“Through this exciting collaboration with the CFO, led by Secretary Klink, we are celebrating the talents and dreams of our kababayans overseas. Just like the CFO, the CCP will ensure that their stories are seen, heard, and honored around the world,” said CCP President Tinga.
Secretary Ang II emphasized the shared vision behind the partnership. “We hope to partner with the CCP in the implementation of CFO’s endeavors. Likewise, we look forward to supporting your programs as we are certain we share the same goals of promoting Filipino heritage across the globe. Rest assured that as your partner, the CFO will lend whatever resources available in the delivery of CCP’s programs for overseas Filipinos,” he said.
Under the agreement, both agencies will collaborate to enhance digital and physical cultural resources, including the Virtual Sentro Rizal. They will also produce educational materials for Philippine schools abroad and diaspora groups, and jointly promote Filipino arts and culture across their platforms.
Among the initiatives included in this collaboration are CFO’s YouLeaD Program and Virtual Sentro Rizal, along with CCP’s Masterclass, Arts Education Programs, Thirteen Artists Awards, Encyclopedia of Philippine Art, 21AM, PPO Young People’s Concert, Pasinaya Open House Festival, and Cultural Exchange Programs.
The two-year partnership is designed to inspire pride, connection, and a deeper understanding of Filipino culture, language, and heritage among Filipinos around the world.
