The Philippine Publishing House (PPH) convened its 13th Constituency Meeting on Wednesday evening at the PPH Chapel, gathering nearly 80 delegates from the Southern Asia-Pacific Division, six unions, local missions and conferences, and lay representatives. The session carried the theme “God Sustains.”
Pastor Roger O. Caderma, president of the Southern Asia-Pacific Division, presided over the proceedings, which began with the selection of the nominating committee. Committee members proceeded to the boardroom for deliberations and returned in less than three minutes, drawing surprise from delegates and PPH employees awaiting the results.
“It was probably one of the fastest elections in the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the Philippines,” said Pastor Mamerto M. Guingguing II, newly elected president of the West Central Philippine Union Mission.
Most incumbent PPH officers were returned to office, with one major change: Pastor Norberto W. Pamisa was elected vice president for marketing, succeeding Pastor Gomer D. Vistal, who retired after years of service. Pastor Pamisa previously served as director for Sabbath School, Personal Ministries, Adventist Community Services, and ADRA at the Central Philippine Union Conference.
“We are very happy for the support of our church leaders, not only for us but more for the Publishing Ministry,” said Pastor Leonardo C. Heyasa Jr., who was re-elected PPH president. “The work is great, but our God is greater.”
The newly elected officers will begin their term on January 1, 2026.
Before the constituency session, PPH dedicated its newest printing machine, a four-color Komori Lithrone GL-437 offset press. Officially named H.M.M. Sustainer, the machine symbolizes this year’s theme and reflects the organization’s continued trust in God’s guidance and provision.
