Joint NPC-FFCCII Manila Mayoralty Forum
THE National Press Club of the Philippines (NPC), the country’s biggest organization of active members of the press and the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (FFCCII), the country’s biggest and premier Fil-Chinese organization, have agreed to jointly undertake the first Manila Mayoralty Candidates Forum.
The agreement was sealed with a handshake by columnist Wilson Flores, chair of the FFCCII Publication Committee on behalf of Federation President Dr. Henry Lim Bon Liong and NPC President Paul M. Gutierrez with NPC director Benedict Abaygar as witness.
The Forum has been tentatively scheduled on March 28, 2022 to be held at the FFCCII Building in Binondo, Manila.
Gutierrez said the forum would give the four candidates vying for the mayoralty of the country’s capital city to present their platform of government while also giving Manilenyos the opportunity to assess for themselves who among the candidates are best qualified to lead Manila in the years to come.
Gutierrez said formal invitation would be sent to the candidates, namely: Atty. Alex Lopez, Vice Mayor Shielah ‘Honey’ Lacuna-Pangan, Rep. Amado Bagatsing and, retired police general, Elmer Jamias.
