MORE COMMENT/S ABOUT THE JUNE 9, 2013 OFCC CONVENTION =====COMMENT FROM ANGIE SANTIAGO, NEW OFCC 1VP Re: OFCC Annual Convention Thanks Show Details Hi everyone! Wow! What a well-planned, well-organized, and productive convention! Kudos to the outstanding, dedicated and hard-working team - the OFCC's Officers and Directors, OFCC's Legal Counsel Daisy Hartsfield, past OFCC Presidents and Officers, the members of the various convention committees, and the volunteers who put in many hours of brain-storming and sharing their ideas, talents and resources. All that resulted in a smooth, efficient, well-conducted, and well-attended convention! ========= Congratulations to you, Jean, and to all the Officers and Directors elected and returning Directors! I personally would like express my sincere thank you to everyone for making this convention a very memorable one for me! ============ I look forward to working together with each and everyone of you to continue the mission of the OFCC:============ "To promote and perpetuate the Filipino cultural heritage; to help unite all Filipino organizations for the common welfare of the Filipino community; to encourage the Filipinos to develop a strong sense of responsibility; and a greater participation for the betterment of the Filipino community and the island of Oahu as a whole."

My apologies for this late message. But I literally crashed last night when I got home around 7:30 pm. I guess my body finally gave in after so many late nights (sometimes sleepness nights) and woke up this morning feeling a little under the weather. Let me congratulate each and everyone for all your hard work, your time and efforts and most of all, your support, trust and confidence in me to serve you for another 12 months. A leader may have the qualities, the skills, and experience to lead but without the "right army" behind a leader, the team will not succeed. Therefore, my victory is your victory. Our mission and goals will be united and we will only move forward. There is no time to dwell on the past; it simply sets us back. But I am fully confident with the team I have and the many supporters who came forward that we can do and accomplish only what is best for OFCC and we want it to be the best Council it can be!!! I am really proud of you all for a job well done and honored to work with you. I have heard only positive words and high praises for our convention yesterday ...... from our legal counsel - Atty. Daisy Hartsfield ( a fantastic job well done!!!), Jake Manegdeg, Larry Ramirez, Amado Yoro, Jun Abinsay, Ilalo Parayno, Baybee Ablan, Ben Cabreros, John Ramos, Louie Fontanilla, all our marshalls, our canvassers, our set-up crew, our convention committee, Danny Villaruz (the nominations and elections was very transparent and orderly), Angie Santiago, Jenny Quezon,Julius Soria (my forever right hand), Vanessa Pulido and many more that I wish I could name them all. The Convention delegates not only witnessed my accomplishments as your President, but came to the realization that everything they saw yesterday was the result of a strong united team. Get some needed rest as well. We have a lot of work ahead of us and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you again. A big mahalo from the bottom of my heart. ============FROM ATTY DAISY BALAIS HARTSFIELD ====LEGAL COUNSEL===== On Mon, Jun 10, 2013 at 7:35 AM, Eddie D.

There were many by-laws that were amended during the convention and given the fact that by-laws are not often amended, I believe that the process of amending them (as well as the convention rule) was productive because of the hard work and preparation by all those that helped with it. It was also nice to see the 2013 Miss Oahu Filipina present there throughout the whole convention. I also hope that with President Jeremiah's action of reaching out to accept Past President Etrata's congratulations will quash any talk of purposeful divisiveness within the council. I believe Auditor Hufana has photos to document this unity that is expected from now on. Finally, thank you again to: Jake Manegdeg and Amado Yoro, Chair and Co-Chair of the Convention Committee who were able to rally everyone to help and organized all the meetings; Ben and Carmen Cabreros for allowing the committee to use St. Anthony Church's meeting room - we had a certificate framed for the church but with all the excitement at the convention failed to present it to you so please accept our apology for that; and all of you (too many to name but you know who you are) who attended the meetings, helped at the convention, shared your time and knowledge, and brought food and drinks to sustain us all when we met MARAMING SALAMAT PO! Until we meet again, take care and get ready for an even more successful year with OFCC. Regards from your legal counsel, Daisy
