16 July 2019 Dear Sir/Madam, Greetings! We are BRYDGE Philippines Inc., a SEC-registered organization that aims to develop the potentials and competencies of students in numerous fields through skills development and industry-relevant training abroad. As our name stands for Better Road for Youth Development and Gainful Employment, we believe that students deserve a fair chance at developing their skills in top establishments in the world. Our Chairman, Dr. Ignacio S. Pablo, is an esteemed educator, leader, and widely recognized authority in the Philippine educational system. With over 50 years of solid experience in the academe, he is the Honorary Founding President of the Council of Hotel and Restaurant Educators of the Philippines (COHREP), Director for Associate Members of the Hotel and Restaurant Association of the Philippines (HRAP), Director of Approtech Asia, Director and Dean Emeritus of the Philippine Institute of Nutrition, Food Science and Technology (PINFST), and a recognized civic leader for decades in the Rotary Club of Rizal West, District 3830. He envisions a better future for the Filipino youth through gainful employment backed by quality training under world-class establishments and institutions through the Student Internship Abroad Program (SIAP) of Universities in the Level 2 category. For several years now, BRYDGE has been providing Filipino students to only Five (5) Star, world-renowned resorts and hotels in Thailand for their internship. A few of our partner host establishments are JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa, Le Meridien Phuket Resort & Spa, Movenpick Resort and Spa, Amatara, and The Slate, located in Phuket, as well as the Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen's Park Hotel in Bangkok. Apart from our Thailand program, we are also expanding our SIAP program to Japan. After meeting with several Japanese schools and companies, the idea of having Filipino interns was received with high regard. The idea of the “Japanese way of nurturing and molding” the students through a one (1) year internship period is very exciting to the Japanese, more so the possibility of these students going back to Japan after they graduate for regular employment. The Japanese is incredibly supportive of the idea of helping the Filipino youth achieve gainful employment here and abroad, and are greatly enthused by this opportunity to assist us. Below are the areas which are of great interest to them to prepare Japan of its manpower needs for the next decades: Accommodation Industry Agriculture Automobile repair and maintenance Aviation Industry Building cleaning Management Construction Industry Electric, Electronics, and Information Industries Fishery and Aquaculture Food service industry Industrial machinery industry Machine Parts and Tooling Industries Manufacturing of food and beverages Nursing care skills Shipbuilding and Ship Machinery Industry In line with this, we would like to invite your university to become our partner in this endeavor to help our Filipino youth. We would like to further discuss the details of our program with you at your most convenient time. However, if it is more convenient with you, thanks to technology we can communicate with you faster through Skype, Viber, or Messenger calls, if that works better. Attached herewith is our Company Brochure, Company Profile and SEC Registration for your perusal and reference. Please let us know if we can provide you with more details about how we can work on this partnership. We look forward to hearing from you soon, as well as meeting with you in the near future.
