Ignacio, Zhangjiang Group Party Secretary and Chairman Yuan Tao, the Philippines’ crack team of Trade and Agriculture Attachés in China, and virtually from Manila, ranking officials of the Department of Trade and Industry led by the Honorable Secretary of Trade and Industry Ramon M. Lopez.
Mirroring the Filipino peoples’ matchless ability to blend focused entrepreneurship with a zest for life, PIF attendees are in for a unique culture and gustatory experience as well. The Forum will feature a sumptuous repast of popular Filipino dishes and snacks especially arranged by Parkyard Hotel for participants to enjoy.
