Speech of PBA President, Liz Maquet, on the occasion of the FilCom General Meeting on September 12, 2010, at the Philippine Embassy in Paris in the presence of Her Excellency Rora Navarro-Tolentino, Philippine Ambassador to France and Consul Winston Almeda. Headed by the Consul General Rosalina Prospero, chairperson and moderator of the gathering of Filipino associations’ Presidents in Paris, the rallying point of the Dec 5 La Naval Committee to gather support for the aforementioned event was duly tackled on that day.

Good day, everyone. My name is Liz Maquet. I am happy to be here with you today at the invitation of Ate Nelia, President of Batangas Association .

I have been the president of PINOY’S BEST ASSOCIATION since 2008, representing the Filipino community principally in the Rhône-Alpes area, and other cities here like Lille and Paris. We have a few overseas members in New York as well as Amsterdam.

The foundation of our organization is built on a strong solidarity and unity among our members that work in unison to undertake various cultural projects throughout the year, both religious and non-religious in nature.

Events organized by Rev. Fr. Loys de Saint Chamas, Vice-Rector of the Basilica of Fourvière and the Honorary Consul of Lyon, Maître Jean -Jacques Rinck have our full-hearted support because these are movements to disseminate our cultural roots in France, our host country we have adopted to be our own.

And the reason why I stand here before all of you today is a manifestation of such commitment. In behalf of the Filipinos I represent, I enjoin you to support us in the coming important event in Lyon the Installation Ceremony of the Virgin Mary of La Naval de Manila at the crypt of the Basilica of Fourvière in Lyon on December 05, 2010.

Supporting this event in Lyon will signify an immeasurable place in the historical chronicles of the city for it is the first of its kind in the whole of Europe!!!

Supporting the Filipino community in Lyon will signify a holy sanctuary for the growing number of Filipino community not only in France, but Europe as a whole!

Supporting the community in Lyon will signify wide media coverage for the good image of the Philippines!!!!!!!

Thanks a lot. Mabuhay tayong lahat!!!!!!!

CAREGIVING

                                                                      Application closed!                                                                       

Demande:

We are looking for a Tagalog speaking female to help care for my mother from now until early November, or for as long a period as possible during that time frame.

My mother’s name is Paz. She is 66 years old and has Alzheimer’s. My father, Louis, is the primary caretaker. As I, and my other siblings, are leaving next week, we would like to find them some additional help for the rest of the time they will be here. Paz is fairly easy to care for. She has no memory and will get confused if she is left alone. She needs to be supervised 24/7. As my father needs to run errands, do things around the house, or just have some personal time, we need an extra person who can help supervise her. Paz really likes music and singing (a big plus if the caretaker likes to sing). Sing her a song shes familiar with, and she smiles and laughs instantly.

They are staying in a house in Thurins, about 20 kilometers west of Lyon. The house itself has several bedrooms, wireless internet, cable, and telephone. It has a nice property with a large back yard, a vegetable garden, and several fruit trees. There is a courtyard with additional parking space if needed.

 Salary:

Negotiated by PBA 12€ per hour (note that the SMIC price is 8.86€ gross per hour)

Duration:

Until early November 2010, please note that a minimum 5 hours a week.

Venue:

Thurins, West of Lyon

Other benefits:

To be negotiated, announced food and accommodation
