Our sincerest apology for the late announcement of the competition results, to all the winners, their representatives and friends, and the contest participants and photo enthusiasts who has endured the confusions and disappointments on our failure to announce the above winners during the PEBA Awards Night.

In behalf of the PEBA Organization, I admit that words are not enough to comfort the emotional pains, and I apologize in complete humility and beg forgiveness for the inconvenience and embarrassment that this event has caused to the participants and followers of the PEBA 2010 International Photo Contest as I pray for your forgiveness and magnanimity.

As we move towards a new PEBA season and in consultation with our sponsors, we are exploring the possibilities of holding a photo exhibit presenting the Photo Contest Winners of both PEBA 2009 and 2010 along with the participants of the upcoming 2011 PEBA Int'l Photo competition.

Lastly, our deepest gratitude to the PEBA volunteers, supporters, Partners and Sponsors of the concluded PEBA 2010 that despite of our imperfections you have indicated your commitment and support to PEBA Inc. as we prepare our 4th PEBA Annual Awards.

May our flaws and imperfections provide us individually and as a Team the potential to improve and build ourselves with our own sheer power and will, and with the help of others as well; as we continue with our mission in reaching out with our Global Filipinos through the acts of volunteerism.

Mr. Jebee Kenji Solis

Founding Chairman, PEBA, Inc.

Carlo Ople, PEBA 2010 Keynote Speaker. Read Carlo Ople's Speech transcript here.

"Before anything else I would like to acknowledge the organizers and sponsors of this event. You guys have done a remarkable job and I’m sure it wasn’t easy pulling everything together since for the most part of this year you were all in different parts of the world. For that may I request that we all give them a round of applause.

It is my honor to be invited as the keynote speaker. PEBA symbolizes two things that are very dear to me and my family. First, the OFW program was primarily driven and started by my grandfather, the late Sec. Blas F. Ople. This advocacy is being continued by my aunt, Susan Ople, who is now the President of the Blas F. Ople Policy and Training Institute. I see so much of my grandfather in my Tita Toots and I pray that you guys continue to give her your support in her endeavors."
