The Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce & Industry, Inc. (FFCCCII), under the leadership of President Dr. Cecilio K. Pedro, proudly presents a generous gift of 5 million pesos to celebrate EJ Uy Obiena, the Philippines’ first gold medalist at the Hangzhou Asian Games and the world’s second-best pole vault athlete. This heartwarming gesture took place at the FFCCCII Building in Manila on October 10, 2023.
This 5 million peso cash incentive forms part of the remarkable 10 million peso reward extended to EJ Obiena by both the Chinese community and his beloved Alma Mater, Chiang Kai Shek College. These funds will greatly assist the star pole vaulter in his preparations for the highly anticipated 2024 Paris Olympics.
