During a special meeting of the Council of Coordinators held on February 6, 2010, at the Ligaya Center, SPANKY MEER was elected to succeed Tony Panajon, to be the Senior Head Coordinator of Ligaya ng Panginoon. His term begins in July, 2010. Spanky is currently the Sector Coordinator for the South Sector.
Spanky Meer warmly acknowledges his election
The election for Senior Head Coordinator was done in accordance with the “Sector Empowerment Plan”, and synchronized with the end of the 6-year term of Kuya Tony Panajon. Overseeing the election was the special commission on elections, composed of Eli Lademora, Tony Albayda and Mau Navoa.
The other candidates that were eligible choices were Andy Juan and Melmarx Marcojos, the Sector Coordinators of the North and the Central Sectors respectively. Covenanted members had been consulted by their respective District Coordinators to gather inputs about all the candidates.
As a result of his election, Spanky will have to vacate his post as Sector Coordinator of the South Sector upon taking office as Senior Head Coordinator, and his replacement in the South Sector will have to be elected anew by the Sector’s covenanted members during a forthcoming special election.
NEW STATUTES DISCUSSED AND APPROVED
During the first part of their special meeting, the Council of Coordinators discussed the proposed changes to the Statutes of Ligaya. These changes were crafted by a Statutes Revision Committee headed by Fr. Herb Schneider, SJ, Tony Panajon, Jake Yap, Beth Melchor, Willy Salvador, and Eddie Mendoza. The revisions took into consideration the changes brought about by the sector empowerment plan which came in full swing last year with the election of Sector Coordinators.
Coordinators listening to Tony Panajon and Fr. Herb elaborate a provision of the new statutes
While there were quite a number of issues that needed clarification, and that were voted upon by the body, discussions went very smoothly, and all Coordinators were satisfied with the result.
The final draft of the statutes are being prepared by the Committee for final signing by the Council of Coordinators.

Dear Randy, Mel, Pete and Linda, Lito and Finita,
THANKS for your warm greetings and prayers !!!
Randy, the moment i read your message, i missed you and Cynthia immediately. All the wonderful memories when we were in the same MWG for years flashed thru my mind.
Mel, you still playing basketball ? I remember fondly the LNP games in the ’80s. I so admired your skill and speed, kayo nina Andy, Popoy delR, even DodieN and many others. How is the family? Growing in number?
Pete, Linda, Lito & Finita,…Glendale and NY are not exactly around the corner but nowadays, who knows ? Anahaim’s Disney is nearby and Apples and i have 4 apos. NY ? Our steak restaurants here in Mla. and Subic might require us one day to sample beef from Fr. Herb’s favorite resto in the area…God’s timing is always perfect, right?!!
Be well always, guys ! Love you all !!!
Spanky
I toast to your servanthood!Another wonderful and exciting page in your life is unfolding. I have a colorful and meaningful memories under your leadership since South B was formed. Respectability,character and humility runs deep in your veins. Holding the bull by the horn which leadership like Simon Peter exudes has shown in your DNA. I see 3 star respectability in you. People respect you because they admire you, love you and follow you. Leadership sometimes causes strained relationship, but confronted by this, you easily humble yourself and ask forgiveness and reconciliation. Humility is the hallmark of your leadership not achievement. Truly you are cut out to be a fisher of men. Keep on fishing Spanky!!!- a warm brotherly love, Randy.
Congratulations and best wishes on your new role, Kuya Spanky. I have been away from Ligaya for 4 years now but I have always sensed that you will be the one to succeed Kuya Tony.
Mabuhay ka, Mabuhay kayong lahat!

To Tony Panajon,
Maraming salamat po sa mga taong ipinalingkod mo sa ating Panginoon. May the Lord continue to prosper you and bless you onward. God bless
To Spanky,
Congratulations and may you continue to lead us to where the Lord will bring our community according to His plan. Though we have migrated to the US our hearts are still Ligaya ng Panginoon. Our fist Saturday group here continue to live the LNP way of life as a fraternal group.
Visit us in NY should the Lord bring you here.
From your LNP Brothers and Sisters in NY
Live Jesus in our Hearts. Forever.
Thanks, Jun.
I think it was St. Agustine who said : ” God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.”
Pls continue praying for our leaders. We truly need it and appreciate it.
Peace and blessings always !
Spanky
Congratulations Kuya Spanky for your commitment in accepting the service. May God bless you with wisdom, love and generosity as you lead us to God’s call. We are one with you as we move forward in Ligaya’s mission to the world.
Thank you, too, Kuya Tony for your sacrifice and leadership. We honor you for everything that you have done for the community. Whatever God may call you to do next, our prayers and support will always be with you.
May we all take on the mantle of a missionary as we give more to the Lord!
Thank you Jun, we serve as we are called. Promptly responding and obediently following. Serving the Community and its members is part of the journey God had charted for me.
I am confident Spanky has been called for a purpose that is important to the Lord at this time.
