Japanese young and pretty entrepreneur Naho Oue will open skin clinic here in the Philippines to offer stem cell treatments! 

A successful businesswoman in Japan Naho Oue is set to join the plethora of skin gurus who specialize in beauty treatments and products.

Dia Lumina, the beauty clinic, scheduled to open this June 2019, as she plans to have it in Makati or BGC. The clinic will provide stem cell nutritional fluid beauty injections, facial beauty intravenous drip, laser hair removal, slimming spa treatment and blood cleansing. 

She speaks in English and learning some Filipino words, but during an exclusive interview in Japanese , she's with her interpreter (her Filipina friend).

Ms. Naho Oue told us that she will be bringing in Japanese doctors who will do training for the local doctors and staff here in the Philippines for the skin clinic. 

"I also plan to put up a skills school and perhaps try to also find them jobs in Japan. From carpentry, beauty, things like that. 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.

"I do have plans of putting up a restaurant as I already have one in Japan. Maybe in Malate or Trinoma if it happens. Maybe for now while I am waiting for spaces to be available I’ll go put up before Christmas season."

When I asked Ms. Naho Oue, what Filipino food she likes, "I love nilaga, adobo and lechon!”

Not just an entreprenuer, Ms Naho Oue is also an advocate. She does charity projects for children in Tondo Manila. “When I first came here, I went to the slums of Tondo and Smokey Mountain area, I instantly fell in love with the kids there. I do feeding programs about twice a month if I’m not busy. I am just a conduit of people who wanted to help (from Japan).”

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.”

Having the fun conversation with funny and smart Ms. Naho Oue, there are interesting plans she have! 

----   The main business purpose is the opening of skin clinic. 
----   To open skills school.
----   To open a Japanese restaurant
----   Will continue the charity projects for kids in Tondo, Manila

Corporate Governance Asia awarded BDO with the Asia’s Icon on Corporate Governance for the 14th time. The icon award recognizes the best of the best in corporate governance (CG) in Asia for setting the benchmark of what CG should be.

EXEMPLARY LEADERS. Teresita Sy-Coson, chairperson, and Nestor V. Tan, president and chief executive officer of BDO Unibank, Inc., were bestowed with the Asian Corporate Director Recognition Award by Corporate Governance Asia. 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.

Corporate Governance Asia publishes news and analysis on CG issues, boardroom practices, and shareholder activism. Now on its 14th year, its Best of Asia Awards celebrates the success of companies that adhere to the highest CG standards. Awardees have integrated effective Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices across their business. They are also awarded for the quality of their management, their business model, growth prospects, financial performance, and relative position in their industries.

“Part of getting recognized entails the responsibiliy to maintain our performance and if possible, exceed it. We welcome this challenge in keeping with our We Find Ways service philosophy, knowing that our clients stand to benefit further from our improvements,” concluded Sy-Coson.
