Executive Assistant) and Ms. Joyce Maloles (CARD Inc. Head Executive Assistant), visited Bangkok Thailand to attend the 40th Anniversary Celebration and Asian Credit Union Convention of the Association of Asian Confederation of Credit Unions.  The delegates attended the April 28 Convention where they were able to listen on talks about Cooperatives from several prominent leaders including Dr. Jaime Aristotle Alip, CARD MRI Founder and Managing Director, who spoke on the topic: “Meaningful Celebration of the International Year of Cooperatives 2012: CU reaching out ¼ of the pyramid.”  The unforgettable experience of the

delegates also included a tour in the Grand Palace, visit in several cooperatives and the viewing of a cultural show in Siam Niramit.  The delegates had their final night in Thailand by sharing a “Pinoy Ako” dance number in front of the international participants while wearing their Filipinianas.  Having this trip as the first international plane ride of the delegates, they were all overflowing with joy and gratitude for CARD as they all went back to the Philippines.
