Math Trainers Guild Phils (MTGP) Award for Anvil
Thanks to the tireless efforts of past Chairman and
active incumbent Director Bernard Go, and to the
unanimous support of the 16 Anvil Business Club (ABC)
officers, the 1,000-members Math Trainers Guild,
Philippines (MTGP) on June 4, 2005 conferred a special
award for our organization in support of two
international math olympiads last month in Tagbilaran
City, Bohol. ABC President Wilson Lee Flores and Past
Chairman Bernard Go received the special award for our
organization in formal rites. ABC was awarded ahead of
Philippine Airlines, Nestle and other big
institutions.
The special award for Anvil Business Club was given by and signed by MTGP led by President Dr. Simon L. Chua, Department of Science & Technology (DOST) Secretary Estrella F. Alabastro and Department of Education Secretary Florencio Abad. It was a special recognition for ABC's wholehearted and vigorous support for the successful "Philippine Elementary Mathematics International Contest" (PEMIC) and "Asia Inter-Cities Teenagers Mathematics Olympiad" (AITMO) 2005 held at Bohol Tropics Resort, Tagbilaran City, Bohol, the Philippines. Throughout these two biggest international math competitions ever hosted by the Philippines, the name of Anvil Business Club was the biggest on stage alongside that of Philippine Airlines.
During the awarding ceremony, ABC President Wilson Lee Flores on stage insisted that Bernard Go be requested to come forward by the emcee and officials, and be present during the awarding. Despite no longer being the incumbent Chairman or President, despite his diverse business obligations and growing family, and his involvement in the Filipino-Chinese Federation, Bernard Go continues to show concern for our organization, attends most of our meetings, never absent in our weekly badminton sessions, is active in the Board of Directors, and unselfishly shares his ideas for the welfare of ABC and our members. We are grateful to Past Chairman Bernard Go, thanks!
A few years ago, business leader and our supportive Past Chairman Michael G. Tan's father Lucio C. Tan had also donated a huge donation to sponsor another international math olympiad organized by MTGP in Tagaytay, and Lucio Tan also gave all the credit of his multi-million peso donation to the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (FFCCCII) of which he is now Honorary Chairman. This is an act of leadership and selflessness, and we learned this only from MTGP officers.
Anvil Business Club (ABC) supports MTGP, an organizatyion of over 1,000 volunteer math teachers and trainers nationwide, who are at the forefront of the campaign to improve math education in all schools of the Philippines. ABC believes support for MTGP and their math education reforms will have tremendouis impact on the Philippine economy, especially in our fight to eliminate scandalous wastage, excessive corruption, lack of public accountability and common sense in many spheres of Philippine government and other sectors.

and Industry, Inc. (FFCCCII), the largest organization
in our Chinese community, on June 8 hosted a dinner
meeting for Anvil Business Club (ABC) 2005 Board of
Directors in Emerald Garden Restaurant in Roxas Boulevard, Manila. The main
topic for discussion was cooperation between the two
organizations, for better public service to the
Filipino-Chinese youth of our generation and how to
undertake joint projects beneficial to the Philippine
economy.

In behalf of Anvil Business Club, Wilson Lee Flores said that bigness or being a major organization is not the real asset of our organization but the exceptional quality, immense talents, great energies, high idealism, teamwork and aggressive dynamism of all our 16 officers in the 2005 Board of Directors and our fast-growing membership. He thanked Federation for hosting the dinner meeting, for their goodwill to our group, and that Anvil Business Club is honored to have this unique opprtunity to work together with Federation and to be able to gain advices from our community elders. He expressed Anvil's willingness to cooperate with the Federation on future major joint projects.
Federation President Francis Chua was very humble, explaining that their organization's Youth Committee originally wanted to invite Anvil to join them or to have joint projects with them, but he said that they recognize that Anvil Business Club is now a major organization and dynamic, they felt it was only proper that Federation and Anvil sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Cooperation to undertake major projects to help our Filipino-Chinese youth. Francis Chua invited Anvil to become an affiliate or associate member group of Federation, so that Federation will have an obligation to continuously support our major projects, but he stressed that the proposed arrangement shall maintain Anvil Business Club's independence and identity.
Wilson Lee Flores also pointed out that we at Anvil Business Club take pride in the growing contributions to the Federation of Anvil past Chairmen David Chua, Michael G. Tan and Bernard Go, and foresee their becoming future leaders of the Federation. Our officer Bobby Sy is also active with the Bulacan Filipino-Chinese Chamber, and past Chairman Peter Mangasing is also leader of the electrical industry association, while past Chairman Steven Cua is now also President of Philippine Amalgamated Association of Supermarkets (PAGASA).
One of the major concerns discussed by both groups was how to aggressively promote the Hokkien dialect, Past Chairman Mike Tan gave his ideas on the importance of reforming Chinese-language education and promote Chinese/Confucian cultural values to our youth generation nationwide. A lot of major joint projects on a national scale had been discussed.
Anvil Business Club (ABC) is grateful to the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce & Industry, Inc.

The Chinese media news recognizes Anvil Business Club as a fast-rising and dynamic force, whose 16 officers/directors and fast-expanding membership will not only promote entrepreneurship and excellence among the youth, but a catalyst for closer Phil-China economic, trade, cultural and other cooperation. The news reports quoted Anvil Past Chairman Michael Tan saying that the Filipino-Chinese youth should visit booming China at least once a year. ABC President Wilson Lee Flores extended an invitation for Ambassador Wu to speak at our prestigious "Anvil Exchange Forum", and he had accepted.
