Angeles Mangaser Avecilla (née Mangaser; 1902–1975), was a Filipino social worker, missionary, and educator in the Territory of Hawaii.[1][2][3] She was influential within the early Filipino community on the islands, specifically in Honolulu.
Avecilla came from the Philippines to Hawaii in 1932, working with the Hawaiian Board of Missions,[1] part of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM). In the 1930s, she worked as a social worker at the YWCA with Filipino women and girls in Hawaii.[4] She also directed the Filipino adult education courses in the adult education department of the University of Hawaiʻi.[2][5][6] Avecilla remained into Hawaii until 1955.[2]
