Message from the President
EDITOR’S NOTE
Passion for dedicated service and commitment
to excellence is a choice. And on this issue, we
feature three MPs who have led our crusade
towards improvement. Merlyn Agad, Victoria
Pineda, and Erwin Recaido, our Shining Star
awardees last December, are on the cover this
month.
DORIS MAGSAYSAY HO,
President and CEO
There are some people who do not ask questions. They ride the jeep without caring why
the fare is up by P2, they do not wonder
why their computer is sometimes slow as a
snail, and they do not marvel at how they
can reach anyone anywhere in the world with
their amazing mobile phone. These people
have little curiosity at the world around them.
As Magsaysay People, we are innovators and
we need to take a passionate interest in the
‘how, what, and why’ of the things around us.
Together, we must break our problems into
parts, evaluate our performance, take action,
and improve our strategies and processes to
achieve our vision.
has made significant achievements with 60%
of the company running SAP. Soon, we will
also be launching SAP NetWeaver Portal and
Knowledge Management to help achieve organizational objectives.
All these technology are put in place to empower each employee. I enjoin you all to
think, question, and be creative.

Meranti Magsaysay employees, specifically
from Costa fleet and Recruitment, who were
invited to a tour inside the ship later on.
The Indonesia-based MPs prepared and provided transportation to the families of the
crew onboard so that they can personally

The gathering that day was a simple yet
heart-warming experience for the MPs, crew,

or their dedication, exemplary service, and
distinguished work in their respective fields,
Merlyn L. Agad, Erwin R. Recaido, and Vic-
Merlyn L. Agad
toria Regina L. Pineda were given the Shining
Star awards at the MAGSAYSAY 60th Anniversary
last December 22, 2008. These individuals are stalwarts in their commitment to their duties, taking the
initiative to satisfy office and community needs for
the betterment of MAGSAYSAY. The three are not
the only awardees, but they stand out as employees
who have carved a niche that only they can fill in
the company.
Merlyn L. Agad received the Shining Star award for
Responsibility through her relentlessness as an accounting and admin supervisor not just for Visayas
Erwin R. Recaido
but for Mindanao as well. As part of the NMCCLI
Cagayan de Oro, she also handles other branches,
namely; Davao, General Santos, and Cebu. She
shuttles to and from her home base to keep opera-

tions running smoothly. Multiple responsibilities and
tremendous pressures brought on by her demanding
work did not hinder Agad from effectively executing
her tasks.
Her gained expertise coupled with her ability to
lead others has resulted to the improvement of office
operations. Agad successfully sorted out and significantly lessened the once problematic collectibles in
her region.
Despite the scope of her duty, Agad does not lose
sight of people. She treats people as she would like
to be treated and leads by example. She shows sincere concern for the company and its people constantly.
The Shining Star award for Responsibility was also
given to Erwin R. Recaido, a man who wears two
hats for MMC – CMO CF3/Masterbulk WestfalLarsen; he is both a fleet manager and a manning
assistant. He willingly assumed both jobs and saw it
as an opportunity to put his skills in the service of others. His award is well-earned, as he often performs
his duties with minimal supervision and with no assistant to help him carry-out daily operations.
A self-starter, Recaido is a top-notch employee who
always keeps himself ready to answer the call of duty
24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Taking his work to
heart, he serves as an inspiration to others as he goes
the extra mile to accomplish his responsibilities and
would even say that “everyday is a working day.”
This hardworking individual is driven by a simple

motivation; he cares about his work, about his coworkers and his family. And with 15 years on the
job, Recaido wishes nothing more but to, continue
what he started.
Victoria Regina L. Pineda on the other hand, deserves
her Shining Star as much as the aforementioned
awardees but for a different reason: she earned
the Shining Star for Creativity. Pineda’s innovative
approach in instituting a new and different system
allowed customers to save Php5.5M a year on operating cost for each vessel.
She is a true problem-solver who understands the
customer’s perspective and meets their needs. She
has the ability to manage resources wisely and use
them to cultivate better processes. Pineda has never
let limitations dim her vision of unparalleled service.
She persistently seeks for ingenious ways to develop
operations further and takes on new challenges to
find opportunities to create positive changes.
Pineda does what needs to be done excellently. She
pours utmost dedication to her work continuously and
to the best of her abilities. Her initiative turned her into
a reliable employee who makes work exceptional
and efficient.
These three Shining Star awardees went beyond doing their jobs well. They approached work with a
“can-do” attitude and saw challenges as a chance
to make a difference. They encourage us to make
a commitment to excellence and develop a passion
for dedicated service. Once again, congratulations
to Merlyn L. Agad, Erwin R. Recaido, and Victoria
Regina L. Pineda for your inspiring work.
