We also saw this in the way BAIPHIL escalated its increasingly popular financial education program for teachers and parents and for other marginalized sector groups. Congratulations! This time, with BAIPHIL President Liza Ortiz at the helm (from July 2016 to June 2017), your theme is “Leveraging Capabilities and Synergies for Banking Excellence.” Indeed, this is the call of the times.
The dramatic changes we have been seeing in the financial system are unparalleled. We are witnessing a sea change via global reforms, regional initiatives and domestic developments. The market’s underlying architecture is being re-shaped and this has also changed what we expect of bankers as professionals. Global best practices continue to evolve and the bar set to ever higher standards.
