The Real Estate Brokers Association of the Philippines (REBAP) has reached another defining milestone. For the first time in our history, members from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao gather under one roof for the National General Membership Meeting (NGMM)—a landmark event that goes beyond compliance. It is a celebration of commitment, collaboration, and community.
This inaugural NGMM is more than a meeting; it is a pagbabalik‑bahay—a homecoming. A moment to reconnect with colleagues, rebuild relationships across chapters, and renew the spirit of unity that has always anchored REBAP amidst a changing world. When members show up, participate, and stand with the Association, our collective voice grows stronger—mas malinaw, mas maririnig, mas may bigat.
From the energy sparked at the Leaders Summit to the growing participation in webinars and face‑to‑face events, the signs are clear: our members are finding their way home to REBAP once again. This NGMM is both a testament to that renewed spirit and a call to action—to be the bridge, the tulay, that makes every member feel valued, included, and seen.
As we embark on this historic day, we honor the leaders, committees, and supporters whose dedication made this gathering possible. And we recommit ourselves to the values that bind us: stewardship, service, and unity. Together, we move forward—empowered, inspired, and ready to build a stronger REBAP for generations to come.
One community. One voice. One REBAP. One Impact.

Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished members of REBAP from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao—good morning.
Today is a milestone. The very first National General Membership Meeting is not just an event on our calendar; it is a statement of who we are. Your presence here is more than compliance with a mandatory requirement—it is a commitment to the profession we uphold and the Association we proudly belong to.
This NGMM is more than a meeting. Para itong pagbabalik‑bahay. A moment to reconnect, to rebuild relationships, and to renew the spirit of collaboration that has always defined REBAP. In a world that constantly shifts, our unity becomes our anchor. When each member shows up, participates, and stands with the Association, our collective voice becomes stronger—mas malinaw, mas maririnig, mas may bigat.
Since our Leaders Summit, we have seen chapters rise with renewed energy. We’ve witnessed more members joining our webinars and face‑to‑face events. These are signs that our people are finding their way home to REBAP once again. Tayo ang tulay. Let us be the instruments that make every member feel valued, included, and seen.
To our former leaders—both Chapter and National—your wisdom remains essential. May we continue to guide our members with humility and integrity, honoring the trust placed upon us. Leadership is stewardship, and stewardship is service.
Today is also a moment of gratitude.
To the Quezon City Chapter, led by President CRB Restie Ulip and Chapter Board Chairman CRB Melchor Arcimas —thank you for welcoming us with excellence and heart.
To the National Board, under the leadership of our National President, CRB Carla Calleja—your direction continues to inspire chapters across the country.
To our 1st NGMM Chairperson, NVP CRB Lemuel Egot—your active leadership has brought this gathering to life, showing what our Board can achieve when united.
And to every working committee—your dedication, long hours, and quiet sacrifices ensure that every member experiences the very best of REBAP.
We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to our speakers, our sponsors, our guests, and the many silent supporters who work behind the scenes. Hindi man kayo laging nakikita, ramdam namin ang inyong malasakit.
As we begin this historic NGMM, may we carry with us a renewed sense of purpose. Let us reconnect. Let us collaborate. Let us recommit to the values that bind us. And together, let us move forward—unified, empowered, and ready to build a stronger REBAP for the generations to come.
Maraming salamat. May this day mark the beginning of many more milestones we will celebrate as one community, one voice, one REBAP, one IMPACT!
