The Consulate also visited the Philippine nationality room at the Cathedral of Learning, a 100-year old Gothic Revival structure which serves as a learning and recreation space for University students and home to 29 other nationality rooms. Inspired by the Quema House in Vigan, the Philippine nationality room collects the many streams of cultural influence different groups of people have developed and brought to the Philippines. The room was built with support from the Filipino-American community in Pittsburgh, including members of the Filipino-American Association of Pittsburgh, Inc.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
