Well …, if the practitioners in our trust and fund management industry are celebrating, then we at the Bangko Sentral are here to congratulate you. TOAP has been … and continues to be… a dependable partner of the Bangko Sentral in promoting the development of our financial system…and in upgrading the quality and variety of financial services to the public.
This is the reason why I readily accepted your invitation for me to join you in your first general membership meeting this year. In particular, I appreciate the fact that our trust practitioners specifically requested that I discuss banking reforms as they relate to the trust industry.
