PBB (Pilipino sa Bansang Bahrain) MILESTONES... This is our Story. This is our Journey...

PIlipino sa Bansang Bahrain sprung out from Balitang Pinoy sa Bahrain for the reason that BPsP intentionally call themselves as KULETS while others have different mode of personality and goals of joining could not fit into the established kind of bonding. Having shared each other's thought the AIM of empowering the KABABAYANs was formed and they called themselves Pilipino sa Bansang BAhrain(PBB). Now PBB and BPsP become complementary to each other being under one umbrella of Filipino Club in Bahrain.
That is actually the beauty of PBB - What seems to be the common thread is the commitment to making a difference – it’s the small stuff, the simple actions every PBB member takes, - the kind words we say to one person at a time every day; the spirit of genuine generosity, the keeping of the feet on the ground, the practice of honorable lifestyle, the recognizable excellence in the workplace, and the respect for all faith, race, gender and ethnicity that should distinguish a Filipino worker from other expatriates working in Bahrain. PBB simply would like to be a morally uplifting influence to every fellow Filipino, to every OFW in Bahrain. 
PBB FB page was created by Noel Porciuncula. Members all adhere to the formulated PBB Code of Ethics and online behaviour. "Dahil Pinoy ka Angat" ka tag line came about in one of the comment threads member Prima Stella Luz Refe posted. At that time, it was not something imposed or proposed but then, it embodies the advocacy of all PBB members - empowering Filipinos in Bahrain & the commitment to making a difference.. .. (no crab mentality).  
Slowly & eventually this tag line was readily adopted by many members. More tag lines are now being used e.g. Sa PBB Ikaw ang Bida; Be involved. Be PBB; Be heard Be PBB (on Twitter); PBB - empowering Filipinos in Bahrain; PBB - committed to making a difference - are just a few  - that slowly evolved and gradually developed. Several projects were lined up as the set of administrators met and GREAT IDEAS started pouring in in those meetings. Yukki gestopa Canete then commented that DAHIL PINOY KA ANGAT KA would be great on a T-shirt. That validated one of the many ideas conceived then.; the PBB Tshirt; so PBB's very first project was the PBB T-shirt design competition. Randy won the contest and several other design entry are going to be published and sold on a seasonal basis so to honor every contestant's winning design. 
Simultaneously Radio JJ spearheaded by John Bituin went on air playing Filipino music and playing the tag line Dahil Pino ka Angat ka. The idea of coming up of having a Radio Magazine talk show was conceived - featuring and highlighting GREAT OVERSEAS FILIPINO WORKERS in Bahrain - on air or in print (this is work in progress).  Seeing the need to kick off PBB with a great leadership, ka-PBB, Luz Refe offered to facilitate a Leadership Training & Workshop to equip & empower page administrators of their role. The initial idea of conducting the workshop only to FB PBB page administrators was eventually changed so that every Bahrain based OFW would have the opportunity to  benefit from the program. It became a full blown project. Members supported, donated and attended to making it a reality. The workshop was held on 3 Fridays of September under the patronage of Her Excellency Ambassador Maria Corazon Yap Bahjin -which has truly embodied the Dahil PInoy ka Angat ka catchphrase or tag line. HE Ambassador Maria Corazon Yap Bahjin herself awarded the certificates to 48 participants. This was included in the Philippine Embassy report to DFA. 
After the leadership workshop, a new set of highly committed administrators arose and the administrative seats were revamped. PBB has a twitter account @TweetsngPBB. Kasambahay Values & Skills Formation is spearheaded by ka PBB Rosemarie Hernandez in collaboration with OWWA Welfare Office Madam Norma del Rosario & HE Ambassador Bahjin. Halloween Party is spearheaded by ka-PBB Chris Adarve (featuring PBB's Got Talent just for fun. Dahil PInoy ka Ikaw ang Bida) 

The following ideas are conceived and are now work in progress
Clean up drive. Be involved. Be PBB. Radio JJ radio magazine talk show highlighting success stories of kapwa OFW - which should serve an inspiration to many. (This could also be in print where we feature YOUR STORY to inspire others - Tanghalan ng Dakilang OFW The idea of Customer Service Training was thought of during the collaboration meeting of PBB Administrators with Welfare Officer Norma del Rosario PBB Oath, PBB Song or jingle are in progress PBB Mini Olympics  PBB Support Filipino businesses and entrepreneurs. Ka PBB partner sa kabuhayan.

We are on a journey and we are taking our steps little by little... PBB is a WORK in PROGRESS and constantly aiming higher to be better OFWs - better partners, better people, better Filipinos. PInoy, Angat ka! !
