2005 - Pablo P. Perez

Pablo P. Perez, Class 1955

Presidential Award for Alumni Services

Commodore Pablo P. Perez, PN (Ret.) will always be remembered for steering the RHSAAI with an uncommon wisdom, focused and dedicated to the attainment of the association’s goals. True to his naval background, he was always “full steam ahead” and “damn the torpedoes” for the past and present Board of Directors who have had the pleasure, and the “pain” of working with him. To him, it was always a race against time, not a minute to be wasted for there are so many things that still needs to be done. His almost-impossible challenges to the members of the Board can only be matched by his own determination to succeed.

Comm. Perez was president of the RHSAAI in 2003. In 2004, although formally relinquishing his duty as President, he redefined the role of the Immediate Past-President and actively participated in the affairs of the association. Despite knowing the difficulties, he did not shy away from the challenged when he was asked to Chair the Preparatory Committee for the proposed RHS Alumni Foundation. He took it upon himself to research on, study, conceptualize and sought the ideas and concerns of all sectors of the association. He is indeed faithful to the saying “Old soldiers never retire, they just keep on going, and going, and going…”
