After the election of Directors for 2013 at the last GMM for 2012, the ten elected directors elected from among themselves the officers who will serve in 2013.
Below are the results.
- President and Director Gabby Patag TNT Express
- Vice President and Director Arnel Gamboa Benby Enterprises
- Secretary and Director Cora Curay XVC Logistics
- Treasurer and Director Lito Nepomuceno ICCI
- Auditor and Director Max Yap Oriental & Motolite
- PRO and Director Henry Batallones SSI Schaefer
- Director George Yumul ABM Global
- Director Jess Sarmiento Smart
- Director Manny Onrejas Fast Cargo
- Director Reynalita Cano PLDT
The first five directors above are returnees, i. e., they served in 2012. Henry Batallones and George Yumul served as committee chairmen in 2012. Thus there will be sufficient continuity, yet there will be new blood. No doubt Manny Onrejas will get the full support of 2012 president and “supply chain idol” Ike Castillo, who will be in the background to continue to give solid advice to the Board.
The election was held under the amended by-laws. One of the key amendments is that the Directors coming from the ranks of logistics service providers are no longer limited to two out of ten. The limit has been increased to three. Thus there are three service providers in the new Board – TNT, XVC and Fast Cargo.
Committee chairpersons will be appointed by the Board.
Another key amendment which is now operative is that there will no longer be a limit to the number of service providers in the membership. Prior to the amendment, service providers had been limited to 20%. Furthermore the restriction on purely transport service providers has been lifted. The only restriction remaining is to monopolies and cartels.
