Filipino Young Leaders Program

Founded in 2012 by Former Ambassador Jose L. Cuisia, Jr. and Mrs. Victoria J. Cuisia with support from the Ayala Foundation Inc., the Filipino Young Leaders Program (FYLPRO) serves as a vital bridge connecting Filipino communities across the United States to their homeland and to one another. Operating from Carson City, NV, FYLPRO is built on a foundation of shared Filipino values including kapwa, bayanihan, and pride in Filipino identity, creating a supportive ecosystem where emerging leaders can thrive and contribute meaningfully. The organization's mission centers on fostering collaborative multinational relationships that drive innovation and support the socio-economic progress of the global Filipino community. FYLPRO continuously expands its network of high-performing young professionals across various industries, providing them with access to distinguished mentors, government officials, and business leaders who share a commitment to advancing Filipino interests. The program values integrity, accountability, preservation of history, leadership, and compassion—principles that guide every initiative and relationship within the network. By connecting young leaders in the diaspora with opportunities and insights rooted in the Philippines, FYLPRO cultivates a thriving future built upon the strength of Filipino identity and global community connections. Members benefit from meaningful relationships, professional development, and the opportunity to be part of a movement that honors Filipino heritage while driving contemporary progress and innovation.
