Manangs Gloria Simon and Dr. Cora Aguilar were impressive to say the least in their power point presentation of SMSS projects even if they had only a few minutes to prepare. They had to take over subject presentation since manong Rufino Bomasang had a last minute cancellation of his scheduled trip to New York. He was the main speaker and round-table-conference moderator for ASEAN [Association of South East Asian Nations] Energy Ministers and Chief Executives of Oil Exploration Corporations. He was not able to find a substitute for his roles in said ASEAN conference and together with the chance to promote funding for SMSS projects to these corporate representatives, he opted to honor his commitment to the ASEAN Business Forum. At any rate he was ably substituted by Manangs Gloria Bawa-an Simon and Cora Aguilar.
