A productive day for DENDA! 💜
Today, September 16, 2026, the DENDA Economic Network for Developing Entrepreneurs, Inc. held its Executive Board Meeting and Organizational Development Workshop at the BUP Headquarters, Sunrise Village, Isabela City.
The meeting was led by DENDA Chairperson Hon. Karel Annjaiza R. Sakkalahul-Hataman, together with Vice President Ms. Marites Abah, Treasurer Hon. Kasey Lean Suela, and Auditor Ms. Nurhaifa Muallamin.
Also present were our Area Coordinators: Ms. Ruby Suela for Lantawan, Ms. Niyong Falcon for Maluso, Ms. Perlita Mendoza for Lamitan, and Ms. Nurhana Jumlaha for Albarka and Tipo-Tipo. The activity was supported by our Technical Working Team composed of Ms. Annie Sanson, Ms. Asmira Munjalil, Ms. Darwisa Indaka, Ms. Trisha Badiang, Ms. Arwa Janang, and Ms. Farhana Ordoñez.
Maraming mahahalagang usapin ang ating tinalakay—mula sa membership updates, organizational restructuring, registration and accreditation, livelihood opportunities, DENDA Souvenir and Café, DENDA website, at iba pang proposed programs for our members and their communities.
We also discussed the integration of Waqf and Sadaqah into our organization through our partnership with selective Islamic Institution around Basilan, as well as the conduct of regular Board meetings to ensure that our concerns, responsibilities, and programs are properly monitored and acted upon.
More than presenting reports, the meeting gave us an opportunity to listen, clarify our responsibilities, identify existing challenges, and agree on our next steps. Marami pa tayong kailangang gawin, but we are moving forward with a clearer direction and a stronger commitment to serve.
Maraming salamat sa lahat ng dumalo, nagbahagi ng kanilang ideas, at patuloy na naniniwala sa layunin ng DENDA. Ang bawat plano ay magiging makabuluhan lamang kung ito ay susundan ng konkretong pagkilos.
From discussion to action, we move forward together. 💜
