Come April 19th -21st, we will be holding the 38th UAP National Convention at the SMX Convention Center, Seashell Drive, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City.  This year, we are anticipating close to 3000 participants and it is but prudent for all of us to make the necessary preparations for a smooth and orderly event.

On the Arkilympics. When it comes to sports, it’s the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat. We’re sure that everyone would rather experience the former. So, we are calling on all Areas to field in your most worthy athletes as we hold another Inter- area Arkilympics on April 18, 2012. It’s the same “B” sports all over again:

v  Badminton

o  Men’s Doubles (4 male players)

o  Mixed Doubles (1 male and 1 female player)

v  Basketball (12 male players)

v  Billiards (6 players, any gender)

v  Bowling (6 players, any gender)

All Areas (coordinated through the Area Vice Presidents) must submit their roster of players with their corresponding shirt sizes to Arch. Kenneth Chua, Arkilympics chairman, on or before March 30, 2012.  A Php100.00 participation fee will be charged per player.  Should you have any queries, please course them through his email address kenchph@gmail.com.

Arkilympics participants are provided with food and beverage for the whole day. Participants will also be given specifically-colored Arkilympics shirts: Area A – Orange, Area B – Blue, Area C – Green, Area D – Yellow. Please make sure that your extra shirts still correspond to your Area colors.

On Fellowship Night. Day 3’s main highlight is the much-anticipated Davies Fellowship Night entitled “Cartoon Festival 2012.” Due to the unprecedented response to last year’s Super Silver Screen Ball, we are taking it to the next level this

year with delegates coming in as their favorite cartoon character. The categories are as follows.

v   Ensemble Category: Individual chapters who wish to qualify are expected to observe the following:

o  The cartoon program should have been aired on television at least one season of at least 10 episodes;

o  Cartoon programs aired from the 20th century up to the present are qualified;

o  Groups/chapters must have a minimum of 10 characters from one single cartoon program;

o  There should be at least 4 main characters from the cartoon program, both protagonist and antagonist, e.g. He-man and Teela with Skeletor

and Beastman for the Masters of the Universe cast;

o  First Place: PhP20,000.00; Second Place: PhP10,000.00; Third Place: PhP5,000.00

v   Dynamic Duo Category: In lieu of the individual category, this will feature a

pair of cartoon characters, one “bida” and one “contra-bida.”

o  The cartoon program should have been aired on television at least one season of at least 10 episodes;

o  Cartoon programs aired from the 20th century up to the present are qualified;

o  Only the main “hero” and his main arch-enemy are accepted, e.g.

Superman and Lex Luthor;

o  First Place: PhP3,000.00 each; Second Place: PhP2,000.00 each; Third

Place: P1,000.00 each.

To ensure fairness in judging and a more orderly parade, we will require the participating groups to register their respective groups on Day 1 (April 19, 2012) of the convention. Each group will be given a priority number for the parade so that you will be given a proper introduction. Those who did not pre-register their groups will be given last priority of entry.  We will not allow unruly grandstanding.

Our researchers, in turn, will download an image of the cartoon the group chose which will be flashed on screen to guide the judges on the authenticity of your costumes. This way, judges who are not familiar with the cartoon program will be enlightened. Moreover, the theme song of the chosen cartoon will be played during the group’s entry. However, to dispel the notion of prejudice, we would welcome any submission of pictures or theme song from your part.

Any violation of the rules set by the committee will merit disqualification of the group. We expect the full cooperation and the utmost decorum of the delegates during the convention.  Thank you very much and we look forward to having you on the 38th UAP National Convention this April.
