LIM LEADS IN LAUNCHING COMMEMORATIVE STAMPS AT POST OFFICE
Manila Mayor Alfredo S. Lim led in the launching of the
commemorative stamps for the Philippine Che Yong Cua and Chua Family
Association at the Manila Post Office.
Lim congratulated these
families for their concern and assistance to their fellow Filipinos
in time of crisis such as earthquakes, fires and other natural
calamities.
He also acknowledged their
scholarship program for the children of poor families as a token of
recognition for the hospitality of the Philippine government in
allowing them to put up business in the country.
Lim asked them to continue
promoting their civic consciousness programs to the less fortunate
people, especially with the current global financial crisis, where a
lot of Filipinos have lost their jobs and could hardly shoulder the
increasing prices of some commodities.
Lim also congratulated the Cua and
Chua Family Association for their friendship and camaraderie and
asked them to work together as a whole to solve the everyday
trials. (http://www.manila.gov.ph/pressrelease.htm)
