France Alumni Philippines Association launch at Raffles Long Bar

MANILA, Philippines — As the number of Filipinos pursuing their studies in France continues to grow, the France Alumni Philippines Association (FAPA) launched last December 5 at the Raffles Long Bar, providing Filipino alumni of French higher education institutions a venue for professional networking and career development.

Campus France Philippines records over 250 Filipino students currently residing in France, with many of them pursuing degrees in world-renowned institutions of higher learning.

FAPA is a members-only association that works closely with French businesses and organizations in the Philippines. Following its creation, FAPA offers the following events in 2020: a French Pop-Up where French companies can showcase their products and services, career and business matching events, and the annual Soirée Alumni that will bring together the community of French-educated Filipinos.

With the support of the French Embassy, the Alliance Française de Manille, Campus France Philippines, and the CCE-French Foreign Trade Advisors in the Philippines, FAPA is fully engaged to offer numerous career, business, and social opportunities for its members.
