The Philippine Chamber of Commerce – Michigan has volunteered to take on the daunting task of hosting this year's Rizal Day celebration under the direction of the FILAMCCO. As President of the Chamber, Ryan Rosario will take on the job as Chairman for the event. This is the second year that the FILAMCCO has encouraged its member organizations to take on a lead role in the umbrella organization's biggest annual event which is attended by over 500 Filipinos in Michigan and across the United States. Tony Kho as president of FILAMCCO, started this 'tradition' with last year's event being hosted by the Ang Bisaya group. He initiated this kind of cooperation to get more of the member organizations involved with FILAMCCO. According to Tony, “the attitude is changing, the members are more excited and showing more commitment to the community.” This kind of opportunity was exactly what the Chamber needed to boost its presence in the Filipino community. Being a newly-formed organization and member of the FILAMCCO, the Chamber would like to get more involved in the community to give the members excellent opportunities to meet and be introduced to the Filipinos of Michigan. As the host organization, the Chamber is expected to develop the theme and program for the event. They will be working closely with, and under the guidance of, the more 'experienced' members of FILAMCCO to make sure that Rizal Day 2009 will be an event neither organizations and, hopefully the attendees, would always remember. |

The Western Michigan Filipino-American Association will honor visiting Governor Miguel Dominguez of Sarangani, Philippines at a dinner-potluck event this Friday at 6:30 p.m. at the First Evangelical Free Church, 3950 Burton SE corner East Paris St. The Filipino community in Grand Rapids and the Lakeshore is invited to join the gathering.
Governor Dominguez, 32, is the recipient of a travel scholarship from the Eisenhower Fellowships, a program which allows young leaders from around the world to visit the United States to see innovations in leadership and governance. In his second four-year term as governor, Gov. Dominguez is also a regional political leader in the Philippines.
Sarangani province is located at the southernmost tip of Mindanao island in southern Philippines. It is the most ethnically diverse province, with colorful minorities such as the T'bolis and B'laans. Sarangani and General Santos City are considered the tuna capital of the Philippines. Most recently, boxing multi-champion Manny Pacquiao, has established residence in Sarangani province.
In addition to the above event, Governor Dominguez is also visiting International Aid, whose child survival program in the Philippines benefits Sarangani province.
