“This is a rare opportunity to learn about Philippine heritage and culture up close,” said Elena ClarizaUH Philippine Studies librarian. “This exhibit is timely and relevant because it responds to the growing interest in Philippine culture, as attested by the 25 percent increase in the number of students taking Filipino, Ilokano and Philippine studies related courses. It will be of great interest to the larger Filipino community here in Hawaiʻi.”

The events are being held in collaboration with the National Museum of the Philippines, the Office of Philippines Senator Loren Legarda, the Philippine Consulate General in Honolulu and the UH Center for Philippine Studies in the School of Pacific and Asian Studies.
