Most Influential Filipinos in the Gulf: Madame Yoko Ramos – Vingno – Trailblazer

Madame Yoko Ramos – Vingno

Wife of the Philippine Ambassador to the UAE

 

Madame Yoko had a thriving career in public service back home before she took on the challenging role of wife to the Philippine Ambassador to the UAE. As a diplomat’s spouse, she sees her position as that of a cultural representative, and a mother to the hundreds of thousands of OFW’s in her host country. She attests: “The role of a diplomat’s spouse should be quite simple to many – provide support to your husband, move with him to his various countries of assignment, and help him promote your country.  This is, however, easier said than done because most of the time, you have to give up your own career and shift your focus to something that you are not used to at all.”

 

Aiding her husband in carrying out diplomatic duties is a full-time job – one that she takes in great stride, as she continues to conduct various events and activities aimed at promoting Filipino culture and building strong connections with key leaders of other nationalities.  Madame Yoko expounds: ““I believe that the tolerance and understanding which developed from these interactions will, indirectly, help the Ambassador in his formal duties of forging closer ties and cooperation with the UAE and other countries as well.  The activities also contributed to developing more coherence and unity among members of the Filipino community (FilCom) in Abu Dhabi.”

  1. I Holding Valid Indian Passport No was Working as Import Manager for a company in Sharjah Airport Freezone for past 10 Years, I would like to bring to your notice that I had come on vacation to india and now my VISA got Expired on 31/8/2016. My office applied for New VISA, but the same got rejected for unknown reason. My PRO had visited immigration office to find out the reason for rejection but could not find the reason. They just told him due to security reason it is rejected. I donot have any criminal case or bank debts .
