Yes, today is the 167th year of Bank of the Philippine Islands where I used to work. It was established on August 01, 1851. It is the oldest bank in the country. The executive lounge of the bank was named 1851 Club, a high-end restaurant where important events and functions are usually held. The bank also has several function rooms on the 14th floor where training of bank staff and personnel and Wednesday masses are held.
I worked with the bank for more than twenty years and availed of an optional retirement back in 2000. I am posting same picture I posted some years back, the facade of BPI Main Building in Ayala Avenue, Makati City, the business district of Metro Manila.
I miss the daily walks going to the commercial center every noon break. I miss the daily morning masses at Greenbelt Chapel. I miss my former office mates some of whom are now officially retired too. The daily grind of somehow exhausting but fulfilling job, I miss it too.
Make the best happen! I think that’s still BPI’s official tagline.
