Allow me to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to the members who came and participated in the activities held last May 19, 2013, the 33rd General Assembly of the PNJK Inc.
For those who were unable to attend due to reason beyond your control, you are hereby notified that every second Sunday of May each year such event takes place. This must be so because the members are entitled to know what so far the officials have done the past months and will further undertake in contributing to the progress and development not only of the Nikkei Jin Community but the whole Davao City, as well.
Each entity in the campus, the PNJK, Inc., which is the mother association, the PNJK-IS, the MKD, the Polyclinic and Diagnostic Center, the Cooperative and our latest contribution to the educational arena is the construction of a new school building in Calinan, gave not only narrative reports but the financial standing of each. Our association is the only group that is service oriented, providing medical services other than producing professionals in various fields. We are proud to state that we are the only group that has embarked on education, medical and economic development which is the Cooperative. It is hoped that you as members will continue to keep updated with the activities of the association as well as extend assistance in whatever way that you can for unification, harmony and attainment of the most elusive peace.

Those descendants who were single at the time of registration and are currently married, you are requested to submit your certificates of marriage and if a child is born, furnish the office copy of the live certificate as well as the death certificates of the family member who have left ahead of us. This is a requirement the Embassy of Japan in Manila is asking for their office consumption.
Members are likewise informed to take note of the Iresai Celebration which is usually observed every August 15, but at times moved on a weekend to give members who are employed the opportunity to be around. Our association is regularly observing the week-long celebration of the RP-Japan Festival in the month of October where most of the benevolent Japanese benefactors take time to fly from Japan to Davao just to be with the Nikkei Community.
PNJK, Inc. is likewise a co-sponsor of Kichijoji Lions Club and Datu Uchida Foundation and the Davao City Baseball Association in the Davao City Baseball Cup which is being held every February-March of each year. Public and private schools in the Elementary and High School levels have been fielding their teams to this event.
The most important thing is find time to come or call our office and we are encouraging all to be part of the association’s activities.
