The Filipino Social Club Dubai, under the visionary leadership of President Mr. Ericson Reyes, Vice President Ms. Ellanie Villena, Auditor & Director for Membership Mr. Ruzell Aguilar, and Board of Director & Director for Sponsorship Ms. Cecillia Leoparte, marked a significant milestone by paying a courtesy visit to the Pakistan Association Dubai (PAD) on the 23rd of October 2023.
The Pakistan Association Dubai, recognized as one of the pioneering and the largest CDA-licensed community organizations in Dubai, has consistently exhibited unwavering support and hospitality towards all its counterparts.
The warm and open arms extended by PAD, under the guidance of President Dr. Faisel Ikram and its dedicated Board of Directors, including Zahid Hassan, General Secretary, Khalid Imtiaz, Joint Secretary, and Abubakar Imtiaz, Head of Public Relations, exemplify the spirit of unity and cooperation that thrives within the multicultural community of Dubai.
During this meeting, both organizations engaged in fruitful discussions, exploring avenues for future collaborations with the promise of mutual benefits to their respective communities. Their shared commitment is to collaborate in the fields of Culture, Sports, and Welfare activities, with the aim of fostering a deeper sense of unity among the diverse members of the Dubai community.
A standout moment during the meeting was PAD’s generous sharing of strategies for community integration. Their valuable insights and experiences have provided the FilSoc with inspiration and guidance to achieve similar milestones, including securing land for community activities, sports facilities, an Auditorium, and a Medical Centre. This exchange of ideas and knowledge underscores the significance of community collaboration in realizing common objectives.
“In meeting with PAD, we found more than just a partner; we discovered a senior brother who has set the bar high. Their wisdom will guide us as we reach for the stars in service to our community,” said Mr. Aguilar, FilSoc Auditor.
“Through unity and collaboration with PAD, we’re not just exchanging ideas; we’re building bridges of opportunity and progress for our community,” he added.
The Filipino Social Club Dubai expresses its profound gratitude to PAD for their generosity and warm reception. This visit signifies the commencement of a promising journey of partnership and collaboration.
“We are grateful for the insightful meeting we had with Dr. Faisel Ikram, President of the Pakistan Association, and his board members, where they wholeheartedly shared valuable advice on how to nurture and expand the Filipino Social Club. We believe that true leadership is seen in the selfless act of imparting guidance and wisdom to emerging leaders,” said Vice President Villena.
The future holds exciting possibilities as both organizations join hands to serve their communities with greater dedication and purpose, setting a powerful example of unity and cooperation in Dubai’s multicultural landscape.
