PLAI Congress 2017 Advisory

PR-BFL-CPD Council Advisory

To all CPD providers:

During an emergency meeting on Friday, 14 July 2017, we were reminded by the PRC Commissioners to inform our respective providers that you may not advertise the CPD points awarded to your programs. Interested participants may get in touch with providers directly to inquire actual number of credit units, but providers must refrain from announcing it publicly.

Thank you.

PR-BFL Advisory on CPD Providers

BFL-CPD Council Advisory

March 28 at 10:51pm 

Dear librarians,

I would like to inform you that there are programs conducted by CPD providers that are not accredited due to 1) lack of time between submission of the program for accreditation and implementation. The PRC requires 45 days lead time in approving CPD programs; and 2) Programs submitted for approval are not advanced (They are already covered in library school). In such cases, the program becomes a self-directed program which could be given points by the CPD Council upon evaluation.

May I also remind you to attend programs where you will acquire new information that will enable you to advance in your career and not just to gain CPD points. Attendees are now required to pass tests before they are given the certificate of attendance or completion. They are also monitored regarding the sessions they attended. The CPD points vary from person to person depending on their performance and attitude.

Thank you.

PLAI-STRLC 2011 Summer Conference Advisory

The convenience and safely travel of our participants who are attending the Summer Conference have been a primordial concern of the Organizing Committee. In view of this, we have prepared some guidelines on how to go to the conference venue.

If coming from Manila area (Lawton or Cubao):

1. Take a bus going to Batangas City pier, preferably those with signboard via CALABARZON so that the bus will use the STAR tollway and exit at Lipa City, reducing travel time to approximately 2 - 2.5 hours (still depends on the traffic condition of the ongoing construction at grade level of the skyway). Fare is about PhP 170.00 - 180.00.

If driving a car or car pooling, take the SLEX and then STAR tollway straight to Batangas City. To avoid the "Bats City" traffic rush, prior to entering the city proper, take a right turn to Bauan highway going to the pier.

If coming from CALABARZON area:

At Turbina, take a bus going to Batangas City pier, preferably those with signboard via CALABARZON so that the bus will use the STAR tollway and exit at Lipa City. Travel time is around 1 hour and fare is approximately PhP 100.00.

2. Once inside the Batangas pier, You will be required to pay the Terminal Fee of PhP 30.00. You have two options, Supercat or RORO. If Supercat, the fare is PhP 280-290.00 per person and travel time is only an hour. If RORO, fare is PhP 160-180.00 per person and travel time is 2-3 hours.

3. Once in Calapan Pier, ride a tricycle going to El Pueblo Rhizort (boundary of Balite & Mahal na Pangalan) and fare is PhP 50-60.00 per person. Travel time is approximately 15 minutes.

OR, coordinate with us your travel plan (date and the estimated time of departure from Bats Pier so that we could make the necessary arrangement for FREE pick up at the Calapan pier using the transport facilities of the resort. At least 5 person per pick up can be accommodated if with prior arrangement with the Organizing Committee.
