Doing What The Japanese Workers Do

The interns of Uno Overseas are not only being trained how to speak Nihonggo well for better communication but also how to start their day at work.

Usually, the Japanese start their day with a physical exercise (Taisou) before proceeding to work.

We love to see how our Interns adapt to the ways and culture of Japan.

Congratulations Interns. Job well done.

Prefab shelters made in Cavite house Japan evacuees

IWAKI, Fukushima Prefecture —Filipinos may take comfort in the thought that aside from the material and financial aid they had sent to Japan, prefabricated units built in the Philippines are now housing thousands of families displaced by the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disasters that hit the country earlier this year.

Eight months after 3/11 (March 11), some 52,000 families are staying in government prefab houses put up in the three worst affected prefectures—Fukushima, Miyagi and Iwate—and four other prefectures. All evacuation centers have been closed.

Many of the prefab shelters were made by Filipinos at the sprawling manufacturing facility owned by Ichijo Koumuten Co. at the Cavite export processing zone.
