The University of the Philippines, through the Office of International Linkages, engaged with Japanese students and partner institutions by participating in the U-Tokyo Global Fair and conducting a partner visit to Tsuru University from May 20-24 2026.

The UP delegation was composed of Mr. Guillian M. Mecate, Head of Program Development and Strategy; Ms. Marilyn T. Nirza, Programs Team Associate; and Student Assistant Mr. Dave Rafael N. Lim.

At the U-Tokyo Global Fair, the delegation introduced UP as a study and exchange destination for University of Tokyo students, highlighting opportunities for semester exchange, cultural and academic immersion, and emerging short-term mobility pathways such as HIRAYA. The engagement provided a meaningful platform to connect personally with Todai students and to encourage more balanced academic mobility between UP and the University of Tokyo.

The delegation also visited Tsuru University to explore pathways for deeper institutional collaboration. Discussions focused on possible academic linkages, including Japanese studies, graduate-level engagements, Collaborative Online International Learning, and future cooperation with relevant UP academic units.

Through these engagements, UP continues to promote internationalization beyond traditional exchange by advancing student mobility, faculty and staff engagement, curriculum-based collaboration, and people-to-people connections with partner universities in Japan.
