“On behalf of the Board of Directors and the management and staff of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority(SBMA) , I wish everyone the joys and blessings of the season!
With Christmas and the New Year come hope and good tidings – hope for a better, brighter future; good tidings about the great opportunities that lie ahead for the Subic Bay Freeport community.
Yet as we celebrate the season and look forward to another year, let us also reflect on the challenges we have surpassed and brought us together. Let us be grateful that we emerged stronger as a team and community, as #oneSBMA.

Upon this strength, we shall rely on in building a better Subic, a community that is worthy of the hopes and dreams of our children. We shall build upon our newfound unity to further our goals, improve our services, and engage our stakeholders.
On a personal note, I would also like to express my gratitude and appreciation to all who welcomed me back and continue to make my every effort worth my while. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your support, love, friendship, and prayers, which are my source of inspiration and hope during trying times.
I shall continue to rely on your support now more than ever, as we need to work together and better. Let us set aside any and all personal interests for the sake of our beloved SBMA. Let us keep giving of ourselves, even when we have nothing else to give.
Let us live out the true spirit of the season – love, compassion, and “malasakit” – in our daily lives, our work, and our relationship with one another.
