Apart from joyful gatherings, sightseeings and reunions, the Lopez family, headed by Lopez Group chairman Oscar Lopez, turned over four projects to Jaro residents. These projects include homes built in cooperation with Gawad Kalinga and educational materials and facilities to upgrade Iloilo schools.
Philippine Ambassador to Japan Domingo Siazon continues to organize very successful events to promote a deeper understanding and appreciation of Filipino culture to his Japanese friends and colleagues. The hardworking Ambassador Siazon held a week-long Philippine Food Festival at the Hilton Tokyo where two Cebuano chefs were flown in and Filipino singers serenaded the captive audience with well-loved Kundimans. It was truly a unique fiesta experience for our friends in Japan, thanks to the efforts of Ambassador Siazon! Congratulations!
