The seminar was opened with a prayer and the Philippine National Anthem. The speaker distributed pieces of papers and asked all the participants to write down their expectations and different motivations why they have chosen to waste their precious time attending the seminar instead of staying at home and relax. Everybody was excited especially when the answers were read one by one. They even tried to guess who‘s written certain ideas. Well, there was one thing that came out as common to all that is ―CURIOSITY . We were actually curious on how to acquire knowledge to become an effective leader and at the same time bring out the common interest of everyone in the community and organize profitable and developmental activities.

Feature Story: SGM Ciriaco “Cacoy” Cañete, our National Artist

There have been calls to give Nora Aunor or Dolphy the National Artist award. The National Artist of the Philippines is a title given to a Filipino who made significant contributions to the development of Philippine arts.
