ONE PANGASINAN HAGGAI INTERNATIONAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
(OPHIAA)
FROM CPHIAA TO OPHIAA:
It was a unexpected when Ma’m Susan Chomi called me and encouraged me to reactivate our chapter last year. I ask her how to start reconnecting since two of our veteran officers were now in God’s presence. She told me to attend the 2024 Convention in Baguio and also ask me to send to Training coordinators to be trained before the convention. So I complied and sent Kristina Charisse my daughter and Joanna Aylar, one of our church workers. In that convention, I reunited with Col Sillador who is now the Chapter Development Committee chairman who keeps on calling me to pursue the revitalization of our chapter.
That started the journey to start all over again. I was the encouraged to attend also the facilitators training and thank God by God’s grace finished the training. Ate Susan also encouraged me to consolidate all the districts of Pangasinan which is now called by its New Name One Pangasinan Haggai Institute Alumni Association (OPHIAA) from the former chapter name CPHIAA. Now I think we are ready to conduct the first NS and will be scheduled by May.
