At the meeting, Mr. Deiters gave everyone a signed copy of his book, “ Rusland aangekleed Rusland uitgekleed (30 jaar werken in Rusland voor Beghaus-groep) “
He gave a parting words , , “ ….. thanks to each and everyone and happy to see you all, successful and well.”
 
The meeting with the group came about purely by chance. It was sometime in May 2010 when Mr. Deiters , while surfing the internet,  came across Munting Nayon website and its column of BERGHAUS GIRLS.
 
On May 18, 2010, he sent an email message to MN’s editor Eddie Flores stating,
“ ….  I am however often in Holland and would like to arrange a meeting with you and the people behind this wonderfull idea of keeping the Berghaus spirit alive….”
The email message was forwarded to Curie Arts-Sawit, a former Berghaus employee now residing in the Netherlands.
 
In 1972, Mr Deiters  was appointed by his father Ben Deiters as Director of Berghaus Company  until it was sold to the British group Coats Vyella in 1993. He stayed  with the group as president until 1999.
 
At present, Mr. Deiters  is still active in the boards of several garment and textile companies in the Netherlands ,USA and Switzerland.

    Berghaus N.V. opened a world of opportunities for all the ladies that worked with the company from 1966 to 1976.

    From there almost all of these workers pursued other venues in different parts of the world and shared their successes with families in the Philippines by (a)constant financial support, (b) investing in (developing) properties in the country, and (c) bringing over (sponsoring) other family members from the Philippines to the country where they've chosen to live their life after Berghaus.

    Thank you soooooo much Berghaus for opening many doors for us and helping us shape our future = what we have become today.

    Cynthis Galang, Olive Cabanela and Mirian Catalan have organized a grand reunion for all 11 groups of previous Berghaus workers to come together; on Aug. 20 and 21, 2011 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Please e-mail Cynthia at - [email protected] (or [email protected]) and we will gladly send you the details. If you would like to have your pictures included for the Souvenir Program, please e-mail Olive at [email protected] . We love to see you all there.
