From Gil Carolino: The 2012-13 VHSAFI Board Takes a Bow

We take a bow because our one-year term has ended.

We take a bow because we are happy we have served in accordance with the vision of promoting the general welfare of our dear alma mater, its students, teachers and staff, and our alumni friends and colleagues, as well.

We are taking a bow because we are confident the new team shares the same passion and dedication to serve.

With deep sense of humility, we trumpet the cornerstone of our year-long administration --- absolute transparency. WITHOUT FAIL, we published on a regular monthly basis in the http://villamorhighschool.org website, the financial condition (Cash Flow Statement) of the Foundation. While there is absolutely no misappropriation of funds for personal interest even by the past administrations, WE did not take for granted our duty to get the alumni informed of what was happening, especially on matters involving finance.

We were passionate in getting as many alumni and groups of alumni involved. We relentlessly sought them, and finding them, we made them attend and participate in the discussions during the monthly meetings. They were satisfied there was nothing confidential. Though not members of the Board, they could feel they were part of the Team. The Foundation was greatly rewarded. Much sought unity has been realized, and with the feeling of belongingness, we had a highly successful, records-setting Grand Reunion and Homecoming last February 9, 2013 (Please refer to the report published in the website last February.

We were doubly fortunate because our colleagues overseas, particularly from America and Canada, encouraged and inspired us and never wavered to extend financial assistance for our educational program and projects.

Lastly, we take a bow because your Foundation has served as an important instrument in enhancing and further reinforcing the character of the students (and parents, as well) by conducting workshops on Values and Attitudes, and Self-Awareness through group dynamics.

We are the members of the 2012-13 Board of Trustees:

AND,we are turning-over the Foundation’s finances as of
