PPIF
was formed as an organization to foster brotherhood and cooperation
among Indonesian students studying in the Philippines. Initially formed
as Indonesian Students Union on September 30, 1957, it took on its
current name of PPMIP on September 5, 1965. On July 24, 2011 It changed
its name to PPIF (Perhimpunan Pelajar Indonesia Filipina).
The
organization is structured to accommodate concentrations of Indonesian
students present in the Philippines. It consists of a Head Office
located in Makati, due to its close proximity to the Indonesian
Embassy, so as to simplify communication and coordination between the
chapters.
Five chapters have been set up, namely the chapters of :
1. METRO MANILA (Makati, Manila and Quezon City)
2. LAGUNA (Los Banos and Dasmarinas City)
3. NORTH LUZON (Baguio City)
4. CAVITE ( Tagaytay and Silang City)
5. CEBU (Lapu-Lapu City)
Organizational links and tie-ups are present with the Indonesian
Embassy in Manila. As the legitimate body to protect Indonesian
citizens, particularly students studying in the Philippines, personnel
with the Indonesian Embassy have been put as members of the Board of
Trustees. Among them are, the Indonesian Ambassador to the Philippines,
the Cultural and Education Attache, the Defense Attache and the
Industry and Trade Attache
