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.
