BAGAC, BATAAN eagerly awaits APEC delegates

Bagac, Bataan eagerly awaits delegates to the two events of the Finance Ministers’ Process (FMP) of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) — “Workshop on Fiscal Management through Transparency and Reforms” and Senior Finance Officials’ Meeting” — that will run from June 9-12, 2015.

The delegates will meet at Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, a heritage park and hotel where they can learn about the rich history of Bataan.

Finance Secretary Cesar V. Purisima looks forward to the start of the meetings, saying: “We walk the talk when we say ‘It’s more fun in the Philippines.’ We did not opt for a conventional hotel; we wanted to deliver a unique experience. APEC delegates are in for a taste of redefined hospitality in Bagac as they bask in the past while charting the region’s future.”

He adds, “When delegates remember APEC 2015 in Bagac, we want them to recall not only which regional priorities they successfully advanced, but that they did it where beauty defied time and space.”
