25 June 2017  TO:           CEAP SCHOOL HEADS AND SUPERINTENDENTS  RE:           2nd NOTICE OF THE 2017 CEAP NATIONAL CONVENTION

 Greetings of Peace!

Last March, the National Office sent to you the 1st Notice for the 2017 CEAP National Convention which the CEAP Board of Trustees has scheduled from September 27 to September 29, 2017 (Wednesday to  Friday)  at the  SMX Convention Center, Lanang, Davao City. For this year, our theme is:  Communio: Building and Sustaining Communities for Life.

We send you now the 2nd Notice.  You may notice that the National Convention Programme now differs from the one we sent earlier.  After an emergency meeting of the Executive Committee last June 1, 2017, the new Programme responds to the current situation in Mindanao: the attack by ISIS-oriented militants on the predominantly Muslim people of Marawi, their violent intrusion into the homes and work spaces of peace loving people, their attack on religious freedom, and the consequent imposition by President Duterte of martial law throughout Mindanao-Sulu. The Executive Committee did not judge that the current Mindanao situation was warrant to withdraw from Mindanao, but reason to further engage it - in the undying hope of the Kingdom of God.  A suggestion that we might move the venue away from Davao was rejected.  Focused on Christian Communio, the Executive Committee discerned that now is the time to live this Communio prophetically with our sister and brother Muslims in Mindanao by keeping our National Convention in Davao.We have therefore included in our Convention a reading today of the situation in Mindanao in order to help us discern what an appropriate response of our 1,500 CEAP schools – where Catholic diocesan and congregational schools work together - might be, even as we continue to deepen our understanding of the Philippine Catholic School Standards (PCSS). As we delve deeper into our identity as Catholic Schools in the Philippines on our 75th anniversary, we acknowledge our responsibility to better serve our brothers and sisters on the periphery. The Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao continues to suffer from the worst poverty in the Philippines and the worst educational delivery.  What positive projects – short and long term – might we embark on there to evidence our Communio, our respect, concern and love for the Muslim communities of the Philippines?

While we cannot rule out risk, we assure you that special precautions are being made to ensure your safety as delegates. We are coordinating with the local government of Davao as well the Philippine National Police to optimize our security for this convention. But we trust ultimately in the providence of the Lord.

Enclosed are some convention details, specifically: (a) Programme of the Membership Meeting on  September 26, 2017, (b) 2017 CEAP National Convention Guidelines, (c) Letter to school heads on the Convention Souvenir Programme, (d) Updated 2017 National Convention Programme, among others.

Note that for this year, the  CEAP Annual Membership Meeting  will be held on  September 26, 2017  (Tuesday) also at the SMX Convention Center, Lanang, Davao City. All superintendents, school heads and official representatives are expected to attend this meeting.

Also, note that the Annual CEAP Superintendents’ Assembly will be on September 24 – 26, 2017 at the Pinnacle Hotel (tentative), Davao City. It shall close at lunchtime of September 26 to allow the superintendents to attend the Annual Membership Meeting.

As usual, we will have an  Educators’ Exhibit  that displays educational products and services on  September 26 – September 29, 2017 at the Pre-function Lobby of the SMX Convention Center and SM Lanang Activity Center, Davao City.

Please also note that  we have simplified the requirements for registration.  Register early to avail of discounted registration fees and to enable convention organizers to finalize food and venue arrangements and the preparation of convention kits and materials.

Please pay the Registration Fee using the bills payment slip indicating your school reference ID number that we have previously sent you in the space for the SUBSCRIBER’s ACCOUNT NUMBER. Please write the name of your school in the space for SUBSCRIBER’s NAME. Should you need assistance please call (02) 376-6673 or email  info@ceap.org.ph.

B. WEARING OF IDs

1. The delegates must wear their convention IDs at all times during the convention for security reasons.

The convention organizers shall not be responsible for the loss or destruction of delegates’ properties. 2. Because the convention bags are uniform and look the same, the delegates are advised to put identification tags or markers on their bags so that these can be easily identified and claimed by the owners in case of loss or misplacement. Finders of lost objects are requested to turn over the same to the Secretariat stationed at the Information Desk, Pre-function Lobby, SMX Convention Center, so that proper action will be made.
