ENFiD ITALY COURTESY CALL | Philippine Consulate General in Milan

The officers of ENFiD-Italia paid a courtesy call on Consul General JT San Agustin at the Philippine Consulate General in Milan.

The meeting provided an opportunity to formally introduce the ENFiD-Italia Executive Committee 2026–2028, present the organisation’s vision and priorities, and discuss possible areas of cooperation in support of Filipino communities across Italy.

Among the areas explored were community outreach and access to government information and services, OFW welfare and empowerment, youth and next-generation leadership, financial literacy and entrepreneurship, and the promotion of Filipino culture, identity and heritage.

More importantly, the meeting opened a meaningful conversation on how ENFiD-Italia can help strengthen the connection between Filipino communities and Philippine institutions — complementing existing government programs while creating more opportunities for communication, participation and collaboration.

We sincerely thank Consul General JT San Agustin and the Philippine Consulate General in Milan for the warm welcome, valuable exchange, and openness to future cooperation.

ENFiD-Italia looks forward to building partnerships toward a Connected, Empowered and Engaged Filipino Community in Italy.

💚 DIGNITY BEGINS WITH THE BASICS.

Through Project A.R.C. – ACCESS, ENFiD-Italia aims to provide hygiene kits and essential personal-care items to abused and vulnerable children.

Something as simple as soap, shampoo, a toothbrush, or toothpaste may seem small—but having access to these everyday necessities can help a child feel clean, cared for, confident, and valued.

🧼 ACCESS means more than providing essentials.
It means restoring dignity, well-being, and self-respect.

Every small act of care can make a meaningful difference in a child's life. 💚

Ngayong araw, ating ginugunita ang ika-165 kaarawan ng ating Pambansang Bayani, Dr. José Protacio Rizal—isang huwaran ng talino, tapang, pagmamahal sa bayan, at paglilingkod sa kapwa.

Mahigit isang siglo na ang nakalipas, subalit nananatiling buhay at makabuluhan ang kanyang mga adhikain at aral para sa bawat Pilipino, saan mang panig ng mundo naroroon.

Sa pagdiriwang na ito, alalahanin natin ang isa sa kanyang pinakatanyag na pahayag:

"Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan."

Nawa'y magsilbi itong paalala na ang kinabukasan ng ating bansa ay nakasalalay sa isang kabataang may malasakit, kaalaman, at pagmamahal sa Pilipinas.

Sa kanyang buhay at mga akda, ipinakita ni Rizal na ang tunay na pagbabago ay nagsisimula sa edukasyon, pagkakaisa, at paninindigan para sa katotohanan at katarungan.

Sama-sama nating parangalan ang kanyang alaala sa pamamagitan ng pagpapatuloy ng kanyang mga adhikain at pagpapahalaga bilang mga responsableng mamamayan at bilang bahagi ng pandaigdigang pamayanang Pilipino.

Mabuhay ang alaala ni Dr. José Rizal!
Mabuhay ang sambayanang Pilipino! 🇵🇭
