada, or elsewhere in the global Filipino diaspora.

FYLPRO is excited to announce the 2026 Delegation, which includes, for the first time in the organization’s history, Filipino Canadian representation. The 2026 Delegates are:

Monica Batac — Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Drea Castro — Glendale, California
Angelica Cortez — San Jose, California
Joel de Vera Moncada — Vallejo, California
Michelle Garcia — Lanesborough, Massachusetts
Lillie Madali — Atlanta, Georgia
Joseph Navales — Eastvale, California
Ria Pretekin — Chicago, Illinois
Caroline Raquel — New York, New York
Carlo Velayo — Decatur, Georgia

The 2026 Immersion Program will take place November 29 through December 4 in Metro Manila and Bulacan, where delegates will meet directly with leaders across government, business, nonprofit organizations, and local communities, while gaining a deeper understanding of the issues, opportunities, and lived experiences shaping the Philippines and the Filipino diaspora today.

One year later, and… wth is happening?

October 7th is already a painful enough day. It’s definitely no coincidence that Yaakub was taken that day of all days. Since then, it’s been phone banks, campaign meetings, and constantly speaking out to bring awareness. Yet after all that, he remains illegally detained.

A lot can happen in a year, and just as much can be revealed. Gratitude can be expressed in only so many words for those who’ve become an unexpected support system this past year. Words to express my anger over the communities, journalists, and news organizations who haven’t done anything to speak out or bring attention to his case are equally as limited.

It’s this lack of awareness, combined with this unwillingness to speak out are factors as to why Yaakub remains locked up to this day, when he deserves SO MUCH BETTER than that. Do you not know how the poem goes by now? While it’s Yaakub today, eventually it’ll be YOU that’s being targeted.

There’s SO MUCH talk of ancestors, that it’s practically at the expense of the living. Yaakub is still here and needs WAY more help than he’s been given.

One year later… and how much longer do we go from here?

This Filipino American History Month, we invite you to BROWN OUT: ILLUMINATING LAYERS✨ an evening of history, memory, storytelling, and community through the photographs of Ricardo Ocreto Alvarado.

Alvarado’s photographs documented the everyday lives of Filipino Americans in the Bay Area: celebrations, families, labor, friendship, service, and the ordinary moments that become history with time.

On October 8, we return to those images together, to ask what they can tell us about who we are now and what we choose to carry forward.

The evening will include selections from the archive, readings from Claiming Our Stories: An Anthology of Intergenerational Writings, a commemoration of Filipino American veterans, and voices from across our community.

Thursday, October 8, 2026
7–9 PM
Kalayaan Hall
Philippine Consulate General, San Francisco
447 Sutter Street

Light refreshments will be served.

Come activate the archive with us. 🇵🇭

RSVP at the link in bio.

FROM ASIA TO NORTH AMERICA 🌏✈️🌎

Following our successful 2026 Philippine Investment Mission across Asia and Oceania, ACGlobal is bringing the conversation to North America this October:

🇨🇦 Toronto | October 1–5
🗽 New York | October 6–10
🌴 Los Angeles | October 11–15
🌉 San Francisco | October 16–20
🏛️ Washington, DC | October 21–30

As global businesses diversify supply chains, accelerate digital transformation and explore new growth markets, the Philippines is emerging as a strategic gateway to ASEAN—home to more than 680 million people.

The mission will feature high-level meetings, investment roundtables, strategic dialogues and the international launch of Why Invest in the Philippines? — CREATE MORE Edition.

Our sincere appreciation to our strategic partners, the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) and the Philippine Franchise Association (PFA), for supporting this global investment mission.
