Background and Purpose of Joint Venture

In November 2016, Magsaysay People Resources Corporation and Human Academy Co., Ltd., a Human Holdings Co., Ltd. subsidiary, entered into a partnership in the Philippines to deliver high-level Japanese education to Filipinos planning to work in Japan. The establishment of the new company will pave the way for further future business growth.

Besides expanding Japanese-language education in the Philippines, the new company will work to implement custom programs for Japanese-language training, focusing on specific industries. As a result, students at the Magsaysay Human Language Institute will acquire necessary communication skills for each relevant industry in Japan.

As the Japanese population further decreases, this enterprise will be well positioned to contribute to solving this serious issue. As such, the Human Group plans to expand this business while also developing other language education businesses in the Philippines, such as English.
