In an emotional ceremony, Caja de Ahorros celebrated the commitment and loyalty of over 300 employees who have dedicated between 5 and 50 years to the banking institution. The event, led by General Manager Andrés Farrugia, took place in an atmosphere of recognition and gratitude toward those who have been key contributors to the growth of the bank and the country.
During his speech, Farrugia emphasized that “each employee is part of the living history of this bank,” highlighting that the true driving force of the institution is the people who have built it over the years with their effort and dedication. By publicly recognizing those who have devoted a significant part of their lives to Caja de Ahorros, the manager reaffirmed that the commitment of its people is what has turned the entity into a symbol of trust and hope for Panama.
The tribute honored employees with significant tenures, such as Jorge Sarmiento from Panama, who has completed 50 years of service; Emibel Burgos from Central Provinces, with 30; and Irving Saldaña from Chiriquí, who celebrated 35 years working for the institution. These personal stories were a testament to the professional and personal growth that the institution has provided to its employees.
The event also reaffirmed the fundamental values that guide the work of Caja de Ahorros: responsibility, ethics, innovation, social commitment, and customer service. According to Farrugia, these values are essential for establishing the bank as a benchmark of the Panamanian financial system.
One of the most memorable moments of the celebration was the renewed rendition of the iconic jingle “Don’t Spend It All,” performed by the Gaitán brothers, the iconic Nando Boom, and the folkloric musician Alejandro Torres. The melody not only encouraged attendees to remember the importance of saving, but also fostered a sense of unity and belonging across generations, reaffirming a message that has endured over time.
At the conclusion of the event, Andrés Farrugia invited everyone present to remember the principles of prudence and responsibility that have always guided the institution. With this tribute, Caja de Ahorros demonstrates its commitment to building an organizational culture that values and recognizes human talent, its greatest strength in day-to-day operations.
