But it is not for the faint of heart: to achieve anything excellent for the nation requires a sustained commitment to serve beyond one’s self, and the grit to weather failure and setbacks along the way. Excellence takes time. It is the outcome of years upon years of working without waning: because there is no effort achieved without error, as much as there are no lessons learnt without losses. Excellence demands fullness of character. It requires the integrity of heart, the will of mind, and the skillfulness of hands to work in tandem in serving the nation. All three values must be exercised, synchronously, with no room for compromise or complacency. Above all, excellence for the nation is a matter of collaboration. It is not the toil of one person, rather the responsibility of a collective: marching shoulder-to-shoulder in mutual aid and respect towards the common good. The Metrobank Foundation Outstanding Filipinos have consistently raised the bar of excellence in their fields. Their unsung narratives of triumph and resilience are our nation’s hope and inspiration—reminding us that all our actions, whether great or small, will yield lasting transformation as long as it is done for the right reasons. This is why we at the Metrobank Foundation continuously strive to amplify the reach of their vision. We provide our Outstanding Filipinos with a platform for their voices to be heard across the nation and open avenues for cooperation between like-minded individuals. We trust that with each person they inspire to act, we press closer and closer towards the attainment of our common goals for the nation. The FLAME represents our Outstanding Filipinos’ tireless zeal to serve without counting the cost. It is excellence refined through seasons and struggles, shining brightly to touch hearts and transform minds. The FLAME is an inspiration and a challenge to become beacons of light for a better nation. MALACAÑAN PALACE MANILA y warmest greetings to the recipients of the 2018 Metrobank Foundation Outstanding Filipinos Award. M Nation-building requires each of us to uphold patriotism, integrity and social responsibility as we contribute to our communities in our own little ways. I am thus delighted to know that the recipients of this prestigious award have embodied these values throughout their careers, thereby serving as good examples for our fellow Filipinos. May this milestone inspire the awardees to further engage the public in open dialogues so that they may share their best practices in their respective fields. I trust that they will continue to be agents of hope as they demonstrate their brand of service and help propel the Philippines to greater heights. You are truly living heroes who walk among us, blazing our path to real and lasting change. May you never cease to instigate excellence and dedication in your endeavors as we forge a brighter and better future for all. Congratulations and I wish you the best in your future undertakings. RODRIGO ROA DUTERTE MANILA August 2018 THE PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES Metrobank Foundation Outstanding Filipinos 1 ongratulations to all the awardees of the 2018 Metrobank Foundation Outstanding Filipinos! C Filipinos are known to be a resilient race. We thrive amidst challenges with dignity and confidence and we continue with our lives bearing a positive attitude in almost all situations. There are some of us, however, that are cut among the rest—those who choose true service, patriotism, dedication, and courage in favor of others. They are our everyday heroes who seek to achieve long-lasting impacts, whether big or small, in the line of duty. They are outstanding Filipinos who are our partners in nation building. Consistent with Metrobank Foundation roadmap—Excel. Engage. Empower. – our Office commends and appreciates the initiative of recognizing our fellow kababayans who have made concrete contributions to the onward development of our communities. Indeed, their exemplary efforts and commitment towards service are commendable. Let this day be a constant reminder that there is always more to do for our fellow Filipinos, and that as long as we work together, we will be able to bring sustainable development and inclusive growth to our shores. Mabuhay kayong lahat! LENI ROBREDO Vice President Republic of the Philippines 2 Beyond Excellence o the 2018 Metrobank Foundation Outstanding Filipinos: T My sincerest greetings to the awardees for the 2018 Metrobank Foundation Outstanding Filipinos! Congratulations! As this year’s Chairperson of the Final Board of Judges, it has been an honor to be part of recognizing exemplary Filipinos who have left a positive impact on their communities and their respective professions, hence the country. Moreover, the nominees’ stories of academic excellence, ingenuity, perseverance, bravery, and heroism in the face of challenges have inspired me – and will certainly inspire many others – to keep pushing to make this nation great. In these trying times, shining role models are direly needed to push others to try, even in their own little ways, to contribute to their communities. That being said, allow me to commend all those who made this year’s awards possible – from the Metrobank Group led by Chairman Dr. George S.K. Ty and Foundation President Aniceto Sobrepeña, to the Final Board of Judges, and to the numerous participants and nominees who have extended their invaluable