WHEREAS,

over 3,000 Filipinos in attendance;
WHEREAS, the first Global Filipino Networking Convention saw a
community of Filipinos reaching out in solidarity and oneness of
spirit; and further, that future conventions of this nature could be
the venue for the organization of an International Federation of

International Convention Center (PICC), Manila in November 2003 with a
target attendance of 4,000;
WHEREAS, the homecoming of a substantial number of these overseas
Filipinos is a positive gain in all areas, contributing to the economy,
becoming an immediate boon to the tourism and service industries,

poverty in the country, as well as in promoting and re-invigorating for
the overseas Filipinos and their families in the Philippines;
