Nadia Caliz, BNTU National President
"So behind the scenes, we're working on our challenges. But I can tell the country right now: the BNTU is stronger than ever."

"That I can tell this country. There's no if, but or maybe about that. We're working with our membership. We're working with our branch leaders and their executives because we have to make certain that the re-branding of BNTU is something for this country to remember for eternity."
