The Philippine Nikkei Jin Kai International School is now on its 8th year of operation by School year 2014-2015. We are now officially recognized by the Department of Education as a branch of PNJKIS Main Campus, offering complete elementary education and carrying the name PHILIPPINE NIKKEI JIN KAI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, CALINAN DAVAO CITY BRANCH.
Same as the main campus, we are also offering Nihongo Lesson to all levels in the elementary grades. Coping with the different programs of DepEd, we also sent contestants to some events though they didn’t come out winners but they were not at the bottom.
PNJKIS also offer summer classes in different subject areas such as reading, math and other curricular activities like drum, lyre, guitar and recorder playing lessons. This program also helps our non-permanent teachers to have an income during summer.
By the opening of classes, the school will be staffed with 13 teachers, 4 assistants, 2 Nihongo Teachers, a cashier, bookkeeper, 2 utilities and guards. As of now, we have already an enrollment of 114 and the grade 1 is about to close.
With the early visit of DepEd personnel to Calinan, they have recommended a bigger space for our library and computer room. So, the construction of an additional building good for 2 classrooms is ongoing, supported by PJNK INC. funds.
Fellow descendants let us continue to patronize our school and avail the different programs the school offers.

Our beloved Officers of the Federation
Greetings!
Thank you for your letter dated July 18, 2012 of which I received yesterday.
For your information, on August 20 0f 2010, I have retired as Honorary Consul-General of Japan in Ceremony hosted by the Embassy of Japan at Baguio Country Club, ending my humble 3 terms, totaling 15 years of service to the Government of Japan.
Early in September of that the sane year, I felt severe chest pains and was rushed to the Cardinal Santos Hospital in San Juan City, MM. The Angiogram result showed that my heart’s arteries had multiple blocks. I was given 3 options, to undergo multiple heart by-pass, angioplasty or not to undergo any procedure at all.
Considering my age of almost 80 at the time, we chose to go for Angioplasty. I was operated on September 9, 2012 and 6 Stents were interested in my left heart’s arteries. I thank the Almighty God for the successful operation. I will be turning 82 this year, but I have limited my physical activities and have tried to avoid mental stress as per my doctor’s advice.
I apologize for being inactive in the Federation’s activities for the above reasons.
Regarding the Federation Assembly meeting, yes, Mr. Onari called me years ago requesting for a Federation meeting and Mr. Buni also called my attention after the last PNLSC meeting that I attended in Manila.
After my operation I have long desired to call for a Federation meeting/election, so that I can formally turn-over my position to a new leadership. I cannot just resign from my position and fade away because the Embassy of Japan and other authorities still calls my attention and invites me in their activities now and then because of my former as Honorary Consul-General and as President of our Federation.
The other problem was the financial capability of the Federation to hold a meeting. However, as yopu have suggested in your letters that a meeting of the PNLSC will be held sometimes in November and the most of the Presidents of the chapters will be present, it will be very good opportunity for us to coincide our Federation meeting and election on the same date.
It appears in your letters that you have already acquired clearance from PNLSC. But I still made a formal request with PNLSC –Japan Chairman Atty. Kawai.
I am happy to inform you that I just received a call from their Secretary-General Nori Inomata that our request has been approved and our Federation meeting will be held in Manila in the morning of November 11, 2012 before the PNLSC meeting.
