🏆 Celebrating Excellence, Service, and the Filipino Professionals

Yesterday, September 4, at The Manila Hotel, we witnessed a proud moment for the accounting profession as Dr. Estelita C. Aguirre was recognized as one of the Outstanding Professionals of the Year 2026 under the Business, Education, and Social Cluster – Accountancy.

It was truly inspiring to see fellow PICPA members come together to show their support and celebrate this well-deserved recognition. Dr. Aguirre’s achievement is not only a personal milestone but also a testament to the excellence, dedication, and integrity that our profession stands for.

Adding to the pride of the evening, PICPA was also recognized as one of the finalists for the Outstanding Professional Organization of the Year Award. 🎉

These recognitions remind us that excellence is not achieved overnight. It is built through years of hard work, integrity, commitment, and genuine service to others.

Congratulations, Dr. Estelita C. Aguirre, and congratulations to PICPA!

May we continue to uphold the values of our profession and inspire more CPAs to lead, serve, and make a difference.

Integrity in Practice. Trust in Service.
