CDR MEYNARD JOWELL BITAS PN(RES)

Commander 222nd NSR

Dear CDR BITAS,

Greetings of God’s peace be with you and those around you. Again, and again, I
would like to express my utmost gratitude to you and your whole team for your trust,
support and believe it all that our King of kings and creator have entrusted me, his humble
servant, to do, for His purpose. I pray we can do more to magnify His name.

I’m writing this letter to you to share with you another good news. Councilor
Numero “Uno” G. Lim, the Chairman of International Relations of the City of Manila have
come up with a project that will help concretize the diplomatic efforts of our country. As
part of the Reserve Force, I want to bring the importance of the reservists to the fore; and
so this, I believe should not only be something that is done by me and Councilor Lim, but
a momentous project that must be done hand in hand with the Naval Reserve Force.

We would like to seek your approval and invite you, Sir, and your team for a
courtesy call and project announcement on April 18, 2023 at 3:00PM at the Manila City
Hall, shall you and your good office, be keen in going on board in this project. Attached
herewith is the details and project brief for your reference.

Praying for your favorable response and may we continue to move as the Lord
leads us.

Maraming salamat po! Mabuhay ang kapayapaan ng Panginoon sa atin at sa lahat

ng paning ng mundo! Hiraya Manawari!

Project Brief:

As part of the initiative and efforts of the Chairman of International Affairs of the City of
Manila, Engr. Numero “Uno” G. Lim, their honorable Councilor, teams up with the Naval Reserve
Command of the Philippine Navy for an unfaltering diplomatic program that aims to strengthen
the diplomatic relations of our country with other nations. These will be forged through sharing
and educating them with our culture; done through gifting them with tangible mnemonics that
represents all that we are. These will be beautifully echoed and ingrained in the masterpieces of
Philippine Navy Ambassador for Culture and Arts, CMO2 Kristine Ann S. Lim. Though the artworks
that will be gifted to the Embassies, Government Offices, Institutions, Agencies, and Historic
Sites, in and outside the boarders of the Philippines, we all move forward with a hope that we
will be remembered as their strong, significant and irreplaceable ally.

Turn over ceremonies will also serve as a platform for exchange of cultural dialogues and
ideas that can pave way to more productive conversations that can ignite future plans, beyond
culture and arts, for the benefit and growth of parties and nations involved.

In a span of 5 years from May 2023 to May 2028, Councilor Numero “Uno” G. Lim,
together with CMO2 Kristine Ann S. Lim PN (Res), accompanied by the Commanders, Officers,
personnel and ambassadors of the Philippine Navy Naval Reserve Command, will be visiting as
many Embassies that they can here in the Philippines. The turnovers will be in conjunction to a
specific and relevant celebration that embodies the relationship of the Philippines with the
respective country.

At the same time, Councilor Numero “Uno” G. Lim, and CMO2 Kristine Ann S. Lim PN
(Res), will also do courtesy calls in Government Offices, Institutions, Agencies, and Historic Sites,
in other countries. In every visit, a masterpiece will be gifted to the hosting country or office as a
sign of our steadfast relationship with them.

The artworks will all be part of a series entitled “Bridging Horizons: Naval Diplomacy Thru
Culture and Arts”; created by CMO2 Kristine Ann S. Lim PN (Res) exclusively for this project.
