Believe me when I say that this is a role that I do not take for granted. However, I need your prayers and support, too. They say that it can be lonely at the top. From that vantage point, national issues and high-level problems may overshadow the needs and concerns of the BSP community.
Even when the going gets tough, my fervent wish is that I never lose sight of where I came from. Ako ay laking BSP. Ang aking husay at lakas ay galing sa BSP. I therefore owe it to all of you to stay connected and to continue serving the BSP community even as we all serve our country with skill, honor, integrity, and accountability.
