Thank You

In behalf of the PLAI-STRLC National Conference Organizing Committee, we would like to say thank you to all our resource speakers, exhibitors, product presentors and most especially to all the participants from the provinces of Batangas, Cavite, Laguna, Mindoro, Quezon, Rizal and the participant coming from Manila, Cebu, Nueva Vizcaya, Pampanga for the support extended, camaraderie, exchanges of ideas and best practices, among others.

Truly, the recently concluded National Conference live up to its history of the being conducted in the midst of   typhoon before, during or after the conference. It is even more challenging to the Organizing Committee due to the recent flooding of Metro Manila and nearby provinces continuously for a week that even during the conference the torrential rains continued but thankfully most of the resource speakers are able to come ahead of their scheduled time.
