Promoting inclusiveness and diversity within his campuses in the Middle East, Filipino Institute founder and president Mr. Gabriel John Rimando said that their campuses are not only for Filipinos but also for all nationalities. Noticing an increase of non-Filipino enrollees each time they open courses, Rimando said that with non-Filipinos learning in the training institute, it makes the campus a more interesting and personally enriching environment for everyone.
Some non-Filipinos were, in fact, excelling in the Filipino Institute. During the face-to-face graduation last December 4, Alice Bizimana of Rwanda got the second spot in the Massage Therapy (Basic and Advance) class.
According to Rimando, the Filipino Institute also welcomes diverse individuals. “They are welcome, we don’t look at age, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, and gender. Everyone is welcome,” he added.
Currently, the Filipino Institute, which has campuses in Dubai, Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Bahrain, has Ugandan, Sudanese, Russians, and Arab enrolled students.

“Cross-cultural communication is very important. Today, more than ever, we’re likely to interact professionally with people from different cultural backgrounds to our own, especially here in UAE,” he said.
