Philippines-Spain Erasmus+ KA107 Project on Exchange of Law Students and Professors
Last February 2018, Philippine Ambassador to Spain, H.E. Philippe Lhuillier, visited the University of Málaga to formally present the Erasmus+ KA107 project with Philippines. In attendance were law students, members of the faculty led by the Dean of the Law Department Dr. Juan José Hinojosa Torralvo, and International Linkages Director Dr. Olga Guerrero Perez, and Philippine Honorary Consul to Malaga, Ms. Rosa Aguera.

Ambassador Lhuillier congratulated the Law Department, particularly the Dean, Dr. Hinojosa, and his team for working hard with UP and Ateneo de Manila in ensuring the successful launch of the program. He underscored the importance of student and professorial exchanges as a response to current trends of localized thinking and anti-intellectualism, stating that the program is “an important initiative… We need law students and law professors whose minds and hearts will be positively shaped by enriching experiences through their exposure to diverse people, ideas, and perspectives—all of which will be offered by this Project.”
The program, which is an outcome of the International Congress in Philippine and Spanish Law held in Malaga in May 2017 (a collaborative effort of the law schools of Malaga, University of the Philipines-Diliman and Ateneo de Manila), allows for educational exchange of students and professors between the universities of Spain and the Philippines.
The program is funded by the European Union and aims to encourage scholarship exchanges at the graduate level between the Philippine and Spanish future law experts.
Earlier in the day, the Ambassador also met with the Vice Rector for Institutional Policy Dr. Juan Antonio Garcia Galindo and discussed the possibility of the establishment of a Philippine studies program in the University.
