From the PICC entrance proceeding to where I am now sitting, along the way, I was able to greet those nearby to exchange smiles and nods even from afar I was able to acknowledge and let you know through simple gestures that I truly appreciate each of you. I appreciate you individually, and collectively as part of this group that comprises the BSP family.
Team BSP. For several events now, I have, for health reasons, requested BSP Officers to deliver messages on my behalf. I have allowed others to speak for me and I have spoken through others. This is not an easy thing for me to do, as I am by heart, a speechwriter and am mindful of the power of the podium.
