ReplyDeletePREPARATIONS UNDERWAY FOR 2013 CONVERGENCE
PREPARATIONS are underway for the holding of ‘2013 Leaders and Writers Convergence,’ the biggest gathering of young leaders and writers as well as young professionals to be held at Boracay Ecovillage Resort and Convention Center on April 26-28, this year.
Bannering the theme: “Be the Change! Spark Change! (The Advocacy of Good Governance & Transparency)” the event aims to gather some 500 to 600 young leaders and writers including young professionals, teachers, and bloggers all over the archipelago.
Noel Cabobos, president of the Philippine Young Leaders & Writers Foundation (PYLWF), Inc., an advocacy organization committed to the promotion of literacy among Filipinos and in elevating the art of leadership and writing skills of the younger generation, said that the event is in line with the Foundation’s mission to provide a forum of information, support, and sharing among young leaders and writers to help them improve their craft, and in performing their role as catalysts of change and advocates on good governance and transparency.
Cabobos, who also acts as chair of the event, said the gathering is very significant because it will also serve as the launching pad of the Foundation’s scholarship grants for deserving students who aspire to continue their college education but cannot afford to do so due to financial constraints.

“The gathering will be made more significant with the participation of fellow guilders from various countries in Asia who wish to interact and network with their Philippine counterparts,” he adds.
