After visiting Angeles City, Pampanga in the morning of July
12 (Wednesday), the Chinese Filipino Business Club, Inc. (CFBCI) Metro Manila delegation
went to Urdaneta, Pangasinan in the afternoon of the same day and received a
warm welcome from local colleagues and Chinese businessmen, who hosted a
banquet with CFBCI colleagues and Chinese businessmen from the municipalities
of Sison, Pozorrubio, Binalonan, Urdaneta, Villasis, and Rosales in Pangasinan.
President Stephen Sia thanked his local colleagues and
Chinese businessmen for attending the forum. “The people of Northern Luzon are industrious,
rich in produce and have a pleasant climate. The last time we visited the
region was before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic so it was a great
pleasure to meet up with many of our colleagues and local Chinese businessmen
again. We hope that you will speak freely and give us your suggestions. At the
same time, I would like to invite all of you to attend the 14th National
Biennial Convention of the Organization to be held in February next year,” said
Mr. Sia.
During the seminar, the current problems faced by the Chinese
community and the country were discussed, and the plenary made suggestions and
exchanged views with each other. Our colleagues and local Chinese businessmen
and friends spoke enthusiastically during the seminar and the atmosphere was
warm and harmonious.
