UE ACCOUNTING HONORS ALUMNI CLUB GOLF INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT, WACK WACK GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB 28 SEPTEMBER 2004, 7:00 PM

CHAIRMAN PANFILO DOMINGO, ACTING PRESIDENT BALTAZAR ENDRIGA, CORE GROUP CHAIRMAN ELREY RAMOS, UE BA ALUMNI PRESIDENT EUGENE MATEO, FELLOW UE GRADUATES, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, GOOD EVENING.

I AM HONORED AND PROUD TO BE IN YOUR COMPANY TONIGHT AS A FELLOW UE ALUMNUS. IN THIS CROWD I SEE MANY FACES WHOSE ILLUSTRIOUS CAREERS HAVE MADE INDELIBLE MARKS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE FIELDS. TODAY THERE IS HARDLY ANY FIELD OF DISCIPLINE, BE IT IN GOVERNMENT, BANKING AND FINANCE, CULTURE AND THE ARTS, LAW AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND EVEN ENTERTAINMENT, WITHOUT A UE ALUMNUS MAKING A DIFFERENCE AT ITS HELM. THEY KEEP ALIVE THE UE PLEDGE OF EXCELLENCE, ACHIEVEMENT AND SERVICE WHICH THIS INSTITUTION HAS UPHELD THROUGH THE YEARS.

THUS WE ARE REMINDED WHY WE ARE HERE TODAY. IT IS INDEED COMMENDABLE THAT THE ALUMNI HAVE JOINED HANDS TO TAKE TIME OUT AND ROLL UP THEIR SLEEVES FOR A ROUND OF GOLF TO RALLY SUPPORT TO UPHOLD THIS PLEDGE. TODAY WE ARE NOT ONLY HAVING FUN AND BUILDING camaraderie ON THE GOLF COURSE with fellow ALUMNI, WE ARE ALSO HERE TO raise funds for a worthy cause. PROCEEDS OF THIS EVENT SHALL HELP SUSTAIN THE NEEDS OF A BURGEONING STUDENT POPULATION AS THEY TREAD INTO THIS NEW MILLENNIUM.

PARTICULARLY, WE SHALL BE ABLE TO SUPPORT AND SUSTAIN THE NEW PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES LAUNCHED BY THE NEW SET OF OFFICERS. PROGRAMS SUCH AS THE ACCOUNTING HONORS PROGRAM HELP SPONSOR DESERVING BUT FINANCIALLY STRAPPED STUDENTS, WHILE ACTIVITIES SUCH AS THE “ACCOUNTING LECTURE SERIES” ON THE OTHER HAND, IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF PROFESSORS AND STUDENTS IN THE UNIVERSITY.

I BELIEVE THAT THESE PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES SHALL SUCCEED IN ITS VISION OF PRODUCING TOP ACCOUNTING GRADUATES WHO SHALL ATTAIN THE HIGHEST HONORS IN THE CPA BOARD EXAMINATIONS. ULTIMATELY, THE UE SHALL RECLAIM THE PREMIER POST AS A BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTING COLLEGE.

I AM ONE WITH YOU IN THIS VISION AND TAKE PRIDE IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT OUR DESIRE TO IMPROVE THE UNIVERSITY’S QUALITY OF EDUCATION KEEPS US INSPIRED IN CHAMPIONING THESE EVENTS. AS A SAYING GOES, WHAT WE TAKE FROM SOCIETY, GIVE BACK TO SOCIETY. THIS TOURNAMENT WILL CERTAINLY HELP US IN REALIZING THIS VISION FOR UE.

SO WITH THAT I THANK ALL THOSE WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THIS GOLF TOURNAMENT. TO THE ORGANIZERS, THE UE ACCOUNTING HONORS ALUMNI, I WISH YOU CONTINUED SUCCESS AND CONGRATULATE YOU FOR YOUR MAGNANIMOUS GESTURE.

AS IN GOLF, I SAY, FINISH HIGH FELLOW ALUMNI, FINISH HIGH!

THANK YOU AND GOOD EVENING.
