Speech of Ramonito Pernato, President - Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants
Posted on Wednesday, 19 October 2016
(RAMONITO PERNATO belongs to the Batch’70 of
NDTC Boys High School (Tacurong City, Sultan Kudarat, Philippines). His family
popularized the chicken barbecue in Tacurong way back in early days of the
1960s, and which became known as “Mauring’s Barbecue”. He literally worked his
way up the social ladder to be where he is now, the 2016-2017 NATIONAL
PRESIDENT of the PHILIPPINE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTS (PICPA). He
is among the “golden products” of Notre Dame that I am personally proud of.)
MESSAGE DELIVERED DURING
THE 71ST PICPA ANNUAL CONVENTION
IN DAVAO CITY
Time is running so fast, only to find out
that we are all gathered today in Davao City, the venue and the home of the
co-host, the PICPA Davao Chapter to celebrate our 71st PICPA Annual
National Convention. We have chosen Davao City as the venue over a place in
Sultan Kudarat Province, the home of the co-host, the PICPA Sultan Kudarat
Chapter because the City has adequate facilities, resources, and various tourist
destinations to offer around the Southern Mindanao Region.
The 71st Annual National
Convention, as always been said in any annual convention, is a time for us to
renew our acquaintances and friendship, share our concerns and issues, our joys
and sadness, and to work out on the challenges we are now facing in the volatile
and complex business and economic environment.
Despite some hitches as we are moving
forward to achieve our goals, this Annual National Convention is also an
occasion for all PICPANs as a family to establish or re-invigorate affected
relationship so that we can put aside our personal differences and move forward
to become more humane and professional.
Also, the 71st Annual National
Convention Committee has worked hard and came-out with technical sessions and
fellowships which will meet the needs of each PICPAN to “LEVEL UP” and go
beyond our comfort zones, and be ready to face the challenges of the times with
confidence and competitive spirit.
Daghang Salamat!
Mabuhay ang PICPA!
