Non-profit group MOVER has installed a new set of officers who will assume their respective offices right after an oath-taking ceremony tentatively slated on April 9.
The new officers will serve one-year terms, said outgoing MOVER president Jun Lapeceros. The group held an election by balloting last Sunday at the Kilili Beach pavilion, where over 100 members participated.
Marites Castillo leads the incoming officers as president. The other elected officers include Gloria Ebbay and Loreto Cabo, vice presidents for internal and external affairs, respectively; and Juanito Cabo, treasurer.
Five executive positions—secretary, assistant treasurer, public relations officer, business manager, and auditor—remain vacant. Lapeceros said no member filed candidacies for those positions.
However, Lapeceros said the group’s board will appoint officers to the vacant executive posts. The appointees have yet to be named.
Nancy Zamora leads the board as chairperson. The 15-member board installed William Bagano and Ranulfo Baltazar as vice chair and secretary, respectively.
The other board members include Victoria Ladia, Leonarda Benito, Ben Ebbay, Maria Nenita Brewer, Rogelio Benito, Renato Vergara, Venus Acera, Miles Fernandez, Emelita Fernandez, Marlyn Magtapat, Radino Garcia, and Francisco Flores.
MOVER has over 150 members. Established in 2001 as an organization of Filipino workers in the CNMI, the association has metamorphosed into an environmentalist group, bagging an environmental achievement award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 9 in 2004. MOVER has been actively involved in various environment cleanup projects.
