EA Philippines' 2020 virtual Intro Fellowship back during the pandemic was my first encounter with the Effective Altruism community. Their authenticity, warmth, and impact-focus has made a lasting impression on me. I've met members at EAG London and most recently EAGxPhilippines 2023 and am always impressed with my interactions with them and the rate of progress my fellowship cohort has made in 3.5 short years.

In my view, they define the bar for me on what a vibrant and diverse EA community should look like. I.e., while I currently live in London and engage with their EA community, EA Philippines' community in my view exceeds that of London.
