His Excellency Ilan Fluss, the Ambassador of the State of Israel to the Philippines, made a courtesy visit to GMA Network, the country's leading media company on July 10. He was received by President and CEO Gilberto R. Duavit, Jr. at the GMA Network Center in Quezon City. 

Accompanying Ambassador Fluss were Press Officer Rose Chavez, and Development Cooperation Officer Richelle Maulion. 

Duavit was joined by GMA Network Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Felipe S. Yalong, Senior Vice President and Head of GMA Integrated News, Regional TV, and Synergy Oliver Victor B. Amoroso, and Vice President and Head of Corporate Affairs and Communications Angela Javier Cruz. 

The visit formed part of Ambassador Fluss’ farewell engagements as he concludes his four-year diplomatic posting in the Philippines. 

Throughout his tenure, Israel extended humanitarian assistance efforts in the Philippines, which included support for typhoon-stricken areas and aid during the pandemic. 

In his message, Duavit spoke of the relationship between the Philippines and Israel, and commended Ambassador Fluss on his role in being directly involved in enhancing the understanding between the two countries and furthering their partnerships.

In particular, he noted the ambassador’s participation in preparing relief goods for donation to the GMA Kapuso Foundation. “It’s not often that we come across ambassadors who physically participate in what our foundation does.”

Ambassador Fluss, meanwhile, expressed his gratitude. “Thank you very much for allowing me to join you. Thank you very much for being part of my journey.” 

Following the courtesy call, Ambassador Fluss had an interview with GMA Integrated News journalist Raffy Tima. He also visited the GMA Kapuso Foundation (GMAKF), the socio-civic arm of the Network. Israel, through its Agency for International Development Cooperation, MASHAV, donated hygiene kits and modular tents in support of GMAKF's Operation Bayanihan project and disaster relief efforts.
