The Chinese Filipino Business Club, Inc. (CFBCI) delegation led by President Stephen Sia visited Central Luzon in the morning of July 12 (Wednesday) and was warmly received by CFBCI colleagues from Angeles, Pampanga, San Fernando, and Tarlac provinces and municipalities. At noon on that day, the delegation hosted a lunch at Fortune (Hong Kong) Seafood Restaurant to have a discussion with their local colleagues and representatives in the business sector.

President Sia firstly delivered a speech, thanking the local colleagues and Chinese businessmen for attending the seminar, hoping that they could speak freely and actively put forward their suggestions, and also inviting them to attend the upcoming 14th National Biennial Convention to be held in February next year.

Over the years, with the cooperation of local colleagues and chambers of commerce, the Organization has been carrying out a number of programs to serve the community, including disaster relief and poverty alleviation, etc., which have been well received by the local political and business sectors.

The business forum was highly appreciated by the Chinese business community in the city, and they discussed in depth the trend of the Philippine political situation, the implementation of our social service programs, and the challenges faced by the Chinese community. During the seminar, the participants interacted with each other in a joyful and enthusiastic atmosphere.
