Your Consultancy work at Advent Software, Inc. was marked by speed and quality work. No wonder you earned the label Speedy Gonzalez in so short a time.

Cenen,
As a Lecturer in finance and accounting, your students are very lucky to have you as their mentor. You can hardly find someone in the academe who could teach based on the functional experience that you have gained from working in top-rated global companies. No wonder many of your former students have achieved success in their chosen fields. I only hope you could find time to write your own book in accounting and finance.

I always like attending your class not only because of the depth of your lectures, but also because of the practical lessons that follow. Indeed, it was always a wholesome experience attending your class especially when it comes to the last two minutes when the important winning values are revealed.

Cenen,
God generously rewards and truly takes care of all those who sincerely love and obey Him. You are a perfect example of God's providence. I had no doubt that you would make it in America because of your vast and deep experience as an ADB middle-management person and as a member of La Salle's academic community. One thing about us Pinoys (at least those who are skilled and qualified like you): We can compete with the best that the rest of the world has to offer. We have the knowledge, the grit, and the determination to succeed. We are driven by two guiding principles: Faith in God and Love of Family. With those principles, we can never go wrong --- anytime, anywhere.
All the best to you and your family.

CENEN HERRERA, is a man truly worthy of his calling. I have worked and had been a friend of his from 1990 until my retirement from ADB in 1999. I could attest to the fact that due to his diligence, reliability , skills and efficiency, he rose among the ranks from an accounting clerk to an internal auditor and finally as a Financial Policy and Credit Risk expert in the Financial Policy Division of the Treasury Department, Asian Development Bank.

Cenen Herrera is my friend and colleague since 1998. He was also my mentor and supervisor for about four years while working in the Financial Policy Division at the Asian Development Bank.
As a supervisor, Cenen has demonstrated exceptional skills in leadership. He leads by example, a trait which has drawn the admiration from his peers. He has an insatiable appetite for learning and has exceptional writing skills. His work attitude is highly commendable as he does his work with the highest efficiency and accuracy. He is truly reliable and dependable.
As a mentor, Cenen instilled in me the same work ethics that he practices and this has helped me grow career-wise. It was a pleasure working with him.
What really sets Cenen apart from the rest is how he balances his career, family and spiritual life. He is, first and foremost, guided by his strong spiritual beliefs. This is the reason why, in spite of his achievements, he is really grounded with reality. He is a very humble person. He is truly a friend, someone you could count on, no matter how busy he is.

Cenen,
These are my comments on your performance in the course in Business Ethics. Your final report and research was done with excellent insights into situations that raised ethical issues. Your format in presenting the issues and your analysis of them was clear and unambiguous. The learning papers were learning opportunities for you to improve practice in the matters of ethical issues. Your chapter reports on Weiss and Hultman were prepared and discussed well. In using your experience at ADB in looking at ethical issues and concerns was helpful in understanding theories and their applications in actual settings. Your course grade is 4.0.
Congratulations and good luck to you as you move on to new life.

I have known Cenen for many years. He is one of the most talented staff that I had the privilege of working with in ADB.I am very happy for Cenen. He deserves to be recognized for his expertise. Only in the US will he get what he richly deserves. ADB's loss is the US's gain.

I would like to take this opportunity to let you know what I think about your planned departure from ADB. Your leaving the bank is a big loss to us all. But you have dreams to pursue.

Your emails/write-ups always make me consult the dictionary for new words and phrases that I am ignorant about. Thanks for having known you; you enlarged my knowledge of words/sayings I knew not before. And thanks for the brief years of working with you at the ADBEMC and with the Bank. Your wealth of wisdom and knowledge has broadened my horizon.

Dear Cenen,
Certainly, your departure is a great loss not only to ADB but to our country as well. You are such a talented and compassionate person...we'll miss your company. I wish you and your family all the best in your new endeavors!

Cenen,
You may not even know me personally but I would like to tell you that I'm sad that we will be losing a very good leader here, a man who is of good integrity, good worker, and maybe there's nothing bad that could be said about you. It's just sad to think that we're losing another good fellow here unfortunately, there are not many like you.
Warm regards,

Dear Cenen,
It's been only a brief moment since I had the privilege to work with you in the Staff Council and you have proven to me your worth. You have shown us that honor is more worthy rather than false hopes that cannot be fulfilled. You have made many sacrifices to prove your point.
Good luck and I know you will make it.
Thank you.

Hi Cenen,
Your retirement is certainly a big loss for the Staff Council (SC).
Much as they say that SC work is a thankless job, I extend my hand to say THANK YOU for all the time, energy, and effort you have put into promoting staff welfare. You are truly one of the people who have made a difference.

Hi Cenen,
Though we've been together, only for a short while, in the same work area here in ADB I found you a very confident person. It's a blunder to letting you leave ADB. I'd been in ADB for almost 27 years and witnessed how the SC and ADBEMC run. You've been a fantastic lead mentor
Gabby M. Avila
Management Services Officer
Asian Development Bank
Cenen...
Wow..that soon...outpouring of support for you is overwhelming... I feel so proud to have known you and that you are appreciated in ADB (I can't imagine how much more you feel). I miss most of our morning commute to ADB. I have learned a lot from you, but hopefully our paths will cross again.
As they say, the more important thing is that people know you passed by and not how colorful/eventful was the sending off party... Your stay in ADB was characterized by a legacy of accomplishments and intellectual "calisthenics"-
We have been talking about this possibility of you emigrating way back, and I know you have been planning this for a long time...I know that foremost, you are doing this for the kids, and I just know like any other big decisions you ever had to make, this has been very well thought through. With that I wish you all the best!
Remember to keep in touch.

I wanna thank you for being one of the greatest teachers I have had at De La Salle University. I will never forget the advice you've given us and the words of wisdom and encouragement. I m moving on to the next level...the CPA Board exams and I really hope I do well on it. I have so many dreams and I hope one day we'll bump into each other and Ill be telling you all of my accomplishments. Thanks sir! You're one of a kind!
All the best and God bless!

Message from the Chair
(Last Day as Chairperson, ADB Employees Multipurpose Cooperative 31 March 2006):
Dear Colleagues,
Last night's Board meeting was another milestone in my ADBEMC life. The sharing of views among the participants was indeed a very humbling experience. I came to know at least four important lessons during my term as your Chair - ADBEMC:
1. Searching for Cooperative Knowledge was our Greatest Adventure in ADBEMC;
2. Loving the ADBEMC community was indeed a Great Romance;
3. Creating extra-ordinary benefits to ADBEMC members was Our
Greatest Achievement during our term; and
4. Appreciating the Divergence of Views in ADBEMC was our constant source of Happiness.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
nen (nothing is exceptional from a nobody)
