The three-day event also featured leadership forums, business-relevant exhibits, inspirational sessions from respected speakers, practice discussion from industry experts, and fellowship and recreational activities.
During the first day, Mr. Renato Tanquintic of La Funeraria Paz discussed “Surviving the trials of tragedies.” Dr. Josephie Hipolito, secretariat of the Committee of Examiners for Undertakers and Embalmers (CEUE) under the Department of Health reported the updates on policies and programs of the government regarding this business.

Vicente Vosotros; “Lead, Follow, or Get Out of the Way,” by Mr. Jeffrey Kevin Chancellor; “Managing Perspective to Success” by Mr. Francis Kong, and the “Role of Mortuary Professionals in Philippine Disaster Protocol” by Dr. Raquel Fortun.
