Traveling to the Philippines for the ICMA International Committee meeting and study tour was a life-changing event for me as a Filipino American in local government.

In March 2023, ICMA members traveled to Manila, Valenzuela, Puerto Princesa, and Tagbilaran in the Philippines to learn about the impact of the programs that ICMA has implemented.

In every community, growing the local economy becomes one of the most high-impact ways to directly enhance the living conditions of residents.

The chance meeting occurred as ICMA staff supported activities for an international project aimed at strengthening the economic and cultural resilience of Tibetan communities.
