"We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community…Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own."

I am extremely overwhelmed of the progress made by the Limerick Filipino Community, as a whole, despite its early stages and impending formalities. And I am in awed of the achievements it has achieved in the recent months. There’s no doubt that the LFC is going forward and moving a step closer to the next level.

"For a community to be whole and healthy, it must be based on people’s love and concern for each other."

The honors and accolades the LFC has gained and received are great manifestations of the love, cooperation, concern, and hardwork invested in it. It also shows that unity has its sweetest profits. It is travelling in the right direction and moving in the right path. There maybe some obstacles along the way, but with its strongest foundations, wrapped with a single dream, I’m positive it can stand the test of time - "together we stand, divided we fall."

"The common characteristics of people make a community possible, but it is their uncommon qualities that make it better."

Diversity, despite its cynicism, has its own advantage. Ideas, opinions, and philosophies may differ from one another and sometimes, may lead to argumentations, but in a positive note, it is healthy. Healthy, in a sense, it shows the will and desire to better and improve more the LFC thus, the sharing and interaction. At the end of the day, it has reached a certain point where the LFC’s interest will benefit from it and agreed upon by the community.

Credits to all the people behind the LFC. They have served the community unconditionally and well. I encourage them to continue what they have started doing; but I discourage them to use the LFC for personal gains and for self-interests. Any selfish motives that may jeopardize the harmony and the flow of peace of the LFC must not be tolerated. Think of the community AS A WHOLE, not individually. A brighter future awaits.

Congratulations and goodluck.
