On 30 November 2024, Saturday, upon arrival in Bendigo, the participants were met by Bendigo Mayor Cr ANDREA METCALF and City of Greater Bendigo CEO ANDREW COONEY.<\/p>

Both CEO COONEY and Mayor METCALF briefed the group on the history of Bendigo and its heritage from the gold rush of the 1850s. They also discussed the strengths of Bendigo\u2019s economy in gastronomy and tourism, agriculture, defence industry and in particular, healthcare, which is one of the sectors that has drawn in the Filipino community. They also highlighted Bendigo\u2019s multiculturalism, and the great contributions of the Filipino community to Bendigo as the city\u2019s population and economy grows.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Consul Ralph Vincent C. Abarquez, also gave the participants an overview of social media usage<\/em> in the Philippines, Australia and other countries with comparative statistics. He presented the different forms of social media platforms that are popular at home and in the host country. He also asked the group on the effectiveness of Post\u2019s existing platforms and reach. During this part of the session, it was agreed that public reach through social media has greatly improved and that Post can continue to effectively promote its mandate on social media through the addition of another platform, namely LinkedIn. A workshop on taking effective photos proved enjoyable and instructive.<\/p>

As part of effective communication, <\/em>one of the DFA\u2019s core competencies, a quick guide with essential best practices for writing press releases was shared by Consul General Salcedo.<\/p>
