In celebration of diplomatic ties and shared aspirations, President Manjit T. Singh Reandi and Vice President Jane Theresa G. Tabalingcos joined the commemoration of Hungary’s National Day on October 14, 2025, held at Shangri-La The Fort by invitation of H.E. Titanilla Tóth and Mr. Arkadiusz Jan Traez. The event, hosted by the Embassy of Hungary in Manila, brought together dignitaries, diplomats, and development partners for an evening of unity, artistry, and meaningful exchange.
The presence of JHMC’s top executives underscored the growing relationship between the Philippines and Hungary, emphasizing not only cultural diplomacy but also a shared commitment to sustainable development. This celebration served as a platform to reaffirm mutual interests in ecological stewardship and technical collaboration.
Recent dialogues between JHMC and Hungarian counterparts have centered on innovative strategies for urban forestry, biodiversity conservation, and climate-resilient tree management. These discussions gained momentum following a visit to Camp John Hay, where delegates engaged with JHMC’s technical teams and witnessed the corporation’s dedication to ecological integrity and heritage preservation.
JHMC affirmed its openness to knowledge exchange and collaboration, recognizing Hungary’s legacy in scientific forestry and environmental innovation as a natural complement to its mandate of protecting and enhancing the forested landscapes of Camp John Hay. This growing partnership reflects a shared vision, where heritage, science, and sustainability converge to shape resilient communities and greener futures.
