Ceremonial Signing of Records Disposition Schedule: A Milestone in PHILGUARANTEE’s Commitment to Excellence

On December 6, 2023, the Philippine Guarantee Corporation (PHILGUARANTEE) headquarters in Makati City held a ceremonial signing of the PHILGUARANTEE Records Disposition Schedule (RDS), a momentous occasion attended by key figures from PHILGUARANTEE and the National Archives of the Philippines (NAP).

The event was graced by the presence of PHILGUARANTEE President and CEO Alberto Pascual, along with former Records Management Improvement Committee (RMIC) Chairperson, Senior Vice President Ian Briones, NAP Deputy Executive Director, Ms. Marietta Chou, and Chief Records Management Analyst, Ms. Elizabeth Eje.

The genesis of this endeavor lies in PHILGUARANTEE’s dedication to adhering to Republic Act 9470, also known as the National Archives of the Philippines Act of 2007.

Former RMIC Chairperson, Senior Vice President Ian Briones, reflected on the arduous yet fulfilling journey of the project. He emphasized the importance of establishing a robust records disposition plan for PHILGUARANTEE, especially amidst organizational changes such as the merger of PhilEXIM with other guarantee agencies and funds. Current RMIC Chairperson, Senior Vice President Isabelo Gumaru, highlighted the collaborative spirit that fueled the success of this initiative. He expressed gratitude for the training provided by NAP and underscored the importance of maintaining integrity and safety in record management.

As the ceremonial signing concluded, it symbolized not just a milestone reached, but a renewed commitment to upholding the highest standards of record keeping and administration. It laid the groundwork for future endeavors, including the digital transformation initiatives that PHILGUARANTEE aims to pursue.
