Beijing, 28 January 2019–The Philippine Embassy in Beijing welcomed a delegation of 77 students aged 8 to 15 from various cities and provinces in China, including Beijing, Fujian, Shanxi, and Tianjin on 23 January 2019.

The Embassy's Cultural Section gave a presentation on basic information about the Philippines. The children were also taught basic Filipino sentences and were introduced to Philippine fiestas and festivals. Part of the activity was a “mask-making” session, inspired by the MassKara Festival, which is held in Bacolod City every fourth Sunday of October.
