The reorganized board now comprises Jon Ramon Aboitiz as Rafi president and chairman of the board, Mikel Alberto Aboitiz as Rafi vice president and Ma. Cristina “Marian” Aboitiz as Rafi board member.

“I am honored to be given this opportunity to lead the entire Rafi organization in paddling our oars (bugsay), to keep the legacy of Ramon Aboitiz alive. It is a legacy of caring, sharing and serving that goes back a century ago, and which we will take further in pursuit of our mission of touching people and shaping the future,” Jon Ramon said.
