On 09 November 2025, the Philippine Jinjiang Chidian General Association, Inc. joyfully celebrated its 2nd Founding Anniversary and held its Induction Ceremonies at the Century Seafood Restaurant, Manila. The event gathered local and overseas Chinese leaders and distinguished guests who came together to witness this significant milestone and the inauguration of the Association’s new headquarters.

Chinese Filipino Business Club, Inc. (CFBCI) President Samuel Lee Uy was among the invited ribbon-cutting guests. Alongside leaders of various organizations, he unveiled the commemorative plaque at the entrance of the new headquarters, extending his heartfelt congratulations on the inauguration of the new premises.

That afternoon, the Association also held a grand celebration for its second anniversary and the induction of the second-term board of directors, as well as officers from the Women’s Group and Youth Group. Guests from China, Hong Kong, and Macau attended the occasion, signifying the unity and enduring friendship among the Chidian community at home and abroad. CFBCI President Uy was seated at the Presidential table and delivered an inspiring congratulatory message.

In his speech, President Uy highlighted that the event not only marked an important milestone for the Association but also reflected the enduring spirit of solidarity and shared purpose among its members. On behalf of CFBCI, he extended warm congratulations to the Association, commending its unwavering commitment to the principles of “fostering hometown ties, pursuing shared development, and serving society.”

He emphasized that since its establishment, the Association has successfully united the vast community of Chidian compatriots in the Philippines, strengthening hometown bonds, encouraging mutual support, and contributing to both business development and social welfare. It has also served as a bridge for friendship and cooperation between China and the Philippines.

President Uy further commended the Board of Directors and members for their dedication and hard work. He particularly recognized Founding President Mr. Alvin Chu, who also serves as CFBCI’s Coordinator for Angeles, Pampanga. As a pioneering figure, Mr. Chu led the acquisition of the Association’s headquarters, contributing both resources and effort. His leadership inspired many fellow townsmen to join the cause and laid a solid foundation for the Association’s continued success.

Warm congratulations were also extended to the newly elected officers: President Mr. Henry Lo Lim (also CFBCI Vice President), Executive Vice President Mr. George Go, and Vice President Mr. Zhu Xiaohua (both CFBCI Directors). Their assumption of leadership marks a new era of growth and promise, as they are expected to uphold the Association’s legacy and guide it toward even greater achievements.

Adding to the festive spirit, CFBCI Scholars, under the direction of acclaimed Chinese music teacher Ms. Aileen Go, performed two heartwarming Chinese songs. Their melodious voices filled the venue with warmth and nostalgia. This was followed by a moving solo rendition of “Peng You” by CFBCI Scholar Alfred Baja from Batangas, whose heartfelt performance captured the gratitude and aspirations of the youth.

The event concluded with a touching message of appreciation from Executive Vice President George Go, followed by a toast among all guests. The joyous and harmonious atmosphere symbolized the Association’s bright future under its new leadership.

CFBCI Vice President Henry Lo Lim was formally inducted as the second President of the Philippine Jinjiang Chidian General Association, Inc. A respected entrepreneur who successfully led W. L. Foods to international recognition, Mr. Lim is equally known for his philanthropic endeavors in education. During the ceremony, he generously donated ₱200,000 to the CFBCI Pagharap sa Pangarap College Scholarship Program, opening new opportunities for underprivileged students to pursue higher education. His generosity and compassion exemplify the true spirit of leadership and service, earning our highest commendation and gratitude.
