Anyong Haseo from KES straight from Korea!

Anyong Haseyo from Korea!


As a young student I was introduced to the Korean culture for quite some time. Our school accepted foreign enrollees so we had Korean classmates as one of them. I even remember the first time we smelled Korean Kimchi  during our lunch period. Everyone in the canteen reacted to the smell. Ironic as it may seem, now as a grown man, I am so much in love with that Korean dish.  In fact, I am addicted to it. I can even finish ½ kilos of Korean Kimchi in two days, all by myself.  

When I introduced it to my family, they too, reacted the same way my fellow students reacted before. But like me, my mom and my dad became addicted to it.

Back in high school, as part of our curriculum, selected students were given the chance to visit Korea to experience and learn a different culture by becoming a foreign exchange student for a few days. As part of the preparation, we were taught basic Korean language and some Korean songs to sing at the church.


When we got there aside from traveling, we were also introduced foster parents/family. Us students were grouped into two and was sent to live with our Korean families for 3 days. It was fun. They were very kind and generous. Both my sister’s and my foster family even took us shopping for a watch as a gift (we bumped into each other at the mall). I remember, we even went to Lotte world.  I will never forget that wonderful experience. This is the reason why I like Koreans....and their food! It reminds me of the time when we visited their country. 

When it was time to leave, I wished that I could stay longer...

Well, somehow my wish became true.  As I grew up, I’ve noticed how a lot of Koreans preferred to settle and study here in the Philippines. Little by little, we become influenced by their wonderful culture. There are a lot of Korean restaurants everywhere and also their grocery stores where we can find authentic Korean ingredients. And who can forget the award winning Korean soap operas like Jewel in the Palace and Queen Seon Dok? A lot of Filipinos fell in love with it!

Because of them, there were even more jobs to be given to Filipinos, such as English teachers  and tutors, etc.

That is why, I am proud to introduce:


Korea Electronics Show (KES) 2011


They are the leading electronics company in Korea ranking 4th in the world electronic production. For 52 years, they have proven their worth and value.  And as part of that, Soul KES will be having their 42nd show to showcase their products and services.

In the year 2010, KES featured (in a 53,542 SQM showroom) their worldwide best selling products such as:  cell phones, semi-conductors, information technology used for fashion, medicine, construction and many more. Over a thousand participants and potential buyers  from different countries like Russia, China, and India joined in the show. Over 750 companies also participated such as: Samsung electronics, Hynix, LG Electronics, etc. During that event, they also showcased other shows like World 3D Expo and APP World Expo.

KES has mainly focused on two products, its Display and Semi-conductors. They also offer buyers a hassle free, easy access to the supply chain.

This year’s exhibition with the theme “Be Smart!”, it is estimated that again, over a thousand companies from 30 different countries will participate in this grand exhibit. Aside from last year’s products, they will also present different kinds of digital kits, a way of digitizing hospitals, wearable computer and Green Information technology.

They will also showcase a new look for the future technology. Something to inspire us with and that is worthy of investing.
