I brought my Mom here too!  So if I do have commitments she can personally take care of him (her son). Hopefully he’ll be studying in an international school here in the Philippines,” said Ms Naho Oue.

Twenty- six years old, Ms. Naho Oue, fell in love with the Philippines.

About the difference between Filipino women and Japanese women, she shares her observations that “Filipinas are very hard working, Japanese women tend to stay at home when they get married, they rarely use make up too.”

Also during the 14th Best of Asia Awards, BDO was also given the prestigious Asia’s Icon on Corporate Governance Awardand the Asia’s Outstanding Company on Corporate Governance Award.

The country’s largest bank also took home the Asia’s Outstanding Company on Corporate Governance Award for its consistently high CG standing, while BDO Chairperson Teresita Sy-Coson and President & CEO Nestor V. Tan were co-awarded with the Asian Corporate Director Recognition Award for their exemplary leadership.

“Corporate governance is now deeply embedded in Asia, which in many ways, serves as an attractive proposition for investors to park their capital in this region,” said Corporate Governance Asia Founder and Publisher Aldrin Monsod. “Corporations here have adopted and continue to adapt to the best international practices that have made Asia an important investment destination for global fund managers.”

For Tan, CG is valuable in maintaining a healthy, financially-sound, and well-managed bank. “It is a key driver towards our sustainable growth and long-term value creation,” he said.

BDO’s CG practice is recognized as one of the best in the Philippines. With a high score on the ASEAN CG Scorecard, the bank is one of the Top 50 ASEAN Publicly-Listed Companies in Corporate Governance.

Having an award-winning CG practice bodes favorably among foreign investors. BDO has received an over subscription in its capital market offerings, one of the clear indications that it is a good credit risk as an issuer.

“We are always looking out for our clients. To serve them in the best possible way, we constantly evolve our CG practices to support the requirements of the changing business landscape, comply with new regulations, and align with international best practices,” added Tan.
