Legacy of Leadership: From Alumni Association to Global Advocacy
The celebration also highlighted the inspiring journey of the FUTURE Foundation Global (FFG), which originally began as the FEU NRMF PT Alumni Association founded by Drs. Ben and Consie Aguila. What started as a platform to unite alumni eventually expanded its mission to welcome non-alumni members. This evolution led to its transformation into a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, now dedicated to advocating for Global Filipino Physical Therapists through leadership development, mentorship, and advocacy efforts.
The success of this milestone celebration marks a promising future for the FEU-NRMF School of Physical Therapy community. The spirit of unity, pride, and excellence was palpable throughout the evening, reminding all attendees of the lasting impact of their alma mater.
