Ms. Ma. Teresita C. Daza convened the meeting as the new
Consul General and concurrent CDA of the Embassy. The meeting provided an opportunity for the community to share its concerns and discuss possible joint projects. Among the projects identified were: the formation of an association, the preparation of a manual that will present some essential tips and information for new comers in Romania and possible informal sessions on information and skills sharing and exchange. The response to these plans was positive and encouraging. To quote one Filipino who wrote the Embassy soon after, "I hope we can have more gatherings on a regular basis. I think everyone will agree with me that the event boosted our spirits; that we can bind to care for each other and to give support. Parang therapy sa aming nalulungkot at pakiramdam ay walang dumadamay dahil konti lang tayo dito". |
