Held at the AS Lobby of the Palma Hall in UP Diliman, Q.C., Gawad Metronian Educational Foundation, Inc. [GMEFI] joined the First NGO Summit last March 14 and 15 as part of the 2017 UP Annual University Job Fair [UJF]. According to the organizers, NGOs used to be amongst the exhibitors or companies. For the first time, NGOs were separated from the Job Fair. It was GMEFI’s first time as well to take part in such an activity. GMEFI E.D. Virgilio Reoma was invited to briefly talk about the importance of NGOs and how they can work with the academe, businesses and the government. He also introduced GMEFI, and its focus on having an inclusive environment. GMEFI Trustees and Staff, volunteers, and scholars participated in the two-day exhibition and mingled with other co-exhibitors. The chance to network with other NGOs is quite great in an event such as this one. Though differing in advocacies, all are geared towards improvement of our citizenry, and our country.
