Last July 16, 2005 in Maryknoll Baguio, UGAT Foundation conducted a forum entitled "Bagong Pag-asa para sa Bansa: Isang Bahaginan ng mga Nagmamalasakit sa Bayan" The forum was attended by some 28 participants, representing different sectors of society.
The Forum was envisioned with the country's crisis in leadership in mind. Through a consultative discussion, it is hoped that the foundation can raise both consciousness on the country's situation , but more importantly, spread the message that there is still HOPE despite the crisis.
To concretize this hope, the organizers invited Gawad Geny Lopez Jr's Bayaning Pilipino awardees from Baguio to share their inspiring stories of how they have successfully served in their local despite the many challenges that discourages many of our country's potential "heroes."
For this Baguio seminars, sharers include: Aurelia Lopena and Sr. Beth Mamangko of MOFAMCO. Also present were Narciso Garcia and Gerry Gamez of the Samahang Bayaning Pilipino.
This forum is a reecho of similar endeavors conducted in Quezon City, Dumaguete City and Iligan City.
