I was sitting at the vacant chair
After nearly 3 months of delay, the Record of Discussion for the JICA-BIR Technical Cooperation on Human Resource Development was finally signed last May 28 at the Office of the Commissioner, BIR - National Office Bldg. Project duration is from 4Q of 2008 to 4thQ of 2010 and will cover development of training materials and nationwide training on Advance Audit Techniques and Public Relations Courses for Revenue Officers assigned at the bureau's Large Taxpayers Service (source of 69% of the country's total revenue collection) and Taxpayer Service.
There were no programme invitations, speeches or catered lunch - unlike the usual signing ceremonies. I even forgot to bring my digital camera. Good thing I was able to borrow one from a co-worker.
