Please be advised on the following updates to the PPSA 2016 International Conference:

1. Date, Venue and Host of the Conference
The PPSA 2016 International Conference is now scheduled on 21-22 April 2016, at the La Piazza Hotel and Convention Center in Legazpi City, Albay. Bicol University would serve as host for the Conference. The change of schedule was upon the request of our host since Legazpi City would be very congested on our original date due to the 2016 Palarong Pambansa, the annual national students' sports meet of the Philippines.

The deadline for abstract proposals for the Conference has been moved to 15 February 2016 to reflect the change on schedule.  The notification for acceptance of panel and paper proposals will be made on 7 March 2016.

3. Schedule of Fees
All participants including paper presenters and role players are required to pay the conference fee of Php 3,500.00. An early bird rate of Php 3,000.00 is available for all those who will register on or before 29 February 2016.
