To the President, Dr. Cecilio K. Pedro, to the esteemed officers and members of the Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry Inc. who are joining here today whether physically or via Zoom, it is a great honor to be with your membership executive assembly this afternoon.
Before I begin, allow me to share with you a short story: A man was walking peacefully one quiet afternoon on his farm. He was enjoying the crisp and refreshing air carrying an earthy scent of freshly cut grass, as well as the gentle warmth of the sunlight on his skin.
