Inanaroc ya kabaleyan – Good Afternoon
– I ‘d like to introduce myself to you who do not know me yet and let me re-introduce myself to those who already know me.
My name is Mellie Soriano from Bayambang / Lingayen, Pangasinan and I am the current Chairman Of The board of the Pangasinan Brotherhood – US. Inc.
I have been a member and have held various positions and has serve several past presidents since Kuya Ernie Reyes term – to the present
That being said – I have never seen such very dedicated officers, chairman of the different committees and even members of the current leadership of our very conscientious, dedicated, hardworking, very aided and not to mention very generous – President Eddie Ferrer
I am sure that each and everyone of us noticed a lot of changes, improvements and betterments with the PB-US. Inc., now we have our website – thanks to Mr. Julius Sinlao. ASlso, thanks Mrs. Lina Cabal, for the first time – we have our Quick Book.
And to the chairman of the different committees – namely Mr. Dom Dela Cruz, Mr. Nanding Soriano, Mr. Tony Barlongo, Josie Braganza, Bart Garcia, Lourdes Goodall, Dan Nino, Mel Oxciano, Bong Soriano, DJ E-man and Mr. Estrada – kudos to all of you.
Going forward – as your Chairman of the Board – I have been in contact with President Ferrer and his Finance chairman – Nanding Soriano as to the result of our first big event – our June 9, 2012 Induction and Gala Night. It was an up roaring success, Of course – nothing is perfect. There positive and negative feedback. However – most of the feedback are positive. No event will be successful if it were not for the team effort of all the officers and various committee’s headed by Mrs. Nieves Coquia and Mrs. Phenee Ferrer
And have you noticed the stunning decoration that night? Gorgeous .. ha? Thank to Mr. and Mrs Roger Cabal and let not forget the golden and stunning ladies of the PB-US who without any hesitation have danced the New York, New York with Mrs. Cecil Ranches as the choreographers. And lakas ng apog naming – hindi ba? Thanks also to Jane Coquia to lead us all singing the national anthem of Pangasinan
How about those guys dancers from San Nicolas – WOW !! To Josie Braganza who provided the beautiful corsage and botanies – thank you. Congratulation and thank you to all who participated in one way or another during our Gala night.
Since I was elected as the Chairman of The Board I have had several meetings with the board members. The Board of Directors had approved some resolutions and addendums to our constitution and by-laws to be incorporated in order to be compatible with our mission statement.
One very important resolution that was approved by the board is FUND RAISING – This is the key to be successful as being a 501c(3) organization.
Your Feedback are very much appreciated
Of course – all of the approve resolutions and addendum will be presented to the general membership.
I am going to sit down with the President and his staff to set aside a general membership meeting which will include the presentation of all the board resolution and
addendum.
Meantime – the President and his staff are continuously studying strategic planning and implementation on how to raise more funding for our scholarship program and other activities.
All officers, members, committee chair, Town council of president and their members are encourage to help our mission a success
We are still on our early stages as being 501C(3) organization ans such it needs nurturing and should provide strong foundation – so that future leaders or the new generation can follow & preserve the fruits of our hardwork and therefore a more successful PB-US.Inc.
Again – ask not what PB-US can do for you but rather what you can do for PB-US
Thank You and God Bless
