It almost seems like that at the blink of an eye the term of PBUSA president Eddie Ferrer has ended. His term was incredibly productive and monumental. I’m excited about the incoming president, Jun Caringal, because I have a feeling that with his committment, discipline and the fondness for PBUSA we will also see a lot of great things from his leadership.

I recently elevated my involvement with PBUSA. Along with Neil Estrada, one of the new board members, I am looking forward to being a big part in helping to expand the involvement of PBUSANextGen.

The PBUSA Foundation will only thrive if it can somehow involve the
NextGen group(1645 years old), raise the awareness of fundraising and reaching out to other Pangasinan related organization to collaborate in small activities. Activities that will create a “connection” between each group.

I am excited because most of this can be done with social media. As you all probably already know, social media CAN BE an educational, unifying, informative and creative tool to form a “connection”. A connection that can help “keep in touch” with a loved one in another state or counry, network for finding a job, organize a charitable activity helping Filipinos or support a Filipino business or an up and coming Filipino artist and so on. All of this with that one common denominator which is Pangasinanfull
of tradition, culture and camaraderie.

Stay tuned everyone. We might end up surprising a lot of people. Click this link and see what I am talking about. This is where it all begins. www.pbusa1.com. What are you waiting for? As they say “there is no better time than the present”. Visit www.pbusa1.com.
