Thanks to Arlette, she suggested that I post again a new topic on our Expat Networking group. Our goal for this meeting since this is our first meeting is to get to know one another, get some people who would like to help me lead this group, and find out the needs of each one and see if we can help each other and support each other in different areas. Let me know if there is anyone who has kids. I have an 8 year old daughter whom I am homeschooling. My husband is an American from California and I am Filipina. Filipino/foreign salespeople, I understand that you want to do your business,I will give you an opportunity to network with our group at another time. Let us respect our expats and give them a chance to choose later on. So, please unless you are an expat, meaning you are a foreign national living in the Philippines or a balikbayan who is married to a foreign national, or a filipino who lived abroad for several years, please do not join this first meeting.
We will have two meetings to accomodate more people. One will be in Alabang - Thursday night at 7 pm Alabang Town Center. The other one will be in Makati, Sunday late lunch at 1 pm. The reason why I am choosing these days is to avoid traffic. Friday and Saturday nights are too toxic to travel.
Irina, since you will be coming from Clark, I suggest that we book you on an overnight stay at an affordable but secured place right across Greenbelt Makati. The rates can be PHP2000+ per night. Once my place is completely done, I can invite you to come and stay with my family. If you need a ride from Clark, I suggest that you ask the people from your workplace. Sometimes there are people who work there who might be coming to Manila so you can simply ride with them and schedule your way back with them as well.
There are some of you who are staying in Makati, can you please help me find the right restaurant in Greenbelt area? There a lot of great restaurants there where there are outside seats and tables. So far, the best food I've had there is Banana leaf where there is a variety of Asian food.
In Alabang Town Center, they have TGIF, Fish n Chips,Italiannis, Japanese, Korean, etc.
Please send me your contact info on a private message to avoid sales solicitors from picking up your numbers. Rest assured that it will be kept confidential and will not be sold. Don't worry, I am licensed in different discipline and I hold up to my integrity.
Scheduled dates: June 24, Thursday Alabang Town Center
June 28, Sunday Makati, Greenbelt
Let me know who will be able to make it. I need you guys to RSVP on a private message to pinaymentor.
Please set aside at least PHP500-1000 for food, drinks, etc.
Looking forward in seeing you all soon!
Sincerely,
Pinaymentor
