DAET, Camarines Norte, Feb. 13 (PIA) – The towns of Daet and Labo were visited by the 25th Hawaii Trade Mission of the Filipino Chamber of Hawaii (FCCH) yesterday. The visit was headed by Lt. Governor Shan Tsutsui of the State of Hawaii along with Honolulu Philippine Consul General Gina Jamoralin.
The mission was an offshoot of the visit of Daet Mayor Tito Sarte Sarion in Honolulu Hawaii last year. Sarion believes that the visit will eventually bring better economic opportunities for the said municipalities.
In appreciation of Tsutsui’s visit, a resolution was made adopting him as honorary son of Daet. Resolution No. 07-2015 was read and turned over to him during a simple ceremony here. It was passed by the Sanguniang Bayan prior to the official’s visit which stated that Daet will promote Hawaii in the Philippines as an investment and the municipality as a tourist destination. Sarion believes that it will encourage trade and economic activities across the Pacific Region.
The resolution also put emphasis on Tsutsui’s desire to establish long relationship with the Philippines, particularly the municipality of Daet to strengthen business opportunities with Hawaii.
Tsutsui said that he is speechless for the warm welcome of Daeteños and looks forward to a wonderful relationship with them for the upcoming years.
He said that relationship is more than business opportunities but it’s all about what’s inside in each one of us or what they call “Aloha” spirit which is to share and help one another.
“This relationship will our foundation as we move forward. I will invite Mayor Bernard Carvallo Jr. of the County of Kauai of State of Hawaii to go to Daet for the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the establishment of a sisterhood relationship for both the country”, he added.
Tsuitsui stated that with him in this endeavor is the Filipino Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii, a number of Filipino-Americans who are very successful in Hawaii who have joined the trade mission to look for an opportunity like renewable energy, resources, import and export of products and similar prospects.
Sarion on the other hand said that he was very happy that the town was part of their trade mission to the country.
“I am proud and honored to adopt Lt. Governor Tsutsui as honorary son of the Daet”. This MOA for sisterhood was initially tackled in Manila and the formal signing will be made soon, Sarion cited.
After the visit here, a tour followed where the group went to the town of Labo. Town Mayor Joseph Ascutia hosted a luncheon meeting cum forum on tourism and investment promotion. Ascutia also showed to the team the cacao and coconut farm in Barangay Masalong, pineapple decorticating plant and queen pineapple production of Labo Multi-Purpose Cooperative in Barangay Malasugui, Paradiso Verde Organic Farm and Resort, and the Cadig Cave and Malatap Falls.
FCCH President Paul Gaerlan Alimbuyao, Vice President and Manager of First Hawaiian Bank said that this year’s mission theme is “Strengthening business links with the Philippines.”
More than 34 business executives were here in the country from February 7 until 17 for the 25th Trade Mission of the FCCH. Along with Daet and Labo in Camarines Norte, FCCH also visited Manila for the business conference with the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) and to follow Cebu and Palawan.
