You plan to move to the Philippines? Wollen Sie auf den Philippinen leben?

There are REALLY TONS of websites telling us how, why, maybe why not and when you'll be able to move to the Philippines. I only love to tell and explain some things "between the lines". Enjoy reading, be informed, have fun and be entertained too!

Ja, es gibt tonnenweise Webseiten, die Ihnen sagen wie, warum, vielleicht warum nicht und wann Sie am besten auf die Philippinen auswandern könnten. Ich möchte Ihnen in Zukunft "zwischen den Zeilen" einige zusätzlichen Dinge berichten und erzählen. Viel Spass beim Lesen und Gute Unterhaltung!

The German Ambassador For the Philippines/Der deutsche Botschafter auf den Philippinen

is 
During my last Manila trip I got the chance to meet German Ambassador for the Philippines, Dr. Joachim Heidorn in the Embassy in Makati City/Manila. He took a lot of time allowing me to talk with him about "God and the whole world" - as a saying goes...

Dr. Heidorn is indeed a incredible statesman.


He was born in Hanover, Lower-Saxony in 1951, is married and has three children. He received his Ph.D. in Political Sociology in the University Marburg.

Dr. Heidorn stayed in several countries in the past, i.e. in the German Embassy London - as Deputy Head also in the German Embassies in Tripoli, Colombo (Sri Lanka) and Riad (Saudi Arabia). As he told me: Colombo was his most challenging time so far.

From 2008 till 2011 Dr. Heidorn became German Ambassador in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Since October 2011 he appointed in the Philippines.

Yes, it has been his wish to stay in the Philippines as German Ambassador. Long time ago he has been visited the Philippines as a tourist and fell in love to this tropical nation and its people. His family and he are feeling very well here and are well established already. 

Dr. Joachim Heidorn likes diving, the Beatles and reading. His favourite books is Thomas Mann's "Buddenbrooks".

The German Ambassador in Manila Dr. Joachim Heidorn: a very pleasant representative of the Federal Republic of Germany in the Philippines.

Thank you very much Ambassador for taking time and allowing me to ask many questions.

ERDA Vocational School Receives Grant from German Embassy

  

Under its small-scale projects scheme, the German Embassy in Manila granted 150,000 Pesos to the ERDA Technical and Vocational Secondary School in Manila yesterday.  The funds will be used for partially renovating and equipping the school's clinic, providing additional electric fans for its classrooms as well as giving technical equipment for its vocational training workshops. 

With its grant, the embassy wants to help improve ERDA's health services, provide a more conducive learning environment as well as develop a better quality of education.

Representatives of ERDA, led by School Principal Mrs. Jane Natividad, visited the Embassy for the contract signing of the project. German Ambassador Dr. Joachim Heidorn (photo) released the grant to Mrs. Natividad, who express her gratitude to the German Embassy.

Small-scale projects are local initiatives financed by the Federal Foreign Ministry through the German Embassy and are implemented through non-profit entities. Through quick and direct assistance, the projects aim to directly improve the quality of life among the poorest sectors of society.

For more information on the German Embassy grants for small-scale projects contact the Development Cooperation Section through http://www.manila.diplo.de  or 02 - 702 3035.
