FPCAP - What's this?

On March 14, 2008 I shall be speaking before a small band of Counselors who're into something the Catholic Church is very passionate about. They have been and continue to be with us at IPCAP or Integrated Professional Counselors Association of the Philippines (IPCAP), Inc. representing the area of Family and Pastoral Counseling. I have read a letter by the PRB Chair allowing them to apply for the Grandfather's Clause. Hence, they have submitted their papers for SEC registration and in due time shall announce the formal opening of the organization that I believe hopes to promote the area of their expertise for the good of our families here in the Philippines. The group is called Family and Pastoral Counseling Association of the Philippines or FPCAP.

It is surely high time for such an organization to come up because we need to sustain this "trade" which we have been into these many years. Thanks to RA 9258, Counselors who practice in this area can be acknowledged. The field is so full of promises in terms of growing in understanding about the family and pastoral situation in the Philippines. I pray the group succeeds in its vision and mission so that we can grow as a people and as a nation, and most of all as a Christian Catholic community living in families that are mentally healthy and supportive of each other, either as couples or as parent-child or among siblings.

I shall keep this matter posted here in the coming days, and particularly my "talk" there. Stay tuned! God bless
