The Philippine Taiyuan Wang Clan General Office held its 93rd and 94th officers induction ceremony, alongside the 15th and 16th Women’s Group, 5th and 6th Youth Group and 17th Teachers Club at the East Ocean Palace Restaurant in Paranaque City on March 2, 2025.
Wang Wen Qing was elected as new president of the Taiyuan Wang Clan General Office.
Grand Family Association of the Philippines chairman Wu Hui Huang, Taiyuan Wang Clan Association Cebu Chapter chairman Wang Shan Ying and other leaders from the Filipino-Chinese community were present during the event.
Federation of Filipino Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (FFCCCII) vice president Victor Lim served as the guest speaker.
Lim highlighted the significant role of the Wang Clan, the largest clan in China, with over 90 million members, constituting 7.25 percent of the Chinese population.
He said the Wang Clan has made substantial contributions to Chinese history, producing notable thinkers, cultural figures and political leaders.
Lim explained that clans, such as the Wang Clan, are kinship organizations based on shared surnames, which have become popular among overseas Chinese communities.
He cited the importance of such organizations as platforms for uniting clan members, fostering social harmony and supporting national development.
Lim encouraged the Taiyuan Wang Clan General Office to collaborate with FFCCCII and other Filipino-Chinese community associations for the betterment of society.
Newly-elected president Wang donated P100,000 to the FFCCCII’s “Save Lost Chinese Students Grant Project,” aimed at supporting the education of Filipino-Chinese students.
