APRIL – JUNE 2022 VOL 1 FY 2021 - 2022
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Handog: Thanksgiving & Appreciation night marks the quarter under review. Once again, another page of PICPA’s achievements was proudly presented by our dear President Marydith; recognizing and thanking the people behind her tenure, from her inner circles in the National Office to the Chapter Officers in the field. As a prelude early on the day, the Chapter Presidents had a session with a top Philippines wellness coach on handling stress and positive attitude. The event is a trademark model in the private sector. Honoring the employees every year-end for their contribution to the company. It was a departure presentation model from previous events I have seen in PICPA. Here, the Executive Officers sang with their raw singing talents guided by a small singing group. It was hilarious but more heartwarming because it came straight from their hearts at no additional expense from the association’s coffers. The chapter got two (2) awards. The recognition as a PICPA Chapter that supports its Vision-Mission Statements and adherence to its core values and a special citation to the chapter president to its contribution to the E-journal of which my special thanks to the Assistant Secretary, VP Professional Devt. And the Secretariat for this project. Three significant events stand out. The election of officers was clearly a success, clean, honest, orderly and more digitally held election. Transforming the voting preference of the members to online voting. More empowered members desired to serve the chapter that the chapter candidates exceeded by 4 (more than the 15 slots for election). PICPA Comelec did a terrific job that the results of the election was posted in the association’s website, shortly after the election. I am happy to report that your cash donations did produce results. Two of our participants in the STaR regional quizbowl garnered an award. Let’s continue to mentor, inspire and motivate them in the same manner we motivated our children that we can at least hope for them as future PICPA leaders. The Lord’s blessings extends to the Sector Representative for Education who leads this project with a passing mark in the Pandemic BAR examination. To institutionalize our secondary support effort for this activity, the motivational participation incentive scheme was put in writing with a memorandum of support and pledge with the sponsor on doubling the provincial award if and when a participant garner a regional award.
