In my previous message in Volume 3 of Gigaquit Online which came out last mid-December 2007, I mentioned the following which I may quote . . .
“Just like the Marines, GCC’s target of at least one major project a year cannot be achieved by sheer “grit” alone. We need support and assistance. The soldiers perform well in the field due to the numerous units that are involved behind the scenes. There are many who love our town as much as GCC-members do . . . perhaps even more. These are the ones we at GCC count on. We know they will rise up to the challenge in time. They can contribute through any of the 3 T’s . . . Time, Talent and/or Treasure.”
Examples that the above words are indeed true has come very swiftly. To be specific, may I mention the support of Mr. Samuel Senoren and Mr. Gabriel Erazo, to whom we at GCC are very grateful.
Mr. Samuel Senoren or “Mano Sam” sponsored the GCC Monthly Fellowship last January 25, 2008 at the Asian Institute of Management Conference Center in Makati City. He is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the GCC. Actually, this is not the first time that he shouldered the expenses of a GCC gathering. Anyway, through his generosity we had this chance of holding an important meeting this January 2008 in a very conducive setting. Among the major subjects tackled during this occassion were the review of the Gigaquit Online project (please see details under Message from the Website Team) and the Scholarship Project (articles can be found under this GOL Volume 4).
Rey Tupal, Eliezer Molina, Samuel Senoren, Steve Egay, Gabriel Erazo, Emil Canda
Mr. Gabriel “Gabby” Erazo on the other hand will be the first sponsor and foster parent of the GCC scholarship project. We are very happy that he accepted this noble undertaking which we hope will set an example to the others. We hope this will inspire the others to also lend a hand in order that more Gigaquitnon poor students can be given the chance to uplift their lives and that of their families. Mr. Erazo will be joining GCC also. He is the newest member this year 2008.
We salute these patriotic Gigaquitnons and the others who will rise up to the challenge of developing our municipality.
Mabuhay an mga Gigaquitnons!
Steven A. Egay
GCC President
