Dimond said that Friends Philippines is a group of about 200 members composed mostly of British officials who were assigned in the country for some time including children of Filipinos who want to connect themselves to their roots.
The organization initiated various programs and projects to highlight the best of Philippines.
Friends Philippines, led by Dimond and Afuang brought to Bohol recently 36 British tour operators and tourists to promote the country to more tourists from UK and Europe.
Chatto considered it a welcome development as tourism creates jobs and livelihood for the people. And, Europe is a high-end market.
