On 28 May 2024 (Tuesday), the Chinese Filipino Business Club, Inc. (CFBCI) represented by Honorary President Stephen T. Sia and Director Gilbert Kua Yan Yee, facilitated the turnover of one hundred (100) Philippine flags to Quezon City Hall. Mayor Joy Belmonte and Ms. Maria Teresa A. Tirona, Officer-In-Charge, Quezon City Tourism Department attended the turnover.

CFBCI has been keeping its tradition of donating Philippine flags to several municipalities and cities in order to promote patriotism among Filipinos, especially during the National Flag Days.

As a symbol of gratitude for the donation, Mayor Belmonte gifted CFBCI with the City’s 85th Anniversary Celebration Coffee Table Book.

菲華工商總會訊：本會為迎接即將到來的菲律濱獨立節，名譽理事長謝國萬及董事柯仁義代表本會，於五月廿八日（星期二）上午，前往計順市政廳，向市長貝爾蒙特（Mayor Josefina “Joy” Belmonte）贈送百面嶄新國旗，受到市長及市政府旅遊局負責人蒂惹娜（Ms. Maria Teresa A. Tirona）等人熱情接待。

本會秉承歷年來的優良傳統，每年向大岷區及外省各大城市贈送嶄新國旗，期盼受惠單位於國慶期間能將國旗懸掛在市政府廣場、學校、醫院及其他政府辦公大樓，以促進我國人民的愛國情操。
貝爾蒙特市長在其辦公室熱烈歡迎本會領導的到訪，並感謝本會所贈送的國旗，她表示會請市府旅遊局幫忙儘快將國旗分發給市府各個機關、公立學校及醫院。她也指出，本會獨立節贈送國旗的活動非常有意義，因為國旗不僅僅是一面旗子，同時也是國家的標識，「國旗在，精氣神就在」。並勉勵大家於獨立節期間，在商店或住家前插掛國旗，共同宣揚愛國精神。

在移交國旗後，貝爾蒙特市長回贈本會出席領導每人一冊計順市慶祝建市八十五週年紀念特刊。
