With our coordinated efforts and joint commitment to good governance, integrity and stability, rural banks are certain to take a competitive and strategic place as effective channels for a truly inclusive financial system and catalysts for sustaining balanced growth and development in the countryside. Again, my congratulations to the distinguished ladies and gentlemen of our rural banking sector.
United under RBAP, may you continue to grow and develop as efficient empowering channels for enhancing economic activities and improving the quality of life in the countryside. Mabuhay ang ating mga rural banks! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas! Maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat. 4  BIS Review 63/2009
