This is his statement:
“The Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce & Industry, Inc. (FFCCCII) thanks award-winning singer, songwriter and businessman Jose Mari Chan for his recent selfless contribution to our efforts to promote better friendship and win-win cooperation between the Philippines and our ancient trade partner and ally China. We also pay tribute to him for his numerous, inspiring musical contributions to Philippine culture. His late father Antonio Chan was also a respected business and civic leader.”
“FFCCCII congratulates the multi-awarded screenwriter, journalist, novelist, playwright and educator Ricky Lee for this year being conferred the honor as National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts. Apart from his numerous literary and journalistic works which have enriched Philippine culture, we also remember his late father Dy Hian Chin who was a scholar and had served as humble, respected and dedicated secretary of the Camarines Norte Filipino Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry.”
“FFCCCII cites actor Coco Martin of the TV series ‘FPJ’s Ang Probinsiyano’ for his success in playing the role of crusading police Cardo Dalisay.
