Please join me in wishing Estrellita Purugganan, our New SAS Ai Treasurer a very Happy Birthday Today, Tuesday, September 14th. Today Estrell turns 39 years old. Many happy returns and we hope that you will celebrate more birthdays in the years to come.
To brother Hermes - Mr Purugganan himself, the proud head of the House of Purugganan we say thank you for helping SAS Ai through your solid support of Estrell.

Please welcome our New Madame Treasurer, Ms Estrellita Purugganan. She currently lives and works in the beautiful state of Virginia with her husband, Mr Hermes Purugganan and their two daughters. Estrell joined SAS Ai because she is driven by her generous and kind heart to reach out to the poor kids and help them get a good high school education.
She fondly remembers the days when she herself used to attend SAS, coming all the way from Santa Cruz, sometimes riding jeepneys and buses just to make it on time. The nuns were strict then too and she knows that SAS gives quality education combined with spiritual and social formation teachings. Estrell knows the value of hard work having come from humble beginnings herself. She is an accountant by education and a Quality Assurance Analyst by trade and work experience. She is currently affiliated with the big aerospace company Northrop Grumman.

In welcoming Estrell to the position, let us give our heartfelt expressions of gratitude to Elizabeth Fajardo, who was the first to volunteer as SAS Ai's treasurer. Her reasons for passing the responsibility to Estrell are based on the current economic climate and job constraints. Liza is a perfectionist and will be the first one to tell you that since she can no longer allocate a decent amount of time to look after the SAS Ai financials, it would serve SAS Ai better if somebody else did the work. Unselfishly, she gave the challenge to Estrell knowing that SAS Ai will be in good, capable hands.
We thank her very much for her sacrifices, her personal attention and commitment. Liza has become the first lifetime member of the board. It was part of her pact with Estrell when they negotiated the conditions of the responsibility change or hand-over. Which proves that not only is Estrell an expert at handling the books, she is also an expert negotiator.
Thank you Liza and God speed.
