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

    The AP PATW regional final is going to be in Sydney in August.  It may be getting too late to organise an event for the Philippines this year, I'm not sure? 


    If not, getting funding would be the first step - there will be costs associated with this, including flight to the regional final, prizes for the winner, etc


    If it is too late this year, then requesting funding for next year is still a good first step :)


    As I said, Derek Boardman is our finance lead for Asia-Pacific, so sending him a private message is a good starting place.


    Cheers,
