    Delegates were also given the opportunity to visit the trade shows, interact and do business networking with their fellow foreign delegates. This time they were also given the opportunity to attend the different seminars offered by the JCI University as well as the other leadership seminars.  This is also to include the excellent fellowships hosted by different countries during national parties. The Congress was indeed an opportunity to explore and learn from fellow delegates how they are living with JCI mission and how they can help people in their respective communities. The 2008 JCI World Congress will be held in New Delhi, India on November next year.

A glimpse on the 59th JCI Philippines National Convention

Santos   both  held  at  the  CICC  Plenary Hall  during the 59th JCI Philippines National Convention in Cebu. 

   It's one of those perfect October evenings that make the “Queen City of the South” seem magical. There is not a cloud in the sky, and looking up from the streets, you can see stars. On the avenues, white lights speckle the trees. There is a chill in the air – just enough to hasten the occasional jitters of what was to come – and the urgent roar of the city is a reminder that Cebu at this moment may be the Rome of the Visayas. The excitement from the delegates was at a record high. Again. New anticipations are being born. It is a perfect night for an Opening Party.

     Indeed, every day for the succeeding four days, it has always been a perfect night for an Opening Party. Another year of success manifested by JCI Philippines, as JCI Cebu Incorporated – the second oldest JCI local organization in Asia – played spectacular host to this year’s 59^th JCI Philippines National Convention from October 11 to 14, 2007. Held in a world class venue the elegant and newly constructed Cebu International Convention Center located at the heart of Mandaue City, the convergence of more than a thousand young and eager delegates punctuated the nine-year drought for another Visayan-hosted conference for the national organization.  Read more..

JCI University confers first International Training Fellow from the JCI Philippines

   The year 2008 represents a milestone in the JCI Philippines history, not only because the organization is celebrating its 60th founding anniversary, but the NOM’s latest feat that is producing --- for the first time in the history of the organization--- its first ever INTERNATIONAL TRAINING FELLOW (ITF) in the person of JCI Senator REGINALD "Reggie" T. YU of JCI Manila.  ITF is the highest honor (the ultimate distinction) a TRAINER can ever receive from JCI University. An ITF becomes part of JCI University’s design team tasked in the formulation, design and development of future courses of Junior Chamber International.

   Since the JCI certification system was introduced in 1990, many of our outstanding Filipino trainers have attempted, but were unsuccessful, in being conferred with this rank. Thus, while we had so many JCI Prime  graduates, only a handful ever get to become Local, National and --- much less --- internationally-certified trainers. Therefore, a Filipino reaching the highest rank of ITF represents a rare honor, not only for his own local organization, but for our national organization. More on trainings ... Click here!
