And Confer Spectacular Awards
Aklan is witnessing a spectacular event which marks a spectacular achievement of a scion of the Tumbokon clan from Aklan, one who, in the words of DFA Undersecretary for International Economic Relations Edsel Custodio, has shied away from the glare and scapel of publicity and "may not be in the radar screen of public policy awareness…"
The event is the testimonial dinner and award of the Rotary Club of Kalibo and Aklan Press Club jointly sponsor on October 8, 2006, for Teodorico Tumbokon – Haresco, Jr. He will be awarded the "International Business Leadership" by the Rotary Club of Kalibo (RCK) and a Golden Press Award for Exemplary Business Leadership from the Aklan Press Club (APC).
Custodio, another Aklanon of unheralded spectacular climb in the ladder of Philippine bureaucracy, bears authentic witness to the unsurpassed and legendary achievement of Ted Haresco, Jr., in formulating the President’s Bridge Program (PBP) and providing it with an advantageous financing with concessional rate of interest which gave it reality. Edsel Custodio himself has the distinction of having risen from the ranks of the Department of Trade and Industry, from Trade Attaché to Director for Foreign Trade to DTI Assistant Secretary before his ascendancy to the ranks of the Philippine diplomatic Corp., as the first DFA Ambassador to the World Trade Organization and finally as incumbent DFA Undersecretary for International Relations.
Custodio’s
testimonial
"I must congratulate you most warmly for the success PBP has attained and the development impact and contribution it has given to our country and people. Little would I have realized that it would grow up to be the single biggest infrastructure program spanning three Presidential administrations, giving rural and isolated communities and peoples the necessary lifelines to centers of commerce, welfare and well-being, security and empowerment that these beneficiaries richly deserve."
"For somebody who is familiar with global business development and promotion for the past forty years, in the Dept. of Trade and Industry until 1999 and thereafter in the Dept. of Foreign Affairs, I am all to familiar with the difficulties of linking and weaving the concepts of merchandise imports with official development assistance and commercial credit from foreign governments and private sector suppliers into the Philippine infrastructural needs and priorities and the national development platform."
"But this is what precisely you have single-handedly created in the PBP. A sustainable and acceptable packaging characterized by quick identification of critical needs, quick implementation and completion, safely addressing the peculiarities of Philippine physical terrains, soil and climatic conditions, into structural designs and materials used which redounded to optimally competitive pricing. It needs talent, innovations and forward thinking."
"In short, your excellent, innovative and forward looking packaging of the PBP are themselves bridges to the lives; the continuing hopes and progress, the empowerment of the vast number of peoples served by these projects. You deserve the laurels of your hardwork and I strongly endorse your nomination for Entrepreneur of the Year award and the international recognition for business leadership." Only few Filipinos are gifted with Haresco’s brand of global outlook.
