In a meaningful gathering of HR and business leaders, the People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP) President Gilbert Camasura, FPM, MBA, brought an energizing message of gratitude, unity, and purpose as he joined the induction of the newly elected officers of the PMAP Dumaguete Chapter, led by Chapter President Ysabelita “Bing” R. Emperado.
Camasura paid tribute to the chapter’s leaders for continuing to carry the torch of leadership with passion, commitment, and heart. He praised their unwavering dedication to keeping the PMAP spirit alive in Dumaguete and for creating a space where people’s leadership continues to flourish.
In his message, Camasura emphasized the power of community-building as a game-changing force in shaping the future of people management. He encouraged leaders to cultivate a chapter culture that sparks collaboration among member companies and individuals; one that opens doors for shared learning, stronger partnerships, and collective growth.
He further called on the Dumaguete leadership community to meet today’s challenges with grit, resilience, and bold optimism. In a time marked by rapid change and uncertainty, he reminded everyone that true leadership is not measured by the absence of challenges, but by the courage to rise above them and transform them into opportunities for impact.
For Camasura, the Dumaguete chapter, under the leadership of President Ysabelita “Bing” R. Emperado, stands as a shining example of what is possible when leaders choose to connect, collaborate, and lead with purpose. As the newly inducted officers began their journey, his message resonated clearly: the future of HR is stronger when leaders build communities that uplift, inspire, and move forward together.
