Dear Friends, Ka-ibigan in Canada, in the U.S.A. and around the World,

My name is Forte Gerardo, a senior, self-employed immigrant entrepreneur born Filipino and proud Canadian citizen living in Aurora, Ontario doing small business international trading for more than 30 years.

I wish to share with you my delight and pride in being named as a finalist in the Canadian Immigrant magazine contest to select the Top 25 Canadian Immigrants of 2010. Click here http://www.canadianimmigrant.ca/top25 for details of this contest and how to vote on-line.

Also, this is a “people’s choice award”; you may vote wherever in Canada and in the world you now live.

In the October 2009 issue, Canadian Immigrant told my story in http://www.canadianimmigrant.ca/immigrantstories/career/article/5327 that one with determination and faith can create a fulfilling job of productive global trading in Canada even in difficult conditions.

Please also visit http://www.filinter.net for reviews on the usefulness of my guidebook "Ka-intindi'han (Mutual Understanding) Canadians' Practical Guide Dealing with Today's Global Filipinos in Business, @ Work, @ Home & in the Communities.” Reply to this e-mail and I will gladly send a free e-book excerpt in English for your reading.

I would be truly grateful for your voting for me as one of the Top 25 Canadian Immigrants, “with glowing hearts!”

Yours sincerely and Mabuhay,

Forte Gerardo
