Certainly, the delegates have enjoyed and appreciated the warm accommodations and excellent hosting. To all the host LOMs, Conference Chairmen and Directors, you deserve a standing ovation!!!
Yours truly, having been appointed by our National President during the height of the Areacon events to serve the remaining term as NSG, let me render a brief report on what transpired during the simultaneous Conferences:
AREA I - Area I Conference - “Feel the Difference - Be Better” was the theme for Area One Conference. Held at the grandiose Century Resort Hotel in Angeles City, hosted by the JCI Angeles Culiat, the Conference was chaired by NEVP Glenn G. So with the able help of Conference Director Neki Liwanag and host LOM Pres. Jean Mandap and attended by almost 200 delegates from Ilocandia, Northern Luzon, Cagayan Valley and Central Luzon regions. The said affair will be remembered for its outstanding seminars, sports activities, fellowship and colorful awarding ceremonies.
AREA 2 -Metro Area Conference - “Be Better” was also adapted as this year’s theme for Area Two Conference. Hosted by JCI Pateros Balut, it was held at the Club Manila East Resort in Taytay, Rizal.

The grand fellowship night was held at the Club Octane, Regency Inn where the delegates were entertained with party performers.
Once again, the JCIP Secretariat, in behalf of the 2007 National Board, sincerely congratulates those personalities responsible in making all the events possible.
Likewise, much applause is given to the members and LOMs who placed their bids and bagged the Areacon Awards. The Natcon Awards are still at stake, therefore, we encourage you to bring your bids to that higher spot.
With the conclusion of the Area Conferences comes the outcome of the JCIP national elections. To those elected, our congratulations! By the vote of the members comes their expectation that as their forthcoming national officers they can rest assured that the future of this organization is safe and sound. This is your chance not to disappoint them by carrying out the duties and responsibilities attached to your respective positions with much enthusiasm and assiduousness. To those who did not make it to the race, there will still be another chance, a chance to prove that you are also worth their trust maybe by helping the organization though you’re not holding any position.
Our active involvement in this year’s activities only showed our unequivocal support to this year’s administration. As we approach the finish line, let us continue showing the world, we have become BETTER every way, everyday!
Looking forward to seeing you in the Cebu Natcon!
At your service,