time, effort and expertise. It is my hope that you will keep your fervor of bringing to light our country’s notable professionals and public servants. Rest assured that, as your Senator, I will continue to push for measures and programs that will give every Filipino around the world a chance to succeed. Again, I congratulate this year’s awardees and I wish you continued success in the years ahead. Mabuhay kayong lahat! Maraming salamat po! JUAN EDGARDO ”SONNY” M. ANGARA Senator Republic of the Philippines Chairperson, Final Board of Judges 2018 Metrobank Foundation Outstanding Filipinos Metrobank Foundation Outstanding Filipinos 3 or 33 years, the Metrobank Foundation has continuously searched for Outstanding Filipinos from the academe, the military, and the police sector, in consonance with its master plan of excellence, engagement, and empowerment. F In doing so, the Metrobank Foundation succeeds in encouraging, creating, and nurturing a habit of excellence among Filipinos, especially those who have dedicated themselves to public service, to the end that excellence becomes the rule, rather than the exception. It is in this celebratory spirit that we extend special recognition to the rightful recipients of the 2018 Metrobank Foundation Outstanding Filipinos Award. The accomplishments of the awardees are all relevant, timely and socially applicable. To the 10 Metrobank Foundation Outstanding Filipinos, you all merit the success you reap today. Your dedication and discipline, coupled with enthusiasm and devotion, has led you to this moment. Your hardwork is indeed the progenitor of your success. Let me end with a challenge. Now that you have achieved your first humble step at greatness, do not be complacent and forget to take the next. Complacency will derail what you have yet to accomplish. Disabuse yourselves from thinking that you have come full circle, because there is always more to be done and by tomorrow, tonight’s accomplishment would have been a thing of the past. I therefore challenge our Outstanding Filipinos to not let this night be the culmination of your work, but the beginning of better, bigger, and brighter accomplishments to come. Congratulations and may God’s wisdom be your constant companion in your journey beyond excellence. NOEL G. TIJAM Associate Justice Supreme Court of the Philippines Co-Chairperson, Final Board of Judges 2018 Metrobank Foundation Outstanding Filipinos 4 Beyond Excellence ur warmest congratulations to the 2018 Metrobank Foundation Outstanding Filipinos! O You are indeed shining examples of the inimitable Filipino character: courageous, resourceful, and ever sacrificing. This year’s awardees show that heroism need not always be bold or brazen. Heroism presents itself best in the everyday—in the silent acts of clocking in more work hours to finish a task, reaching out to people in the grassroots, and laboring through worthy causes heedless of reward or acknowledgment. They breathe life to the unrelenting commitment of the Metrobank Group: to always keep our people in good hands, through the virtues of honesty, integrity, and a great sense of responsibility and heart for the community. In the lives of these 10 exemplars are inspiring lessons for those of us who share in the mission to serve fellow Filipinos at all costs. Thank you to the awardees for going beyond excellence in whichever task, mundane or daunting. For all those years in service, for every sacrifice and innovation made, this singular honor is something you truly deserve. We look forward to witnessing higher levels of excellence and stronger chains of collaboration that will emerge from this day onward. DR. GEORGE S.K. TY ARTHUR V.

Karlo Alexei Nograles (1st District, and programs, and major accomplishments of the Davao City), listened to the presentations on the proposed FY 2019 following government offices: budget, plans and programs, and major accomplishments of the CSC, CHR, the Judiciary, and DOST. Civil Service Commission (CSC) Committee Vice Chair, Rep. Raul del Mar (1st District, Cebu City), sat as the presiding officer during the CSC’s budget briefing. CSC Chair Alicia dela Rosa-Bala said that under the FY 2019 National Expenditure Program (NEP), the CSC is set to receive a budget of P1.65 billion, which is 4.97% higher than its current budget of P1.57 billion. By expense class, CSC’s 2019 proposed budget will be distributed as follows: personnel services (PS), P1.26 billion; maintenance and other operating expenses (MOOE), P317.27 million; capital outlay (CO), P78.05 million; and financial expenses (Finex), P9,000. Several Members of the Committee support the call of the CSC to restore its FY 2019 budget to its original proposal of P2.24 billion. Bala explained that the slashed budget of the CSC will affect the following programs: creation of new positions in the CSC field offices; upgrading of CSC field offices; and reactivation of the CSC Academy. In response to the query of Reps. Carlos Isagani Zarate (Party-List, BAYAN MUNA) and Mark Aeron Sambar (Party-List, PBA), Bala clarified that Joint Circular No.1 series of 2017 issued by the CSC, Commission on Audit (COA) and Department of Budget and Management (DBM), pertaining to the rules and regulations governing contract of service (CS) and job order (JO) workers in the government, does not prevent government agencies from engaging the services of CS and JO workers after December 31, 2018.
