Cultural Gala – 31 May 2025 – Saturday Night
It is with great honor for me to introduce to you our first guest of honor tonight. This person is a career diplomat and a lawyer. He is a graduate of the University of the Philippines with degrees in Political Science and Law obtained in 1984 and 1988, respectively. He joined the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs in April 1990 and has served in various capacities at the Home Office in Manila and in foreign service posts in Milan, Brussels, Beijing, and Macau Special Administrative Region. Throughout his esteemed diplomatic career, he has consistently championed dialogue, cooperation, and the values that define true leadership. His insight, integrity and unwavering commitment to national service continue to inspire not only those in the foreign service but also the broader Filipino community that includes us who are in the diaspora. Therefore, we are so privileged to have him with us tonight to share his thoughts and reflections of which we are certain his words will leave us encouraged, enlightened, and inspired.
He is the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of the Philippines to the Kingdom of Belgium, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and the European Union
Please welcome His Excellency Ambassador JAIME VICTOR B. LEDDA.
