Filipino-Japanese children surprise Aquino with wish of good health and success

Filipino-Japanese children wish President Benigno S. Aquino III good health to enable him to fulfill his goal of achieving a better future for the Filipino citizenry and the entire country as a whole. The children’s wish for the President was just one of many contained in the Box of Tanzaku (meaning wishes and dreams) which they presented to the Chief executive during his attendance at a gathering with the Filipino community on Sunday at the main auditorium of the Japan Education Center here. The President, who arrived here at the start of his four-day official working visit, personally received the Box of Tanzaku from the Filipino-Japanese children represented by three boys and three girls which highlighted the event. Aside from their wish for the Chief Executive, the box also contained the children’s dreams for themselves and the future of the Filipino children.
