ladies and gentlemen, good evening.
It is an
absolute honour and privilege to stand before you tonight, on this graceful
occasion as the incoming President of
PLCAA. With the opportunities and
challenges that come with my acceptance, I firmly believe that this journey
will be a smooth one with team’s efforts
and support.
Philippine
Language Cultural Association Of Australia, is an association committed to
inspire and motivate Australian-Filipinos to preserve our language, culture, values
and tradition within the context of a multicultural society. With everyone’s initiative and active
participation, we will be able to fully realise our mission and vision and
successfully achieve our objectives Australia-wide.
Let me take
this chance to acknowledge the adorable
initiative that were undertaken by the past leaders, Dra. Alexis Leones, Mr.
Danilo Rosales and Mrs. Evelyn Esguerra.
They are an inspiration, a challenge and
an avenue to continue doing these great works that they began.
With their guidance, I promise to give my
very best to deserve your expectation and to make you proud. I would like to extend my gratitude to the
team for believing in me.
I would like
also to take a moment to thank my family, they are my inspiration. By the end
of the year, it is my dream and prayer, to have transformed these
possibilities and opportunities with
your help into more stories of accomplishment and success for PLCAA.
Thank you
for the privilege to serve and represent PLCAA.
God bless us all.
Aida Basto
2017 PLCAA President
