  1. Thank you sir, for posting this kind of information about the Board of Directors. It is a big help and additional knowledge for everybody in the company who are the members of the board, that anybody that passed the qualification can be a member of the board and become part of the company. This information also helps us to know how the meeting of the board is conducted.

  2. Good afternoon po. Salamat po sa pag-post ng information tungkol sa Board of Directors. At least nalaman po nang bawat isa sa amin na kaming mga empleyado ay maaaring maging board member kung aming gugustuhin at maging karapatdapat para maging member. Ang Board ang nagtatalaga ng mga tao sa mga posisyon at sila rin ang nag-dedecide kung sino ang hindi karapatdapat sa kumpanya.
