Two Gentlemen of the PPC-Board in Region 6






Two gentlemen of the PPC Board, Director Alfredo G. Gabot and Director Edgardo V. Espinosa, and their staff paid PPC-Region 6 a visit on March 11, 2009 basically to see how things are in the Region.

Well, they weren’t disappointed for sure. Despite the many challenges, the economic crisis among them, the gentlemen are pleased to see for themselves that PPC-6 is actually doing fairly well under the supervision of RD Lilia O. Barcelon. Amidst the shortage in manpower and the fact that a lot of the Region’s officials are holding positions in acting capacity, PPC-6 is able to reduce the impact of the crisis and to cope with the day to day challenges.

The visit gave the Directors a chance to meet the staff and employees of the PPC-6 to inform them of some updates. In particular, Dir. Gabot, being also the Administrator of the Provident Fund Office, said that PFO will begin accepting new members this month. Even casual employees can be qualified to apply for membership with PFO. Accordingly, the Office is also working some things out to provide more benefits to its members.

The visit also gave PPC-6 employees the opportunity to air their concerns to the two members of the Board of Directors who promised to take the matters up in their forthcoming Board Meeting.

The group took time to go to several post offices in the beautiful island of Guimaras as well as some post offices in the City of Iloilo. The following day, March 12, 2009, they went to the district of Negros Occidental to attend the blessing of Brgy. 20 Post Office, the construction of which was sponsored by the City Government of Bacolod City thru the efforts of its dynamic Mayor, Hon. Evelio “Bing” R. Leonardia.
