March 17, 2021 - Collaboration Meeting between BCCI and the Confucius Institute at Bulacan State University. BCCI is planning to offer conversational Mandarin training course to its member companies by May 2021. Learning Mandarin, even if it’s only basic, increases one’s marketability and value. Being able to speak the language will help Filipinos deal with Chinese better, particularly in the area of business. It will also be an added skill and advantage for business people especially now that our government has a good relationship with China. This is also in anticipation of the arrival of Chinese tourists when the New Manila International Airport in Bulacan becomes operational.

Dr. Teody San Andres, Executive Vice President, BulSU
