Ambassador of the Philippines to Brunei Darussalam Marian Jocelyn R Tirol-Ignacio officiated the oath-taking ceremony of the 2023-2025 Executive Committee Officers of the Association of Filipino Educators (AFE) on July 25.
Association President Eulalia Mendoza Curaming led the oath-reading of the 10 newly-appointed committee members of AFE, formerly known as Brunei Filipino Educators Club (BFEC). She also introduced her team to the ambassador and expressed AFE’s appreciation for the embassy’s support.
The ceremony also saw Vice President Bethsaida Ruiz present the association’s upcoming projects, including the Filipino Language and Cultural Enrichment Programme (FLCEP).
