‘UNWANTED’
Newly-elected President Delilan said although he is considered “unwanted” by some of his colleagues in the club, he still vows to make his leadership relevant to the welfare of the majority of the club members.
“This is a promise not just for myself and for my family, but to all the NPC members who gave me this opportunity to lead the oldest press club in the country,” he said.
He admitted that this will never be an easy journey for him.
But believes that God has reserved this journey for him and he is very much willing to devote some of his time to the club to advance the welfare of the club members who are my fellow media practitioners.
“I am your President who will raise the flag of the Negros Press Club,” Delilan said.*
