This year's Midyear Workshops of the Philippine Association for Counselor Education, Research & Supervision (PACERS) is scheduled on Sept. 4 & 5, 2008 at the Crown Plaza, Cebu City. Their theme is a carry-over of the National Convention last February 2008: "Nurturing A Research Culture in the Counseling Profession." There will be four workshops of which every participant may be able to attend two since each concurrent workshop is for a day.
For more information you may email berngu721@gmail.com or estanislaos@dlsu.edu.ph or call (02) 536-0226. For those who are applying for their license to practice Guidance & Counseling under the Grandfather's Clause of RA 9258 (please see my previous blog entry on the RA), attendance in these workshops counts as one local organization participation required primarily to get the PGCA Certificate of Good Moral Character from Dr. Lucy Bance, current PGCA Treasurer. The Grandfather's Clause will end in January 2009. Hurry while there are opportunities.
God bless and all the best to my colleagues.
