Jimenez also mentioned that as a Filipino or as an individual, we are ready for the ASEAn Integration.
According to Ms. Luz Co- Laguitao, the PMAP Vice President and Annual Conference Chair, the way to go is to be an Entrepreneur and if a team member, everyone needs to remove the box or not just think that there is no box but go out from the box to be ahead of the competition.
Discussed also during the Press Conference was the Bill that Senator Pia Cayetano is pushing and Mr. Rene M. Gener, the PMAP Executive Director reiterated that they are supporting this Bill.
Senator Pia S. Cayetano wants an end to
what she considers an emerging type of discrimination in the labor front
- discrimination in employment based on a person's age - as the ranks
of the jobless continue to swell while young college graduates are added
to the workforce every year.
Cayetano's Senate Bill No. (SBN) 29 seeks
to eliminate age discrimination in employment by prohibiting and
penalizing any employer, labor contractor or labor organization that
will discriminate against any individual on the basis of his or her age.
During the main event from the 599th General Membership Meeting, 3 Notable Pinoys namely Mr. Marlon Stockinger (Junior Racer, Lotus F1 Team), Ms. Bea Rose Santiago ( 2013 Miss International) and Mr. Reuben Laurente (World Class Entertainer) shared their insights on how to achieve success and at the same time bringing a good name for the country.
