The Chinese Filipino Business Club, Inc. (CFBCI), in the afternoon of August 24 (Thursday), went to Manila Bulletin’s headquarters in Intramuros, Manila to pay a courtesy visit to Manila Bulletin’s management. The delegation headed by President Stephen Sia was warmly received by Hon. Basilio C. Yap, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Dr. Emilio C. Yap III, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Established in the year 2000, Manila Bulletin is the most widely circulated English-language newspaper in the Philippines, and in recent years it has been transformed into a well-established media network with numerous loyal readers, making it a prestigious and influential newspaper in the country.

CFBCI has a friendly relationship with the Manila Bulletin Newspaper for many years. Every year, CFBCI officials and members are invited to attend the celebration of the newspaper’s anniversary or the anniversary of the Manila Hotel which is also chaired by Hon. Yap. The newspaper also sends reporters to cover important events organized by CFBCI.

During this visit, aside from renewing old friendships, they also talked about the preparation for the National Biennial Convention to be held next year. We hope that both parties will continue to work together to make the Convention a success.
