26 June 2025 – The Associated Labor Unions-Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (ALU-TUCP) and Banco De Oro Employees Association – ALU-TUCP extend warmest greetings to BDO Unibank, Inc. President and CEO Nestor V. Tan for his election as the first Filipino president of the International Monetary Conference (IMC), which recently convened 58 leading financial institutions across 31 countries in Brussels, Belgium.
His election for the 2025–2026 term is a recognition of his leadership and competence in the global banking community as well as the position of BDO Unibank as a resilient and trustworthy financial institution in the Philippines and abroad, amid market volatilities. Such recognition is founded not only on the steady financial inflows, solid portfolio management, and professional client services of the bank, but more importantly, on the competence, hard work, and integrity of its workers, as well as the industrial harmony between the union and the firm. His new position allows him to shape global banking policies and practices of leading commercial banks, governments, and executives of global financial agencies to promote financial inclusion, shared growth, and decent work. We are in high hopes that he would also bring to the fore the essential and evolving needs of banking industry workers, including their right to self-organize and bargain collectively, and enjoy secure, safe, and dignified jobs at the time of global uncertainties and boundless possibilities for growth.
Congratulations!
