WHEREAS, the Philippines, particularly Metro Manila, has come to be known as a Convention City and, for years, has served as a great meeting ground for the peoples of the World;
WHEREAS, the Seventh General Conference together with the Thirty-Sixth and the Thirty-Seventh Administrative Board Meetings of the International Association of Universities in 1980 will be held in the Philippines on the invitation of the national government;
WHEREAS, the success of this Congress will be another milestone in our country's effort to become a leading member of the Third World in as much as the Congress will discuss development; and
WHEREAS, in order to expedite and support the development of the convention industry, there is a need to develop a "Conference Model" that will serve as basis for the operation of international conventions and show more visibly and, where possible, in a qualified manner, the benefits that accrue to and are spread out in the country's economy;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby order and instruct:
1.
The Center for Conference Model Development (CCMD) to be organized as
an instrumentality of the Fund Assistance to Private Education (FAPE)
enjoying all the benefits and privileges conferred under its charter
and to operate until December 31, 1981.
This
instrumentality will undertake the development of a "Conference Model"
that will pinpoint the direct and indirect benefits the country drives
from hosting international conventions.
Guided by the realities that
typical international organizations would usually ask for free
facilities, full hosting for officers, partial hosting for
participants, non-imposition of registration fees by the host
organization which, in turn, is required to provide funds and yet not
allowed to undertaken activities that the Conference Model will have
the following thesis:
a.
international conferences can be income-generating not only to the host
country but also to the host organization;
b. a
conference will be more valuable and economically viable if it leaves a
long-term project that will benefit the host country or several
countries; and
c. officers of
host organizations need not be bothered about details concerning the
convention.
a.
Bidding for and implementing the conference will be done in the
simplest way possible without losing the traditional mark of Philippine
hospitality;
b. The local
host organizations will still conform with the wishes of the
international association;
c. The funds
to be used for the conference will be properly treated as money
borrowed by the host organizations from the CCMD which will be jointly
responsible for recovering and repaying the conference fund before
deducting the costs of operating CCMD;
d. A long-term
project that will be based in Manila, but designed to benefit other
countries as well, will be conceptualized and founded along the theme
of the conference;
e. Promotion
of conference attendance will be an organized effort;
f. Exhibitions
will be used as a vehicle to complement the conference and to raise
funds; and
g. Key
executive and coordinating staff will be trained and employed while
committees coming from the local organization support their operations.
