Activities or Where to Bring Visiting Foreign Executive

**_Cathy_** · October 19th, 2017 04:10 PM

If you were in my place, would you meet your new VP from headquarters in Europe on a HOLIDAY to tour him around Manila?

Our new VP is arriving Oct 31 e holiday yun e! I'm thinking if I should volunteer to tour him around pero honestly tinatamad ako. If it were my boss baka ako pa sumundo sa airport hahaha

But I'm thinking I need this for my.career hahaha just kidding. Pero if it were me kasi I'd appreciate it if my people would have done that for me. It's his first time in the Philippines kasi.

If it could help your career, why not?

I don't really know if it will. I just want to make a good impression on our VP. I'm actually not happy because I like our former VP better (who endorsed my recent promotion)

Also, medyo naawa ako. It's his first time in the Philippines kasi.

I was thinking Makati, BGC, Tagaytay, or your not so favorite mall, SM MoA.😆

But sometimes, foreigners want more of a cultural tour. Fort Santiago, Rizal Park. Maybe you could ask your VP what this new guy likes.

Hope somebody could come up with better suggestions.

Old churches in Cavite or in Pampanga.....or in MM Bamboo Organ LPC, Manila Cathedral, San Agustin, San Sebastian.... marami....

German right? Don't bring him to the beach,- automatic maghuhubad iyan.... hehehe

I'm thinking Intramuros nga. Okay kaya on November 1? But the problem is I am not familiar with the area at all.

Yes he is German. Pag uwi ng boss ko next year, dalhin ko nga sa beach HAHAHAH!

Yes I hate MOA or any SM mall

Our former VP is on a long vacation, nagkasakit na from stress

That's the reason why we have a new VP, our old VP broke down his teams so he will have less responsibilities.

If he heads your business unit, then maybe yes.

Pero if hindi naman, then maybe no.

Yes. He is the boss of my boss and he is based at our HQ in Europe. Newly promoted (effective November 1).

I'm not the reason why he is going here since I'm the only person under him that is based in Manila (was supposed to be transferred to HQ in 2016). He is working with another department pero ako lang kasi kakilala niya sa Manila hahaha

Then that would be a BIG yes!

Pero you can tour him once lang, no need for follow-up tours.

If i were the boss, i would be extremely pleased that someone took the effort to show me around on a holiday.

Once is enough, i guess?

If once only, I was thinking Tagaytay? Pero it might be traffic on November 1

Onga no, maraming awkward silence moments jan if ever.

I agree with cvt, take him somewhere more "FILIPINO"

Just to share, we once had an expat from England, we took him everywhere, from Pool club to Belle and Dragon to Tide's. Guess ano binalik balikan niya... TIDE'S!!!
