Last year, I was at Ninoy Aquino
International Airport Terminal 3 every week for my National Service Training
Program (NSTP), encoding OFWs’ papers into the POEA’s data systems at their
booth. For each of those times, I would always pass by a board with the logo of
APEC 2015: Philippines. What did it mean to me back then? I found it exciting
that several world leaders would be coming into the country, but felt more eager
to see what the Philippines can do as a host country.
Fast forward to Tuesday
and Wednesday (November 17 & 18), I found myself among the CEOs and
Economic Leaders as a volunteer stationed at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel. What
a dream come true.
