During my formative years, it used to baffle me every time my father would write letters and put some cash into them before sealing the envelope. I also wondered who the recipients were. Know more:
It was my father’s way of supporting the relatives he left behind in China, and he wasn’t actually alone doing that.
Remember that the Chinese came to our country long before the Spaniards, Americans, and Japanese set foot on our land and conquered our nation. Unlike other nationalities that came here to conquer us, these people with Chinese blood came to the Philippines to do business and live peacefully side by side with Filipinos.In fact, many of them today have grouped themselves and formed the Huaren Society in the country. They are businessmen, executives, politicians, and professionals from different sectors who are still quietly doing their share to promote peace and prosperity in the country.
This is why the Huaren Society in the country has started contacting other Huaren organizations in the Southeast Asia and other parts of Asia so they can schedule a trip to Beijing with the hope of serving as ambassadors of peace for the neighboring nations. They wish to open more economic and diplomatic channels between the peoples of China and other Asian countries, and hopefully create new opportunities for cooperation in multiple fields.
