MANILA – The Japanese Embassy in Manila declared on Thursday that application for the 2022 Young Leaders’ Program (YLP) is now open.

Successful Filipino applicants can enroll in any of the courses available, including business administration, law, public administration, and local governance.
Participants will get a master’s degree upon successful completion of the program, which will begin in September or October 2022. English is the mode of instruction.
To qualify for the program, interested applicants must be:
· A Filipino citizen;
· A Bachelor’s degree holder with excellent academic records;
· Highly proficient in English;
