MESSAGE
DR. ROSALINA J. ORA’A-FUENTES
Panel Discussion Member / Facilitator
Dr. Rosalina J. Ora’a-Fuentes is the President of the Southeast Asia

Currently, she is a Managing Partner/Senior Trainer & Facilitator at

Consulting; and CEO of SOPHIA. As an Instructional
Development Consultant with a total of 28 years of traditional academic
work (1967 –1995) at the Ateneo de Naga for 15 years and at the Ateneo de

It is my happy privilege to welcome all the
participating delegates from the different higher
education institutions and partner industries in the
Region into this highly affluent community of
scholars, the Leaders’ Forum: Leading Organizations
for Productivity, which is hosted by Systems Plus
College Foundation, one of the progressive institutions
of higher learning in the Region, in tandem with
K-MAS Management Brunei Corporation and the
Commission on Higher Education Regional Office III.
What the world needs now and in the future are innovative leaders and
managers with able minds and willing hands to contribute their share in the
improvement of humanity. This Leaders’ Forum is therefore a concrete step in
the right direction.
Peter F. Drucker, a world-renown management guru and philosopher who
coined the term “knowledge worker” back in 1959 helped pioneer the paradigm
of “knowledge work productivity.” According to him, effective leadership is
not about making speeches or being liked, leadership is defined by results not
attributes. He further emphasized that management by objectives will only
work if we know the objectives. Honestly, he shared that ninety percent of the
time, we don’t.
It is therefore my fervent hope that through this forum we can be able to plan
together and immediately translate these plans into hard work so that we can
push together the wheels of progress in the Region, in particular, and the
country, in general.

MESSAGE
Systems Plus College Foundation is honored to be a
partner with K-MAS Management Brunei
Corporation and the Commission on Higher
Education (CHED) Region 3 in holding the
seminar/workshop entitled “Leaders’
Forum:
Leading Organizations for Productivity”.
Thomas Aquinas quoted, “If the highest aim of a
captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it
in port forever”. Unmindful of the risk, good
leaders are not afraid to sail so that they can reach
the direction they aim for. Good leaders are vision-oriented and are continuously
confronted with their abilities to innovate and re-engineer.
In our pursuit towards excellence in this fast changing world, it is imperative that we
steadily and continuously stimulate innovations and awareness in the industry
dynamics of our organization for advancement and leverage them in a global
context.
As the event host, let me express my most sincere appreciation to our highly
esteemed speakers, delegates and guests. This forum is not only a platform for
expansion of
competency and leadership skills but also a venue for strong
partnerships and friendships.
My congratulations go to the organizers of this important event headed by Dr. Grace
Fabros-Tyler, Director of SPCF External Relations and Development, for taking the
lead.
On behalf of SPCF, I wish for the success of all. Thank you.
