Advancing Philippine Studies at HU , headed by Dr. Castillo, aims to advance and promote Philippine and Filipino/a/x studies at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and in Germany by developing academic programs, projects, and/or activities related to the culture, society, and history of the Philippines and the Filipino people. It is funded by a donation offered to the University through the Office of Senator Loren Legarda and the Philippine Embassy in Berlin. The project is implemented with full academic, strategic, and operational control by the University.

Philippine Studies at SOAS, headed by Dr. Juan, is a forum for Philippine–related teaching, research and cultural production in the UNited Kingdom. Established in part by a grant from the office of Senator Loren Legarda to the Centre for South East Asian Studies in 2017, the PSS Committee develops and coordinates academic research and teaching on the Philippines and functions as an organising centre for conferences, public lectures, film screenings and language classes. It is also an aggregating hub for Philippine-related information on current academic and cultural events, student resources for grants and scholarships, and a networking database for Filipinistas in the UK and Europe.
