ACAPERA UPDATE

I thought March 2012 would end just like any other months but then March 31 was extraordinarily different. For the first time I met the Presidential Sisters-Madam Ballsy Aquino Cruz and Madam Viel Aquino Dee at Hotel Del Rio in Iloilo City.

This rare encounter with the Presidential sisters was courtesy of the Presidential friend-Ms. Sheela Tirador Maroma. The Aquino Sisters attended the 1st year Anniversary of the 1Meal Program in Iloilo City.

The ever supportive Sheela requested her Ate Ballsy to give me just few minutes of her time. I was given an opportunity to talk to Madam Ballsy requesting her assistance on the ACAPERA and she told me to send her a copy of the request sent by LBPEA to the Office of Sec. Abad.






1Meal Program in Iloilo City

The 1Meal Program is a replica of the program in South Africa for the poor African children brought to Iloilo City by Madam Nene Chan Sola-eldest sister of Jose Mari Chan and her son-Mikko Chan Sola. When Madam Nene and her son-Mikko went to South Africa they noticed that an extra coin is given on top of a restaurant bill. Curiously they asked what is it for then they were told that the extra coin would go to the education of poor African children.

Inspired by the idea of helping poor children in the Philippines, they introduced the 1Meal Program in Iloilo City. Various hotels and restaurants are partners in this program where customers are requested to give a minimum of P5 coin on top of rhe restaurant bill. The 1Meal Program focuses on education primarily in helping poor children to go to school and providing assistance in improving school facilitites. Madam Ballsy is the honorary chairperson of this 1Meal Program.

I encourage our fellow LandBankers in Iloilo City to support this program by sharing a piece of their lives through their extra coins after eating in restaurants to give chance for the poor children to have a better lives in the future through education. The P5 coin would go a long way in alleviating poverty.

Madam Sonia,

Thru you, it was such a nice pic to see how close Landbank is to the President's sisters, doing follow-up to whatever request LBPEA had sent to Sec. Abad, enthusiastically.

Thank you Madam

i am very much overwhelmed on how far you and madam shiela have gone to work for the welfare of landbankers. please accept my sincerest thank you for the gratitude we owe so much from you, madam sonia and madam shiela!

ATTA GIRL MADAM SONIA!!!! having a short minute talk with Madam Balsy purposely for the cause of "LANDBANKERS" on ACA/PERA is an awesome move...where are the other members of the middle and higher echelon in Landbank hierarchy? are they doing something for the ACA/PERA? I think they are busy on something...maybe they are very busy jockeying positions with the impending re-organization of the BANK...tsk tsk...kawawang R&F, sa ACA/PERA na lang at COLA ang pag-asa ...buti na lang may mga naiwan pang lahi ni "Gabriela Silang" na lumalaban para sa ranks...

Continue the EXCELLENT work Madam Sonia...I moved to confer you as the "LBPEA CZAR"....MABUHAY KA!!!!

good job mam sonia... pang president talaga... :-) hehehe...

Thanks for your effort Madam Sonia. God bless. Hope to hear more updates from you. We in Region IV really appreciate your good act.

Wow! IKAW NA! To the next level!

president na sonia! all the way. sakto ka dyan gerard123!

suportahan na lang natin, ang kaunaunahang babae na president ng LBPEA

mabuhay ka ma'am sonia, we are proud of you taga region VI yan.

I second the motion...Ms. Ladybird...Go Go Go...Mother Son!

Update Mother Son.... heard from a little birdie that someone named Bernardo Carpio Moises...is running for Board of Directors - Visayas?????? Is is true?...Who are you gonna be supporting then????????

Paging Bernardo Moises...are you really running for Board of Director Visayas????????Waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

It is really nice to be back refreshed after a relaxing vacation.

Im surprised to read posts openly expressing support for my presidency but for now I could only say THANK YOU.

Everything that I did for the ranks, I did it because of the word SHARING. I find happiness in sharing whatever little that I have my talent, time, and effort if only to make others happy and just give a little hope. So in the process of sharing, I have no idea that it would cause so much impact to earn me this recognition and support for me to run for a higher post. However, if you were on my shoes given the circumstances you would probably do what I did because it will not only benefit yourself but everybody so I dont claim credit for the things that happened because I am only a channel of God's blessings. Maraming salamat po!

I agree Buttercup ... Bernard go! go! go! for BOD Visayas we will support you all the way... dapat kasing tapang din ni ma'am sonia ... at ikaw yon Mr. Bernard.

I would like to inform you that Madam Ballsy called up Ms. Sheela asking for copy of our letter to Secretary Abad on ACAPERA.

