Philippine Consulate General-Shanghai joins Filipino Nation in honoring the 128th Anniversary of Dr. Rizal’s Martyrdom

Shanghai, 30 December 2024 – The Philippine Consulate General in Shanghai joined Filipinos across the world in commemorating the 128^th anniversary of the martyrdom of Dr. Jose P. Rizal.

Consul General Dinno M. Oblena led the wreath-laying ceremony before the national hero’s bust within the premises of the Consulate General.

Vice Consul Richard L. Recella led the reflection on Dr. Rizal’s life, drawing from the national hero’s 1879 work A La Juventud Filipina (To the Filipino Youth). He invited colleagues to imagine Rizal living in the Philippines of the present, with its opportunities and challenges, and providing counsel to his countrymen. “Rizal would have surely asked each of us to continue to take courage and soldier on through the hardships and, like him, to keep a hunger learning and appetite for achievement,” Vice Consul Recella remarked.

The rites concluded with Consul General Oblena delivering remarks. He encouraged the Philippine Country Team to cherish and spread the invaluable lessons that continue to be gleaned both from Dr. Rizal’s works and his heroic life.

He also conveyed his hope that as diplomats and civil servants representing the Philippines in Shanghai and other areas of jurisdiction, personnel will continue to adhere to Dr. Rizal’s great legacy, adding that this can be done by having the commitment to dedicated service and hard work. He furthered that this can be advanced through the constant search for excellence and self-improvement, as Rizal did in the 35 short years of his life. END

Shanghai PCG receives visiting delegation from SMDC

Consul General Oblena (Center) joined by SM Development Corporation Representatives   

SHANGHAI – The Philippine Consulate General in Shanghai received on 5 December 2024 a visiting delegation from SM Development Corporation which arrived in China’s financial center to attend the 2024 Luxury Property Show, Asia Pacific’s leading luxury real estate exhibition, scheduled on 06-08 December 2024 at the Shanghai Exhibition Center.

The SMDC team was represented by SMDC Deputy Sales Head Mr. Angelo V. Nomat, Operations Director Ms. Cecille M. Evangelista, International Associate Sales Director Mr. Sonny Evangelista, International Sales Director Ms. Charisse Ngo, Sales Director Mr. Dennis G. Bustamante and Property Investment Manager Mr. Noah Malayao.

SMDC Deputy Sales Head Mr. Angelo V. Nomat shared that SMDC is seeking to boost the company’s real estate promotion activities in China following a decline during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to that period, China was considered to be among their strongest markets for their real estate offers. According to the SMDC team, SMDC real estate offers of condominium units and Airbnb rentals for short-term stay appeal to both Filipinos and Chinese alike.  

Consul General Dinno M. Oblena wished them much success during their participation in the 2024 Luxury Property Show being held in Shanghai, a metropolis that offers business opportunities and encourages businesses to thrive, further strengthening its standing as a global economic, finance, shipping, trade, hi-tech and logistics hub.

Making the most of their visit, the SMDC team has also touched base with some members of the Filipino community in Shanghai in the hopes of exploring the possibility of conducting real estate investment presentations in the future. END
