PHILIPPINE STUDIES AT ALICANTE
The Philippine Studies Program (PSP) at the University of Alicante was formally launched on 21 November 2024, marking a historic expansion of Philippine academic diplomacy in the Mediterranean. As the first program of its kind under the jurisdiction of the Philippine Consulate General in Barcelona, it was made possible through the instrumental support of Senator Loren Legarda.
Coordinated by the distinguished scholar Professor Dr. Isaac Donoso, the program is designed as a customized degree track within the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters. It focuses on a "circularity of culture," offering Spanish and international students a nuanced understanding of the Philippines that bridges its deep Hispanic heritage with its dynamic, modern identity as a Southeast Asian leader.
