PHILIPPINE-based preacher, Bo Sanchez, started spreading the word of God at age 13. Since then, he has become an accomplished author, preacher, micro-entrepreneur and inspiration to many people in his native soil.

However, it is in touching people’s lives that Sanchez truly is known for. And last October 8, he toured Saipan to share the teachings of God, headlined by the theme: “Increase the Love in Your Family.”

Held at the Kristo Rai Parish Church, the event was made possible with the help of the Saipan Station and Tan Holdings affiliates Saipan Tribune, Fiesta Resort & Spa Saipan, Saipan Grand Hotel and Shirley’s Coffee Shop.

CTSI Logistics CEO Jerry Tan also supported the event by personally donating $100 for Sanchez’ airfare but was unfortunately not on the island to attend the concert.

Joining Sanchez was Arun Gogna, another singer/preacher, who opened the concert with his inspirational talks and songs. Sanchez, on the other hand, sang and talked about increasing the love in a family and how to find true love for single people. At the end of the event, which was attended by both Saipan locals and Filipinos, people were shedding tears and embracing each other.

“Love was really overflowing inside the church,” said Nat Angeles, CTSI Logistics IT manager.

After the concert, Angeles and other affiliate team members treated Sanchez and the group who helped organize the event, the Light and Salt Catholic Charismatic Community (LSCCC), to a barbeque dinner at the Saipan Grand Hotel beachside. Sanchez was thankful for the support of CTSI Logistics and Tan Holdings.

Echoing the Filipino preacher’s gratitude was Arcelis Zamora, LSCCC head servant. “With praise and thanksgiving to God, we are extending our deepest gratitude for your generous support for Bro. Bo Sachez's visit on Saipan,” she wrote in an email to CEO Jerry Tan and other Tan Holdings affiliates.
