EULOGY FOR EVELYN SALIRE/SEC. GEN. OF PRA WHO PASSED ON 16 NOV. 2023 |
Thursday, 16 November 2023 |
Close to 3 decades ago, a piece of coal entered
what was then the Chamber of Dept. Stores (precursor of the PRA). I say
coal not because it was black or it dirtied its surroundings but because
it was capable of producing diamonds within. It was so they say, Evelyn
was a diamond in the rough. I
was fortunate to have represented PAGASA as its VP during the early
years of the PRA. The Phil. Amalgamated Supermarkets Assn. has matured
through the years holding the hands of Kuya PRA. Through
these years, the diamond within Evelyn Balmeo-Salire was developed and
polished as its color shined through brightly, carats of initiated
activities turned priceless into retail tradition, clarity of her
purpose at the PRA became national as well as global and cuts of her
diamond grew into a Team of honed staff ready to carry out PRA's thrusts
for any given year. Coal
no more, we salute the diamond that in one way or the other propelled
the PRA into what it is today. Of course, the Officers coursed the PRA
through good times & bad but Evelyn carried out their decisions
& made things happen for the PRA. Rest well, my friend...until we
all meet again. |

different industries including that of FMCG's. Interrupted by the
pandemic, the DAP resumed the review in the morning of 17 October 2023
at their Head Office in Ortigas Center, Pasig. Focus of discussion

government when it comes to rules & regulations and its lack of
development of the different industries leading to a void in
self-sufficiency and food security. Consultation was done by DAP's
Research Associate Janine Coleen D. de Villa and Supervisor Reuel
