Season’s Greetings from Pres. Paz Radaza
December 17, 2007
Dear FELLOW RURAL BANKERS,
With the festive decorations that surround us exuding joy and gaiety, Christmas has truly arrived. And I would like to be among those who will convey to you the eternal meaning of this blessed season of love, peace, and joy. The travails and challenges that has assailed us, both as individual bankers and as member-banks of our Association, should not deter us from our goals but instead it should be our beacon that will illuminate our way to greater achievement.
