During a recent one-day visit of the Hon. Christy Clark, Premier of the Province of British Columbia last May 19, we were fortunate to have been invited to a reception that was held at the Makati Shangri La Hotel. It was a private event attended only by members of the Canadian Embassy, the BC Alumni Network, the Philippines-Canada Trade Council, members of the Department of Foreign Affairs and a select group of Canadian businessmen recruiting workers/employees from the Philippines, notable among which was the A&W food chain who claimed to be very happy with their Filipino employees and actually prefer Filipino worker over others.
I-Remit was actually the only remittance company present during the occasion.
In the said event, Mr. Bansan Choa had the opportunity to present Premier Clark with a book authored by a notable Philippine Economist and Educator, Bernardo Villegas, entitled, “The Book of Virtues & Values”, which was also personally autographed by Prof. Villegas for her. |
