35 RB Directors Completed Corporate Governance & Risk Management Course

Last 17-18 March 2005, RBRDFI held its 28th Seminar-Workshop on Corporate Governance and Risk Management for RB Directors at RBAP Conference Room, Intramuros, Manila. Thirty-five (35) incoming and incumbent directors completed the said seminar.
The 2-day seminar-workshop created an air of understanding among the participants on their huge role as rural bank directors and in discerning the risks that may be deterrent to the smoothness of the rural bank operation. Moreso, the same instilled the appropriate course of actions and decisions that may be done in the context of fairness, accountability and transparency.
Mr. Nestor Z. Flores, Vice President for Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation Human Resource Management Group, lectured on the Corporate Governance with full enthusiasm. Ms. Irene D.L. Arroyo, East West Bank VP-Treasurer, gave her thorough insights on Risk Management. BSP Examiners Ms. Cheryl Lyn R. Hernandez and Mr. Christopher L. Malaluan, both Specialist II of the Supervision and Examination IV of the BSP, supervised the two-day seminar.
