GBF China Scholars 2007 Focus

KNOWLEDGE-ORIENTED GOAL
     To develop a holistic understanding and appreciation of China.

SKILL-ORIENTED GOAL
     To acquire language proficiency, enhance fields of specialization and interests, and build networks.

VALUE-ORIENTED GOAL
    To create Filipino leaders with a multi-cultural and global mindset who are devoted to improving Filipino society.

The CORE VALUES

As a GBF SCHOLAR, I am:

-Passionate & committed
-Proud to be Pinoy
-Dynamic
-A person of integrity
-Continuously striving for excellence

The Visionary: MR. JOHN GOKONGWEI JR.

“The all expenses paid scholarship hopes to encourage future Filipino leaders to better understand the ‘economic miracle’ of China and eventually help the Philippines benefit from this phenomenon. It is tragic that much of the Philippine society only looks up to the West traditionally for trade, aid, cultural exchanges and ideas, instead of the ancient civilization and the fast-growing economy of China.”
