Dear Honored Members of PGBI,

It is with great pride and a profound sense of accomplishment that I address you today to report on the successful celebration of our 26th PGBI Founding Anniversary and 22nd National Convention. The event was held from August 15 to 17, 2026, at the prestigious Mezzo Hotel in Cebu City, a venue that provided an excellent setting for our gathering of unity, camaraderie, and strategic planning.

This milestone occasion was graciously hosted by our dedicated PGBI Region 7, headed by Gil “FRMG SHEMA” Corbes, whose leadership and meticulous planning contributed significantly to the seamless execution of the event. We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to our National Executive Vice President (NEVP) and Chief Legal Counsel, Atty. Pedro Leslie “FRMG PLS” B. Salva, whose unwavering support and guidance ensured that all aspects of the convention ran smoothly.

Furthermore, we would like to acknowledge and thank the invaluable support of our Vice-President for Visayas, Glen “FRMG HAWK” T. Domingo. His dedication and efforts in ensuring the success of the event and the continued growth of the organization in the Visayas region were truly commendable.

We also recognize the hardworking Regional Founders’ Council Director, Warren “FRMG WARS” Singculan, whose tireless efforts and leadership played a critical role in the preparations and overall success of the convention.

In addition, we extend our sincere appreciation to all the Regional Delegates and Overseas members who joined us in this momentous occasion. Your active participation and unwavering support continue to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood and unity across all regions and overseas chapters.

Over the three days, members from all regions came together to reflect on our past achievements, discuss challenges, and chart a progressive path forward. The convention featured inspiring keynote speeches, insightful workshops, and fruitful discussions that reinforced our commitment to service, unity, and the core values that define PGBI.

The celebratory atmosphere was complemented by various social activities that fostered stronger bonds among members, reaffirmed our collective dedication, and celebrated our history of accomplishments. The event also provided an opportunity to recognize outstanding members and leaders whose contributions have been instrumental to our growth.

I am pleased to report that the event’s success was evident in the high level of participation, positive feedback from attendees, and the renewed enthusiasm for our shared mission. It reaffirmed our resolve to continue fostering brotherhood, supporting community initiatives, and upholding the principles that make PGBI a formidable organization.

In closing, I extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who made this event possible—our hardworking organizers, volunteers, sponsors, and most importantly, our members. Let this convention serve as a catalyst for even greater achievements as we move forward together into the future.

See you in the next National Convention in Laoag City, Ilocos Norte, to be hosted by Region 1 headed by Bernardino “FRMG BERNZ” R. Rodillas.

Maraming salamat po, and may we continue to serve with integrity, passion, and unity.
