So, on this Christmas Day, as you probably are sitting back and relaxing after the Christmas Eve revelry, allow me to humbly share some moments this month that have brought me some Yuletide cheer. For starters, I was recently recognized as a “Man of Exemplary Influence” by the Philippine Cancer Society (PCS) for leadership and commitment to public service. For me, influence is more than a title or a platform; it is a responsibility. All persons of influence who can move heaven and earth, so to speak, when it comes to disaster recovery and resilience. Truly, a prime example of using exemplary influence to make a difference in the lives of every Filipino.
