History...
A
small
group of Filipino students,
assisted by Philippine consulate advisers and a German professor, decided
to form an association with the end in view of representing and promoting
the interest of Filipino students in Germany.
|
This group called a meeting on
December 20, 1992, and formally launched the organization known as
Philippine Students Association.
|
The members began calling it ...Philstud, to
shorten the long name. Some of the drafted the Constitution and By-laws of
Philstud in 1993, which was later approved by the body. During the same
year, the association was registered at the Office of the President of the
University of Hamburg as a non-profit organization.
Since its establishment, Philstud was able to carry its numerous
scientific seminars as well as its culturally related activities. Most of
the activities of Philstud during the year 1993 to 1996 were focused on
establishing relations with both Filipino and German students and
scientists. Corollary to this, it provided a venue for members to present
their particular academic pursuits through seminars and conference.
