Bam had a chance to see Father President, Fr. Dionisio Cachero, OAR, before the program. Bam also had a chance to be interviewed by the Mass Comm Radyo Rekoleto.
The forum was sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Student Welfare, UNO-RSSGO, Aksyon Pamatan-on (an organization focused on youth values formation and empowerment), and Office of the Councilor Jocelle Batapa-Sigue.
