In response to Pres. Aquino’s state visit to Canada on 7-9 May (and his invitation for Canadian businessmen to check out the Philippines as an investment alternative), the Canadian Government immediately organized a Trade Mission which visited just two weeks after the President’s visit. This Mission made up of Canadian Corporations interested in the Phil. market was  to look into the areas of agriculture and agri-food, defense and security, information and communication technology, infrastructure and sustainable technology industries.  On their first day here on 25 May 2015, PAGASA’s STC was invited to lead a Focused Group Discussion with those interested in the Agriculture and Agri-foods industry together with Jesse Cham/Pres.- Meat Importers and Traders Association. STC was assisted on his power point presentation by his daughter, Ana Sharmila Cua.
