On August 20, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., the Chinese Filipino Business Club, Inc. (CFBCI) hosted a seminar titled “Marketing in the Age of Artificial Intelligence” at the Century Park Hotel, Manila. Following the event, CFBCI once again demonstrated its commitment to education by donating one million pesos to the Association of Filipino-Chinese Schools in the Philippines. To date, CFBCI has contributed a total of four million pesos to the association, underscoring its dedication to promoting quality education and supporting educators’ welfare.

Established in January 1998, CFBCI is one of the leading business organizations in the Filipino-Chinese community. It upholds the principle of serving both the Chinese community and mainstream Filipino society by promoting cultural integration, safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of overseas Chinese in the Philippines, fostering business development, and contributing to the nation’s economic growth in various ways.

The association actively engages in numerous charitable initiatives. Each year, it donates national flags, wheelchairs, and bicycles to government agencies to promote patriotism, support social welfare, and enhance traffic safety. During the rainy season, CFBCI conducts mosquito-control efforts in Chinese and public schools to prevent dengue fever outbreaks. To ensure hospitals have sufficient blood supply for emergencies, the association also partners with the Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center to organize regular blood donation drives.

CFBCI has also made education a top priority, launching and supporting numerous initiatives. These include the “Pagharap sa Pangarap” scholarship program, donations to various educational projects, and co-hosting chess tournaments with the Eugene Torre Foundation. In addition, CFBCI actively participates in the annual Filipino-Chinese Friendship Day celebration and organizes lantern-making contests, entrepreneurship seminars, and other cultural activities.

It is truly admirable for a business organization to champion Chinese-language education while engaging in extensive public service and charitable work. Such vision and generosity reflect the exceptional leadership of CFBCI’s past presidents and its unwavering commitment to community service.

Chinese education holds great significance for the Filipino-Chinese community. Under the leadership of President Samuel Lee Uy, CFBCI has intensified efforts to promote Chinese culture, strengthen Chinese-language education, and support the welfare of Chinese-language teachers. The association expresses its deepest gratitude to CFBCI for these efforts and looks forward to more opportunities for collaboration in the future.
菲華校聯訊: 8月20日（星期三）下午兩點到五點，菲華工商總會假座世紀大酒店舉辦了「人工智能時代的行銷」研討會。會後，菲華工商總會再次響應呼籲，慨捐華社尊師重道獎勵金一百萬披索至此，該會總共向該項目捐獻四百萬披索，隆情厚誼，令人十分感動。

菲華工商總會成立於一九九八年一月，作為菲律濱華社的主要商會團體之一，向來秉承服務華人社會及菲律賓主流社會、增進族群融合的宗旨，為旅菲華人華僑爭取正當權益、積極推動工商企業發展、促進經濟繁榮做出多方面努力。

該會每年不間斷地向政府有關單位捐贈國旗、輪椅及腳踏車等，以宣揚愛國熱忱，並且推動社會治安和交通安全；雨季來臨期間，為各華校及公立學校噴灑滅蚊劑，以預防登革熱；為了讓醫院血庫能有充裕的血液應急救命，該會積極配合中華崇仁總醫院舉辦「捐血拯救生命」運動。

值得一提的是，菲華工商總會一直將協助和支持華文學校作為重要優先的事項，開展了多項活動，其中包括「點亮未來」助學方案、捐助菲律濱兒童基金會方案，還有「尤金杜黎基金會(Eugene Torre Foundation)」共同舉辦的西洋國際象棋培訓和國際象棋錦標賽。除此之外，還有菲華工商總會一年一度「菲中友誼日」慶祝活動及唐人街的遊行活動、燈籠製作比賽及各種創業講座。

一個商業團體能大力支持華文教育，積極投身公益慈善事業，這種高瞻遠矚的胸懷和大愛無私的精神令人十分難得，這都是菲華工商總會歷屆理事長的出色領導的結果。

眾所周知，沒有華教，就沒有華社。菲華工商總會在黃書瑋理事長的領導下，努力傳播中華文化，大力支持華文教育，重視華文教育的發展，關心華文教師的福利，這是華文教育之幸。校聯全體同仁向黃書瑋理事長及菲華工商總會各位領導表示衷心的感謝，期待兩會未來有更多合作的機會。
