We have what we call nice values. We also have nice cultures. So we embody these nice values, nurturing, integrity, customer obsession, excellence.
These awards testament to what the culture is about in BPI, because I don't think we'll be able to do what we do if it's not supported by senior management, our president, our group head, our segment head, so very supportive of our initiative. So we're very grateful for the recognition.
