Kayo ang naging katuwang ko sa bawat hakbang, at ang ating pagkakaisa ay nagbigay daan upang maisakatuparan natin ang ating mga layunin. Hindi ko makakalimutan ang inyong sakripisyo sa araw-araw; ang pagkakaisa at pag-oorganisa ng lahat sa tuwing mayroong programa o bisita.” He then formally relinquished his responsibilities as Provincial Director.
