Filipino Young Leaders Program Announces 2022 Immersion Cohort
Washington D.C. – The Filipino Young Leaders Program (FYLPRO), a joint initiative of the Philippine Embassy, Consulates General in the United States, and the Ayala Foundation, Inc. (AFI), is pleased to announce the 2022 FYLPRO Delegates.
This year’s class marks the first in person immersion program in more than two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 2022 FYLPRO Delegates (in alphabetic order) are:
Michelle Amor - New York, New York
Grace Arupo Rodriguez - Roseville, California
Joshua De Leon - Long Beach, California
Daniel Galeon - Montvale, New Jersey
Genevieve Jopanda - San Francisco, California
Michele Josue - Glendale, California
Agnes Lopez - Jacksonville, Florida
Angelo Mathay - Raleigh, North Carolina
Jamille Nagtalon-Ramos - Sicklerville, New Jersey
Constancio Paranal III - Honolulu, Hawaii
Melissa (Michi) Trota - Chicago, Illinois
Danicole Ramos - Waialua, Hawaii
Angelico Razon - Pasadena, California
John Victoria - Arlington, Virginia
Neil Wingkun - Houston, Texas
In the 2022 application cycle, several changes were made that yielded an even more competitive application pool including raising the age limit from 40 to 45 and implementing an application administration fee. The immersion program selection committee also instituted a rigorous first blind cut round and a final virtual interview process where applications went through a series of several reviewers over the course of a multiple week process.
The increased age limit also gave an opportunity to those who would have aged out during the pandemic.
“After a two year hiatus due to the global pandemic, I’m pleased to welcome the next cohort of young leaders to experience the life-changing, transformative experience my 2019 cohort went through,” said 2022 FYLPRO President Leezel Tanglao. “This year’s cohort raises the bar across underrepresented industries and locations. I’m excited for them to join the FYLPRO family and network.”
