The second leg of the MIMAROPA ASEAN Advocacy Series goes to Romblon following the region’s soft launching in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro last month.
The advocacy aims to generate awareness and appreciation of ASEAN to enable the ordinary citizens to prepare and tap on the opportunities that ASEAN brings under the motto “One Vision, One Identity, One Community.”
A forum for college students dubbed “All about ASEAN” will be conducted on March 14 at the Odiongan Campus of Romblon State University where a Resource Person from the Philippine Information Agency will share information about ASEAN and, importantly, how the students should prepare to compete globally with the rest of southeast Asians under an integrated community.

The Romblon ASEAN Advocacy activities will be led by Director-General Harold E. Clavite of the Philippine Information Agency. (VSM/PIA-Mimaropa)
