Iloilo City Government’s success in good governance caught the interest and inspired international students of a Chinese university.
“We would like to thank you for your efforts and congratulate you on your successful achievements you have made in your work,” ZhiRen Hu, student representative of Hunan University of Arts and Science (HUAS) wrote Mayor Jed Patrick E. Mabilog.
“All of the students like you very much and support your work. We believe that you will create a happier life and brighter future through your great industrious work and wisdom,” he added.
Hu was even “very glad to invite” Mabilog to visit their university and address the students in the near future.
They also boast of “hospitality of warm and friendly students who welcome you with an open smile.”
Mabilog stressed the citation is a manifestation that Iloilo City is becoming well-known and recognized globally. He added that having a link will become an avenue that will pave way for learning exchange and interaction between Ilonggos and international students.
For the meantime, Hu asked Mabilog for an inscription and autographed photographs for their collection and exhibition to be shared with students, teachers and friends as a source of inspiration.
“Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to read this letter and I feel very honored and pleased. Please allow me personally as well as on behalf of the university students, to extend our very best wishes to you and your family,” stated Hu.
