Philippines???

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Hi, just as a brief intro, I'm a UK expat working in Qatar, with family in the Philippines. Also amongst other things a soon to be retired EMEA-CC member.



On my last trip to Mindanao I was approached by a Niece who goes to one of the local universities for assistance in a industrial visit. Helping her was a no-brainer but then the gears in the brain slowly started turning!



What can the IET do to help support young professionals in such an empoverished area, especially as there is no LN in the Philippines according to the UK?



In other countries we've been keen on supporting students by way of student chapters...has this been considered in your region.



Sorry about poking my nose in on another CC, maybe when I retire permanently to Philippines I can give you guys some support there  but not quite yet.



Merry Xmas and a happy new year

    Hi Gareth, I'm certain we've jointly carried out some stage 2 reviews together!


    My home base is in North Cotabato but most of my time I'm working in Qatar as a yet to be displaced UK expat.


    Normally I only pass through Manila airport but do expect to be there for a few days toward the middle of the year.


    From my time on the EMEA-CC the PATW competition was always a good starting point for the Universities maybe the AP-CC can assit you there.


    Feel free to keep in touch
