Planning the First Autism Seminar for Mountain Province.

Last July 08, 2026, I had the opportunity to meet mam Ching Kilakil, the current Principal of Mountain province SPED school. We discussed the possibility of me being their resource speaker particularly for the topic on autism awareness, care and support on July 24 at Bontoc, Mountain Province. My decision was an automatic YES! 

Months before our meeting, I was able to share my advocacy to Vice Mayor Atty Alsannyster Patingan and executive Assistant to the Mayor Ben Odsey. They gave positive responses on the municipality's support for autism awareness.  It is known that there are cases of autism in Bontoc but nobody talks about it in open. I was hoping that through this first ever gathering for autism would jumpstart the support needed. 

I was also amazed with Principal Ching Kilakil for going to possible resource speakers for her school activity. I appreciate that kind of work attitude. 

After discussing the topics to be covered, we set the date and the first autism learning seminar in Mountain Province.
