Brods,

 

Majority of the members of the UPBSFI BOD agreed to forego the election and the main reason for the decision was that only one was nominated as candidate of the President of UPBSFI and the BOD's. Since there was only one nominee, the candidate may have only one vote to win. On behalf of the ECom, I congratulate the members of the Board for their participation, cooperation and willingness to exercise basic democratic principles.

 

For your information, Brod Anggie Angliongto cast the first official vote for Brod Tatang Vergara. Listed below are the members of the BOD that voted or indicated their support for Brod Willie "Tatang" Vergara as President of UPBSFI and the BOD's:

You have received a lot of accolodes from all four corners of the world for leading this successful democratic exercise.
 
CONGRATULATIONS to the 15 Southern California and Northern California Brothers who met in PISMO Beach, California on January 27, 2001 and finalized the mission, vision and manifesto of UPBSFI, Inc. (then called UP Beta Sigma USA). The "movement" that you have started 8 years ago is as strong as ever.
 
CONGRATULATIONS to all current members of UPBSFI, Inc. for being part of a noble movement. With more and more of you volunteering in projects, there's no way we could ever fail. The UP Betan spirit lives!
 
MY HIGHEST RESPECTS go to those who declined nominations yet have expressed their desire to work in the background and in order to give way to new blood. Yes, your valuable services will continue to be tapped, and I am referring to the following: Brandy Ancheta, Bong Beredo, Johnny Regadio, Pogs Gaspay, Ago Romero, Judz Rey and my "manongs" Cosme Santiago, Sluggo Rigor and Don Ganchorre. Manolo Banzon in his acceptance speech as NorCal also expressed to pursue our common vision and mission.
 
We will be undertaking more difficult and extremely important programs and projects very soon. In keeping with our practice of transparent and service-oriented governance, we will be submitting to everybody within a month our Work Program for the next two years so that each one may have to chance contribute to our success.
 
As ever your servant,
 
Willie "Tatang" Vergara, 8-25-2009
