Warm greetings to everyone!

    I can vividly remember 22 years ago when I was hired as a bookkeeper at the Lagawe Highlands Rural Bank, Inc. – the juridical name of BancoLagawe. I was just having a simple dream by then – to do the work which was expected from me and have salary. But that simple dream have changed as we go along .The bank came across many different challenges. We had the lows and highs, failures and successes, the cries and laughters. The journey is not that easy, we need to learn and change gears depending on the terrain in order to be on track.

    Today is the 22nd year of BancoLagawe! There are set of people whom I want to thank on this significant day. Firstly, allow me to recall with gratitude the initiative of the pioneer of this bank, the Philippine Rural Reconstruction Movement (PRRM), who envisioned of helping people in the rural communities. Their unconditional support to the bank is unbounded. Secondly, the past and present Board of Directors for their invaluable guidance and collaborative ideas. Thirdly, our selfless Stockholders who had entrusted their hard-earned money. Fourthly, the past and present employees who have worked against all odds that occurred in the past 22 years. Lastly, the success of BancoLagawe would not be possible without you, our dear CLIENTS! Your trust and confidence on us is our inspiration to give our BEST SERVICE that strengthens our partnership. All your contributions are remembered with gratefulness! 

Above all, Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

Lets give a round of applause to our unity and efforts! Keep growing and celebrating victories. Happy 22nd year to all. Haggiyo BancoLagawe!
