Dear Fellow Rural Bankers,
The ushering of a new year brings anticipation and hope to everyone as it also marks the wisdom and experiences gained from the past year. It is a fitting culmination to the numerous activities that have unraveled and a rebirth to the optimism and challenges that lie ahead. It is this spirit that strengthens our determination to reach greater heights and embrace loftier ideals.
Dear FELLOW RURAL BANKERS,
As we have witnessed in the past 10 years, the Micro-enterprise Access to Banking Services (MABS) Program hosted by the Rural Bankers Association of the Philippines (RBAP) has been a solid achievement that has propelled the delivery of our microfinance product to our rural constituencies. Its success in the rural banking system has drawn the interest of many sectors both in the Philippines and abroad. It has been a platform for innovative technology-based banking products that is both cost-efficient and user-friendly as it also serves as a latch for a network of partnerships it has built that has largely benefited our sector.
Unequivocal manifestation of unity, the General Membership during the September 13-14, 2007 Special General Membership Meeting (SGMM) repudiated the August 21, 2007 meeting and election.
