Ariana Lacson, President and CEO of the university's Associated Students, expressed gratitude for the university's recognition of Filipino Americans, stating, "Right now, our part of history is left out. And I'm just grateful that our university recognizes that and is trying to make amends basically. And make sure that we're represented as Filipino students." This reflects the ongoing efforts to memorialize Filipino American contributions.
Alan Gouig emphasized the project’s potential, saying, "I think the possibilities are endless. We have the ability to uplift various parts of Filipino American history on each panel. Maybe we want to incorporate it into one cohesive design. I think the dialogue and the discourse of the committee that's stewarding this will still have that conversation." This underlines the collaborative spirit behind the initiative.
