"Let's Go Green!" -- that was the theme and the message heralded at this year's Mabuhay Germany event held from October 9-11 at the upscale Bonifacio High Street in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City. Responding to the call of the times, Mabuhay Germany on its second year, proved its relevance by giving special focus to the various corporate measures and contributions being done by German companies and organizations toward protecting the environment.
