ACKNOWLEDGEMENT-by the Commish
I wish to acknowledge with sincere appreciation and extend my heartiest thanks and congratulations to everyone who shared their time and effort, support and dedication in making the opening of the PBA-Michigan’s basketball season last Saturday, March 14, 2009 at the Oakland Community College Gym in Auburn Hills, Michigan. A huge success.
The ceremony was indeed lovely and the games that followed were very entertaining and I am certain that all of us were delighted to be a part of the celebration. I also wish to thank the team owners, tournament sponsors, team managers, the donors, and advertisers for their support and generosity. My special thanks to the enormous crowd that attended the festivities, it was truly an overwhelming success and thank God for a wonderful day for everyone in attendance to remember for long period of time.

Appreciation Never Depreciates
Many acts of kindness go unrecognized. Others are acknowledged by a quick word of thanks and some though few, are acknowledged by a note of appreciation. A word of appreciation are certainly nice, but a note of appreciation is even nicer. Words of thanks means that a person noticed your contribution, but a note of thanks mean that a person not only noticed it but was moved to action by it.
And what does a note of thanks do for you when you received it?
It motivates you to do even more kind deeds, a behavior to spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
A letter of appreciation can express gratitude for something in particular or anything in general. I am particularly grateful for some student nurses in the person of Tweet Maloto and Lorraine Bonotano for their action and attitude that were very meaningful, because it helped me see how much good there is in the world. I wish to thank them for their support during our short term medical mission in Guimaras, Iloilo. I really appreciate their enthusiasm for the task we had before us to accomplish and particularly thank them about all the information they shared and know about PBAM and NABA, as they claimed to have been continuously visiting these organization’s website in the past two years. I thank them for specially recommending their friends and neighbors to log on to the PBAM & NABA website and thank them for their special recognition of the PBAM’s accomplishments here in our community. It surely means a lot to our team here in Michigan to know that someone out there in the Philippines, in Iloilo, recognized the effort we put forth to the PBAM to make a difference in the lives of our youth and other age group. We appreciate and were absolutely overwhelmed with the reception, the picture taking and the presence of so many of them who came to wish , the Medical Mission, the PBAM and NABA well which is very meaningful to me and some of the officers of the PBAM in that missions.To Tweet, Lorraine and their classmates, thank you all and please know that you will always have a special place in our hearts.

PBAM and NABA Commissioner
