BANKERS INSTITUTE OF THE PHILIPPINES (BAIPHIL)
PRESIDENT's MESSAGE - BAIPHIL DIRECTORY
Lydia C. King
President, BAIPhil
There is no goal too high or a challenge too great for those committed to a cause. We at BAIPhil know this too well. As an organization committed to the strengthening the banking profession, we have always kept true to our ideals. In good times and in bad, we have always reached our goals. In the past year, not even a global financial crisis stopped us from meeting our objectives. In fact, as the world realized the importance of governance, BAIPhil became even more relevant and its work became even more valuable, especially in the Philippines, where financial markets are less sophisticated and developed.
In keeping with its mandate to provide continuing education to Filipino bankers, BAIPhil conducted more training sessions to its institutional members. Through the BAIPhil Training Institute (BTI), we came closer to our dream to establish a broad-based center of learning for those in the practice of banking. Our training sessions focused on good corporate governance, as well as new developments that had a significant impact on our day to day tasks as bankers. At the same time, we continued with our website to keep our members abreast on issues of consequence. We also continued to share research and information with the Bangko Sentral, while our legal and tax committee provided timely alerts on proposed and pending legislation and security issues that could affect banking and finance.
For us at BAIPhil, there are no excuses not to fulfill our mandate. In fact, we managed to surpass expectations when we broke previous records at our 25th National Convention. In so doing, we were able to find ways to propagate and ensure the sustainability of our training and outreach programs. At the same time, we were also able to re-establish our bonds with each other, especially in the fellowship nights that we had.
