Published today (May 16, 2008) in the Philippine Daily Inquirer an article by Ms. Edel Mary D. Vegamora, CIA, the CIA Country Coordinator-Philippines, the revised version of her earlier article (posted here), this one entitled, “Filipino Auditors on Top of the World”.
Excerpt follows:
There is more reason to rejoice as we have 217 more CIAs in the Philippines, the highest passing figure so far since the CIA examination was conducted in the Philippines. There was a deluge of examinees in November 2007, 496 to be exact, when The Institute of Internal Auditors Inc., International announced in January 8, 2007 that they would shift from paper to computer-based examinations beginning 2008.
This is an issue of racial descrimination. But what’s my take on this issue?
There are a very few movies or tv series (if there is any, indeed) related to accounting or the lives of professional accountants, very rare is the opportunity to demonstrate the descrimination against Filipino CPA’s or accounting professionals in movies or tv series.
A short film by a Filipino director from Cebu which became his entry in On the Lot, a reality show for aspiring Hollywood directors co-produced by Steven Spielberg.
Well, the film and the director, Paolo Dy, didn’t make it to the top 50. It was too late for us to support the film and vote for it in the On the Lot website. Nevertheless, I recommend that you watch the film and witness the brilliance by Filipinos behind the film. A proof at how a Pinoy can be great in filmmaking stage.
