Four years ago, the Federation President Mallari together with PNJK President Escovilla and JPIC Coordinator Eve went to Japan for a courtesy visit to the different JPIC companies and to meet the nikkei jins sponsored by the companies.
One of the objectives of the meeting was to encourage the Nikkei jins to create a group in their locality to address their concerns and to make the Philippine Nikkei Jin Society in Japan solid and strong.
On May 31, 2017, one Nikkei jin group was successfully organized in Kagoshima, Japan. The group is named CHIRAN-CHO ENU CHICKEN NIKKEI JIN CLUB. The club has 31 members. The objective focuses
on the following: to serve as the support system to its members especially during hard times, to help members to learn the Japanese language, understand and appreciate Japanese culture at the same time promote Filipino culture to the Japanese people and most specially to promote camaraderie among its members and company staff, administration and people of the community.
The officers took their Oath during the company’s festival on August 2017. Their activities are Nihongo Lesson every 2nd Sunday of the month and community service among others.
The club organized a Sport fest on November 26, 2017, and was participated by the Nikkei jins, Japanese and Vietnamese trainees. The activity was very successful. This year they are planning for a group tour in Kagoshima.
Kudos to Chiran–Cho Enu Chicken Nikkei Jin Club!!!!
