Manila TECO staffer talks about getting Philippine award
Staff writer, with CNA
A staff member of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in Manila who is preparing to wrap up his second stint at the office would be returning to Taiwan in February with a Philippine police decoration for having helped his host government arrest several criminal suspects.
Jerry Wang (王智勇), who has served as the equivalent of a police attache at the office, first served in the Philippines from July 2011 to January 2016 and was reassigned to Manila in December 2016.
Thanks to Wang’s help, Taiwan and the Philippines have solved several major transnational crimes during his stint in Manila, the TECO said on Saturday.

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Canada Music Week (Nov. 22-28), the Lethbridge Branch of the Alberta Registered Music Teachers’ Association (ARMTA) produced a video of students playing works by Canadian Composers. The video was viewed by students, teachers and families by Zoom on Nov. 28. The video recital featured 29 students performing selections by Canadian composers including Anne Crosby Gaudet, Christine Donkin, Nancy Telfer, Linda Niamath, Clifford Poole, Andrew Markow, Pierre Gallant, Jean Coulthard, Stephen Chatman, Boris Berlin and Alexina Louie. Students participated in a scavenger hunt looking for clues about Canadian composers on informational slides that were part of the video recital inserted between performers. Nineteen students submitted scavenger hunt entries for 10 gift-card prizes drawn on Dec. 5.
