The 2025 Chinese Culture Park-Manila Camp opened on July 1, 2025 at Chiang Kai Shek College (CKSC) in Manila.
The event was co-hosted by the Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry Inc. (FFCCCII) and Quanzhou Huaqiao University, with CKSC as the main organizer.
FFCCCII president Victor Lim, vice president Co Kin Hung and members of the Cultural and Education Committee attended the opening ceremony.
Lim highlighted the important role of Chinese community organizations in promoting cultural exchange between the Philippines and China.
He said that FFCCCII is committed to strengthening cultural ties and promoting Chinese heritage.
CKSC principal Jude Yap said the college has long supported Chinese cultural education and encouraged the youth to actively participate in the camp and become cultural ambassadors.
Li Sha, head of the Huaqiao University delegation, said that since 2006, nearly 10,000 overseas Chinese youths have joined the university’s cultural park programs, which offer lessons in traditional Chinese music, dance, martial arts, calligraphy, painting and more.
At the ceremony, Li and the university’s art teachers donated calligraphy and paintings to FFCCCII and CKSC, symbolizing the deepening cultural ties between China and the Philippines.
