TFC named Business of the Year by Daly City
At the historic installation of newlyelected City Council members at the City Council Chambers of Daly City’s Civic Center, The Filipino Channel (TFC) was named Mayor’s Business of the Year. According to Mayor Juslyn Manalo, TFC provides entertainment and offers shows that reflect the Filipino culture and values. Manalo adds, “For the past two years, they’ve partnered with Daly City to do the Filipino American History Month celebration and it’s wonderful to partner with a business that cares about the community. We see a long-term partnership with The Filipino Channel and it’s an honor to present this award to them.”
ABS-CBN Global head of corporate affairs and PR Nerissa Fernandez accepted the award on behalf of Global COO Olivia De Jesus and North and Latin America managing director Jun del Rosario. In her speech, Fernandez quoted the late chairman emeritus Don Eugenio Lopez Jr. when he was asked if ABS-CBN is about values first or service first. “ABSCBN is about values first because values comprise the soul of service,” she said, adding that “Daly City provided us a business environment wherein we could freely put into practice our cherished corporate values.”
In attendance at the ceremonies were California State Sen. Scott Wiener and assembly member Philip Ting of the California Legislature, both of whom also presented TFC with certificates of recognition.
Other attendees of the special meeting of the City Council were congresswoman Jackie Spier, San Mateo County supervisor David Canepa, former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown. Other awards given out by the city are the Citizen of the Ye,ar, Commissioner of the Year and Youth of the Year.
