IPCAP 2nd National Convention

This is just to announce that IPCAP will be holding its 2nd National Convention and 1st General membership meeting this coming April 14-16, 2010 (Wednesday-Thursday-Friday) at the University of the East, Recto Ave, Manila Please keep tab here in the coming days when we will publish our formal invite. The theme is related to the many roles of the Guidance Counselor in our Society wherever we are. We have ready 6 workshops from which each participant may attend two workshops. We shall be making this event one for CPE accreditation good for at least 20 hours of credit units (CU).

Meanwhile, there shall be published here in the coming days as well the often heard but never-read written PRC Guidelines for conducting CPE as well as crediting CPE units. IPCAP has always been of the spirit of transparency, making every Registered Guidance Counselors aware and knowledgeable about the documents related to our profession (so we don't end up feeling duped or swindled of our hard-earned money, something we would not want to waste on organizational expenses that lead to nowhere) but focused on the development of the Guidance and Counseling profession and its practitioners. Rest assured we at IPCAP only want us to advocate for the erasure of corruption in our midst by printing here what we must know so we end up happy and satisfied, competent and confident in our work wherever we are.

Also in the next few days, we shall also be publishing here the list of active IPCAP members.

Yes, by the way, please go to your city or municipal hall and pay your PTR (professional tax receipt) at the Treasurer's Office. In Quezon CIty, we were made to pay for P300 per year (payable on January of every year). There were some of us who didn't pay their PTRs in the year/s following the release of their PRC ID and were penalized with paying that unpaid year/s plus penalties. Likewise, we realized that the PTR in the provinces appears to be lower - one RGC reported that P150 was paid, not P300. I bet we believe the government deserves our tax with the many needs it can provide with our taxes. Di po me sipsip hehe. Just doing our moral obligation to the state. Of course we do our part as well to expose what must be exposed so we have updates of our situation and reduce, if we cannot easily erase the evil in our midst that impoverishes us.

Yan na muna. God bless and take care
