MANILA – The Brotherhood of Christian Businessmen and Professionals (BCBP) is throwing its full support to President Benigno Aquino as he continues with reforms for transparency and professionalism in public service.

Aquino recently attended the Brotherhood of Christian Businessmen and Professionals (BCBP) Grand Breakfast as guest of honor and speaker at the SMX Mall of Asia, Pasay City.

The BCBP, a Catholic charismatic organization composed of businessmen and professionals nationwide, hosted a grand breakfast for President Aquino to convey its commitment to help his government in transforming the Philippines into a progressive nation.

“We look to him for inspiration, guidance and direction on how we, in the businesses and professions, can help in bringing about meaningful change in the lives of our fellow Filipinos,” said BCBP president Manny Jimenez in his welcome remarks.

“Despite the controversies and corruption in our midst that threaten to divide our nation and our people, the country is blessed to have a President who is a beacon of honesty and good governance,” Jimenez said.

For his part, Aquino acknowledged the support of the BCBP and assured the group that he remains focused on fostering inclusive growth by fighting corruption.

“Today, we find ourselves at a time where we are cleaning up and strengthening our systems and processes; at a time when we once more face a crossroad—if we choose what is right and what is straight, this is the path that will bring us to true and meaningful change in society,” he said.

“It is my hope that, as a people, we will see today’s destruction of the culture of corruption as part of our goal to achieve inclusive growth. It is true that I can accomplish little working alone compared to what we can accomplish working as one people. If we continue to work and to do our part, I promise that we will be able to achieve our collective aspirations: not merely fleeting reform, but true transformation that we can leave as a legacy for succeeding generations,” he added.

Jimenez said the BCBP shared the concerns of other sectors on the challenges – caused by calamities and human conflicts – confronting the country today and the need to address these.

“As members of the business community, we are united in our concern about the country’s welfare, and in our common desire for transparency and professionalism in public service,” he said.

Jimenez said the grand breakfast is BCBP’s “own version of the Million People March,” an activity which seeks to show that members of the business group are “one in advocating honesty and good governance in our public officials.”

Jimenez said he hopes Aquino would continue to step up efforts for a clean government and “pursue his vision and commitment towards the attainment of the right path.”

The BCBP is a national organization of over 200,000 Christian businessmen and professionals who have consciously decided to band together to bring about transformation in the marketplace and inspire positive changes in the value system of business.
