‘ASEAN Showcase 2016’ forum set to unfold
opportunities
By Venus L. Garcia
BUTUAN CITY, Sept. 30 (PIA) - A group of
professors, school administrators, textbook authors, lecturers and trainers, in
partnership with Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP), have collaborated with various
stakeholders and participants in the ASEAN Economic Integration to launch a
forum dubbed “ASEAN Showcase: A Basket of Opportunities” which will be held on
October 8, 2016 at the Diosdado Macapagal Hall, Landbank Plaza in Malate,
Manila.
This forum aims to keep the people abreast with the
ASEAN Economic Integration, and to explore the vast opportunities in it.
Various topics and issues will be discussed by experienced speakers in the
fields of academe, government and business, and at the same time present the
impact of the ASEAN Economic Integration on these sectors.
“Through this forum, more Filipinos could be made
aware of the possibilities, challenges and opportunities in the ASEAN
community,” said Melody Grace Llona, event coordinator of Core Learning
Solutions Asia Corp.
Llona elaborated further that the ASEAN Showcase
focuses on the many advantages and prospects for collaboration among different
sectors. As companies compete with ASEAN neighbors, they expect their employees
and managers to possess the skills of effective communication, critical
thinking, collaboration, creativity and cultural literacy to become
trailblazers in the industry.
“These skills are not usually contextualized in
schools, but those in the workplace have to possess these five Cs to survive
and, more importantly, to thrive. Thus, this educational event will link
stakeholders in the academe, business and government to gather insights on
developing talents and future workforce in the ASEAN community, for mobility
and competitiveness,” added Llona.
As a venue to get updates about the ASEAN-related
programs and initiatives from private organizations and from the different line
agencies of the Philippine government, credible speakers were invited to
deliver a talk, to include: Chairperson of ASEAN Women Entrepreneurs’ Network
Pacita Juan (Empowering Women Entrepreneurs in the ASEAN); Assistant Secretary
Maria Helen De La Vega, Office of ASEAN Affairs, Department of Foreign Affairs
(Applying the 5Cs in Manager ASEAN Affairs); Project Manager/Information
Manager AndrΓ© Fournier at Philippine Disaster Recovery Foundation (Impact of
the ASEAN Economic Integration on Disaster); Assistant Director Agnes Perpetua
Legaspi, Marketing Bureau of Department of Trade and Industry (Stage of Filipino
Businesses in the Midst of ASEAN), among others.
