True to its mission of educating the public on autism, ASP National Office – in partnership with its chapters and other institutions – is bringing the documentary film “Alyana – A Study of Autism in the Philippines” to the country’s different areas. The latest stop was the province of Pampanga.
ASP City of San Fernando Chapter, headed by chapter President Joy Ofrecia, paved the way for Alyana to visit the two universities in Pampanga.
First Stop
Alyana’s first stop was in Angeles University Foundation (AUF) on February 26. Assisting the officers of ASP City of San Fernando Chapter were Mr. Erwin Carbungco, the Director of AUF’s Office of Continuing Education and Consultancy, and the Dean of Graduate School, Bella Panlilio, Ph. D.
They also helped the chapter with preparation, auditorium reservation and ticket-selling, as well as with advertizing. The Alyana film showing at the university was also open to non-AUF students. 153 viewers were able to enjoy and learn more about autism.
ASP National President, Grace Adviento, and ASP National Vice President, Peng So, joined to support the chapter.
