PnP Circular No. 2005-001

February 25, 2005

TO: ALL BISHOPS, PARISH PRIESTS, SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY PRINCIPALS/ DIRECTORS AND HEADS OF PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS/OFFICES

RE: REMITTANCE OF PnP CONTRIBUTIONS

Dear PnP Partners:

Greetings of Love and Justice!

Thank you once again for your continuous support to our PnP movement.

As mentioned in our first circular, distribution of the “crumbs” shall commence when our available funds reach 10 million. We are happy to announce that with your effort to promote our movement and to remit your contributions regularly, we have now reached our target.

The screening and approval guidelines are already being finalized; you shall be advised on how to secure your copy of these guidelines as soon as the Board of Trustees has approved them. In the meantime, we would like to appeal to all of you to please continue turning over your “crumbs” as frequently as possible so we may always have sufficient funds to support proposals for pro-poor projects and to help re-circulate the coins.

Moreover, we strongly suggest that you count your collections in your organization and deposit them in PnP bank accounts instead of bringing them to the Chancery or the Foundation Office to facilitate immediate turnover. Aside from our BPI Savings Account No. 3063-6086-52 and Metrobank Savings Account No. 3-175-50800-8, you may also deposit at any branch of Security Bank, Current Account No. 0141-026133-001. Additional accounts will be opened soon for your deposit convenience.

We trust you will give this appeal your usual favorable, kind attention.

A blessed year to all of you, I remain

Sincerely in Christ,

Archbishop Gaudencio B. Rosales, D.D.
Chairman
