MESSAGE OF THE 2010 NATIONAL PRESIDENT
Beloved JCI Members,
First, allow me to extend my sincere gratitude to the general membership of our NOM, the JCI Philippines, Inc. It is always my fervent wish to everybody for a fruitful year full of blessings. We are aware that you are the face of development, vibrant, engaged, intelligent and tolerant members for a dynamic JCI Philippines. You have not only done so much for the glory of your respective chapters but the whole JCI organization as well. Let us therefore be made permanent part of JCI’s development today and the future.
We know the fact that the supreme reality of our time is the indivisibility of our local organizations that is keeping us move forward together as one. Our organization will always walk the road together under the active leadership of your national officers. This year we have set to achieve something great and we shall begin with our chapters. To attain such goals we need to have a strong and united JCI Philippines which rests firmly on our energetic local organizations. Our blueprint for change will be our full commitment and support to JCI’s advocacies, trainings and programs. This year, we will make it our reality, our priority and the foundation of our plans to continue to be the leading network of young active citizens in this part of the world. Let us therefore make this vision be our greatest strength.
I then ask all our local organizations to lead and join me as we begin to chart a bold future guided by the theme, “2010 BLAST (Believing and Living up to JCI Activities, Systems and Trainings).
In closing, please enjoin me to congratulate everybody for the exemplary leadership and the high level of commitment you have demonstrated in JCI service to carry on and never forfeit your inalienable right to growth. Let us remember, “There are no such things as limits to your growth because there are no limits on your capacity for intelligence, imagination and wonder”. Let’s “Be Better” as we do things with a BLAST…
JCI Sen. MANUEL VAN A. TORREVILLAS
2010 National President
