The 46th People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP) Annual Conference, the biggest gathering of some of the best minds and the emerging thought leaders in people management, was held last September 23 to 25, 2009 at Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila in Pasay City.
The annual event is designed to tap into the unique facets of our culture and leverage on identified nuances in order to equip People Managers with the knowledge and systems to effectively engage the Filipino workforce. The event ran on four parallel tracks, each highlighting the unique insights and collective experiences of the Filipino people.
Mr. Manuel Pangilinan, Chairman of the Philippine Long Distance Corporation (PLDT) delivered the keynote address for the three-day conference. In his speech, Chairman Pangilinan identified five variables that can be potentially transformative of the country’s economic future. These include investing in businesses which offer unique to the country’s locational or resource advantages such as tourism and mining; those that are by-products of the skills exodus such as medical tourism and the retirement businesses; those that are linked to information and communications technology such as the outsourcing business; investing in infrastructure such as power plants, toll roads, seaports, and airports to lower the cost of domestic production, provide incentives for investors to locate domestically, and promote home employment; and investing in education.
The first day carried the theme, “Bayan: Framing the Context”. Mr. Oscar Sanez, Chief Executive Officer of Business Processing Association of the Philippines; Mr. Hans Leo Cacdac, Deputy Administrator of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration; and Mr. Gerard Plana, Executive Director of PMAP jointly discussed about the critical issues and challenges in managing and developing the Philippine human capital.
The second day of the conference was divided into two specialized sessions. The morning session, dubbed “Bayani: Defining the Leadership Challenge” examined the current leadership issues in relation to organizations operating in the Philippines.
The afternoon session was titled “Anihan: Mapping Practices and Point of Views” where participants attended satellite conferences focused on talent management, performance management, industrial relations, training and development, leadership, and people management in SMEs.
The last day, “Ani: New Frameworks and Prescriptions” proposed alternative perspective on People Management. During the event, notable personalities identified and presented the results and point of views derived from the satellite conferences.
The event was concluded with PMAP giving the Employer of the Year Awards, People Manager of the Year, and People Program of the Year awards.
