PJLA members gathered for their Annual Membership Meeting last August 8, 2019 at The Philippines-Japan Friendship Center in Makati City. The different activities and accomplishments of the organization so far for this year was summarized in a presentation led by PJLA president, Mrs. Nora A. Torres. The highlights included January 2019’s Shinnenkai, the Japanese cake and tea ceremony hosted by Madame Ihoko Haneda, and the conferment of the Imperial Award to former PJLA President, Ma. Elena Loinaz.
