Today was the first day we came together as a group here in Manila, Philippines. We received a warm welcome to the country from the Canadian Ambassador of the Philippines, Robert Desjardins, and his wife at their lovely home in Makati. This evening we were also introduced to the Deans of Nursing and faculty of UP Manila, Iloilo, and East Ramon.
During dinner, we discussed health concerns common to both Canada and the Philippines. We also acknowledged the potential for reciprocal learning opportunities between both participating parties in the area of Primary Health Care delivery. Following the meal, Whitney Palmer entertained the guests by playing the piano. It was a great honour to be invited to this event, and we would like to extend a thank-you to Sir Robert Desjardins for the wonderful evening.
