Fellow Alumni:

At the outset, I wish to thank you all for your trust and confidence in me for choosing me to lead this august body towards a shared responsibility of sustaining our Alma Mater – Vigan Minor Seminary.

We are part of this novice organization with a new leadership. This requires more commitment than being a leader of a province. It requires voluntary commitment and sacrifices to ensure its sustainability. Above all, it requires impeccable desire from all the members to partake in the activities, programs and projects we have to undertake.

Let us set aside POLITICS while I serve this organization. I am not here to politicize. I am here to assist. I can only say that my hands always extend to every need to fulfill the duties required of me as a member and as an alumnus.

I know for a fact that as a starting foundation, we will meet challenges and struggles like any organization has gone through. But with your commitment, I believe we can hurdle these challenges and continue to survive against all odds.

I thank you once again for choosing me as your leader and more especially as a father to this new family.

Your brother in Christ,

JEREMIAS “JERRY” SINGSON Chairman COUNCIL OF ELDERS
