After that, we were divided into 5 committees. Each committee discussed the new bills and subjected them to debate using Parliamentary Rules and Procedures. I represented Negros Occidental,” Castandiello said.
In Japan, she worked with other delegates to promote understanding and further discourse on mutual benefits for Japan, ASEAN countries, Timor-Leste, and India.
