Filipinas standouts to be one of the few organizations that have obviously defied the challenges and adversities that stood its way and eventually emerged victorious that paved the way to reach its golden anniversary. I wish to express my gratitude to the organizers and pioneers of this organization for their enthusiasm and fervor to have initiated the creation of this organization. Indeed, through your determination and fortitude as well as through the efforts of members from the different countries, GUMIL Filipinas flourished around the world. This phenomenon is a candid manifestation of the good image of the organization as well as the excellent rapport of the members comprising the entire organization.

The theme of our Golden Anniversary which says “Nabalitokan a Dawa, Narangpaya a Literatura” is a strong statement of commitment to uphold the mission and vision of GUMIL Filipinas which is the perpetuation, broadcasting and showcasing of Ilokano literature. I appreciate very much all the members of GUMIL Filipinas for solidly working hard for the immortalization of Ilokano Literature including its culture and tradition by sharing the thoughts and importance of preservation of such to the next generation. I salute your sincere dedication and enthusiasm for making GUMIL Filipinas dynamic even in this modernized and sophisticated era.
