President's Report
37th Annual Convention
As mentioned in my message in the Opening Session of our convention, I cannot imagine that it’s been almost two years now of having socially distanced activities. It is really a challenging period to an organization like ACPACI on how to maintain our commitment, especially in dispensing our duty.

To Board of Accountancy Chair, Honorable Dr. Noe Quiañola who was our distinguished speaker in the morning session; to Board Members, Chapter Presidents, Past Presidents, officers and members of ACPACI; to our distinguished speaker Mr. Manuel De Vera, fellow CPAs, colleagues and friends – a very pleasant afternoon to all and welcome to ACPACI’s 1st General Membership Meeting.
