MR. MANUEL V. PANGILINAN
Chairman
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT)

Makati Avenue, Makati City
Dear Manny,
As you must have gathered from news reports by now, I have accepted the position of Trade & Industry Department Secretary and will serve the government as a member of the President’s economic team effective February 2005.
Consequently, I hereby relinquish my position as Director as from 10 February 2005.
I do so with a sense of sadness, as I will surely miss the camaraderie, the friendship, and the team spirit that we have shared in the board, which have made my stint a truly rewarding and enriching experience.
I hope that whatever good I contribute to the economic team in my capacity as DTI Secretary, will boost further the good that you too have been doing all these years to help our country.
Mr. Chairman and my colleagues, I thank you sincerely for everything. I wish you all continued success!
|
|
Sincerely,
JUAN B. SANTOS
