National Conference on Language and Literature: Language and Literature at the Crossroads; Teaching Terrains, Research Routes, Learning Landscapes

Wazzup Pilipinas!
          

I marked these dates, September 10, 11 and 12 as one of the most significant days of my life as an educator because I learned a lot from the different GURUS OF EDUCATION here in the Philippines. University of Philippines, College English Teachers Association, Council of Department Chairpersons for English and Primetrade Asia Inc joined forces to come up with this one of a kind conference nationwide. 

I felt so blessed because I’ve got the free slot from the newly awarded WazzupPilipinas.com as one of the Most Emerging Influential Blogs of 2013 to cover the entire event. 

In general, this event was a great success. I congratulate all the organizers of the said event for being so munificent in sharing your time, talent, skills and resources to all educators out there. 

Here are the highlights of the said event:

A site visit of Philippine projects funded by Japan through Official Development Assistance (ODA) was conducted by the Members of the House of Representatives from Councilors of the Government of Japan (GOJ) and officials from its Embassy together with representatives from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). These projects include various LRTA projects in the Philippines.
