Why every Filipino must meet new Australian Ambassador Hae Kyong Yu

When Australian Ambassador to the Philippines Hae Kyong Yu entered the newly opened Panco Café, almost every head turned to her direction. With a charming presence, great posture, and style, plus a sincere tone when she greeted the owner and her staff, the ambassador easily commanded the room without intimidating anyone. It was her second time at the café, which serves Melbourne coffee and Filipino-Australian fusion dishes.

Following her years in university where she extensively studied commerce, economics, and taxation, Yu graduated during a minor recession. She was lucky enough, however, to land a job at the tax office where she spent 11 years. The slight detour also led her to work for the treasury, then the prime minister’s office. In 2010, she was seconded to the Korean government to assist with the G20 presidency. She was awarded a Public Service Medal for her work.

The two countries have one of the biggest Enhanced Defense Cooperation programs. Out of all Southeast Asian nations, Australia holds joint military exercises with the Philippines the most, from improving disaster risk reduction plans down to practical military capabilities. Just recently, during an exercise with their Australian counterparts, the Philippine Navy successfully refueled a ship at sea instead of going back to shore for it. Thirty thousand liters of fuel, transferred in five minutes.

Another example is the owner of Panco Cafe, Shanel Tan, who trained in Melbourne’s Market Lane café to learn the ropes of running a successful coffee business. “Without those links, this cafe wouldn’t exist. This kind of creativity and innovation doesn’t happen in some high-tech science lab,” says Yu. “Innovation happens all around us and that’s what makes the economy stronger and grow.”
