Greetings / ごあいさつ

南の隣国フィリピンは、我が国と長く深い関係にある重要なパートナーです。昨今、両国の関係はかつてないほどに良好で、民間交流も活発化しています。
そうしたなか、私たちは、フィリピン人の方々とともに両国のさらなる友好親善と相互理解を図ることを目指した活動に取り組んでおります。
私たちのイベントは今回で４回目を迎え、前回は新型コロナウィルスの影響下にもかかわわらず、多くの方々にご参集いただき安全かつ成功裡に終えることができました。フィリピンの文化の魅力や楽しさをより多くの方々に感じてもらうこと、さらに、日比両国の合意に基づいた経済的交流の主役となる日系企業の活躍を紹介することを目指しています。
今回も、パワーあふれるフィリピン人とフィリピンを愛する多くの日本人とが協働して親善・友好促進の場となるようなイベントの実現に向け取り組んでまいります。

The Republic of the Philippines is one of the most important neighboring partners that have a long and deep relationship with our nation.
Today, the relationship between Japan and the Philippines is the best that we have ever had. Our civilian exchange has also witnessed a daily increase.
In this situation, we have aimed to further kind relations between both countries and mutual understanding with Filipino residents in Japan.
Back in 2019, this event had attracted more than 60,000 visitors with remarkable success. Then last year, despite the influence of the COVID 19 and its restrictions, we were able to hold the event safely.
This year, we would like to present more fun at the venue. And let you know once again the activities Japanese companies are doing in the Philippines to further boost our economic relationship that is based on the agreement between two countries.
We promise to work towards the realization of holding this event to promote goodness and friendship of Japan and Philippines.