I received copy of the letter just this morning from our LBPEA Sec Gen Weng Leones. I am now preparing the covering letter for Madam Ballsy attaching copy of the letter sent to Sec Abad. I will be sending the letter to her home in Legazpi Village tomorrow- April 11, 2012.

Yes ! that's madam sonia's power. may pagka tinker bell talaga. thank you.

wow!! galing mo mam.... sana mabigyan din tayo ng acapera...

WOW! what more can i say madam sonia?

Wow! Ang ganda talaga ng Easter season natin ngayon......hulog ka talaga ng langit Ms. Sonia.....

3 things:

1) good project (1meal project)

2) nice move madam Sonia

3) presidentiable beauty

Go for it.....For LBPEA President!!!!!!!!!

Dear Madam Sonia, your moment with Madam Ballsy and Madam Viel manifests great hope for us rank and files, . . . . I am glad for your big heart for us. . . I pray that this would be a success for all. . . .employees of Land Bank. . . . Thanks too to Madam Ballsy and Madam Viel for the time given to you . . . time given to us thru you. . . Happy weekend!

Survey lang po, ok ba sa inyo if si Ms. Sonia ang endorse natin for LBPEA President?

Capariz, I second the motion...two thumbs up!!!!

go go go... mam sonia for president...

i'm all the way for her capariz!

Ms. Sonia, meron na po ba reply from Ms. Balsy, or any feedback, ang letter you sent last April 11? Thank you.

Vilma_S:
With what happened very recently to Hacienda Luisita as decided by the Supreme Court, I am sure Madam Ballsy is really preoccupied being the eldest of the Aquino siblings.

But I already sent her copy of LBPEA's letter to Sec. Abad we just have to wait at her own pace.

I have an ongoing coordination with the 1Meal Program wherein she is the honorary chairman. This program is aimed at helping poor children to have better education. I requested our Regional Head in Region VI to place cans with 1Meal logo in our branches. In this manner, LandBankers and our clients would be able to share a portion of their blessings. In the same way, we are also expressing our appreciation to Madam Ballsy for the help she gave us during the IPP and for the support she has been giving us.

Magandang umaga po at maraming salamat sa iyong katanungan Mam Vilma_S!

Sonia, salamat sa reply.

Hon. Vice President Jojo Binay,

I am really thankful with your response to my previous appeal regarding the salary
adjustments for LBP employees especially the ranks.
Once again I am knocking at your kind heart to help us regarding two concerns:

1. The Additional Compensation Allowance / Personal Economic Relief Allowance
(ACA/PERA) of other government agencies is P2,000 per month since 2009 while ours
is still pegged at P1,000 monthly. We have sent our letter last to DBM asking for
clarifications whether we are entitled for the increase or not. Until now we have not
received any response yet.
2. Interim Salary Increase - We are now enjoying the interim increase on our salary
as approved by the President himself last year. However, come this July 2012 the last
tranche of the Salary Standardization Law III will be implemented and again we will be
left behind. I know that the Governance Commission for GOCC is now formulating the
rationalized compensation for all GOCCs and GFIs, I am just hoping that you could help
us for the speed study of the LBP's compensation package for us to be at par with other
govenment agencies.

Thank you very much.
More power and God bless.


Very truly yours,


Dandilo B. Daa
Asst. Treasurer, LBP Employees Association


25 Bayabas St., Comembo, Makati City 1217

last Monday I already recieved a mail from the Office of the Vice President. His Honorable President Jojo Binay thru USec Benjamin E. Martinez Jr. endorsed our plea for clarification about entitlement on ACA/PERA to the DBM copy furnished yours truly. I am hoping for the immediate response of the DBM to the matter.

I'll inform everyone immediately if there is any update.

thanks.

Nice move Sir Batman. Thanks you.

Please update us re: the above matters. Thank you sir.

ramiliski:

i'm still waiting for the DBM's reply to OVP, they will surely have me copy furnished. once i received it, i will immediately inform everybody. thanks.

so it is not true sir batman na may ibibigay this June 15? ang hearing merun daw po i give...

the rumor remains a rumor because we still have no confirmation kung totoo nga ito. we are still coordinating about the matter.

the rumor remains a rumor because we still have no confirmation kung totoo nga ito. we are still coordinating about the matter.

i regret to inform the body that MGT said that the rumor circulating about 51K is not true.

regardless, i am asking everyone to continue to do our best to serve landbank which is our bread and butter.

thank you.

Salamat po sir batman . . . . . :sleep:na ako. . .
