Last July 16–18, 2023, Mr. Kiyoshi Goto(former Chairman of Kandenko), Special Advisor of Kandenko Co., Ltd., visited the Philippines Arayat Training School. On his visit, our students had a chance to meet Mr. Goto and ask for advice. The following is an excerpt from Mr. Kiyoshi Goto’s inspirational speech to the students of the Philippines Arayat Training School:

“We at Kandenko are ready and waiting to accept this year`s PATS graduates from this October.

I hope that many of you will pass the exam and join our company. Now, I would like to take this opportunity to share with you, young people, the most important lessons I learned from my career. Without effort and perseverance, you will not be able to succeed in work, nor will you be able to earn money. A world where you can get money for nothing does not exist. When you first come to Japan, you may feel sad or lonely due to the different environment and language, and unfamiliar work. Maybe you will want to go back to the Philippines, but always remember that if you endure and overcome the difficulties, you will definitely achieve success. Kandenko will take all possible measures to accept all of you and help you to grow your skills and return to the Philippines, so please come to Japan with hope.”

We also want to express our deepest gratitude for his generous cash donation amounting to One Million Yen (1,000,000 JPY) which will be used for the purchase of learning materials and other improvements of our school for our students. Rest assured that we will strive hard in continuing and improving the academic mission of PATS.
