APOSETAAA IN TACLOBAN CITY
The APOSETAAA Board, along with Eta Chapter official delegates, converged in Tacloban City for the 34th National General Assembly to show full support to the outgoing National Presidentand 1st APO National Lady President- Eta Sis Atty. Norma Singson-De Leon, and incoming Vice Chairman, Eta Brod Fritz Sapon. .
The Opening Ceremony saw the APOSETAAA sisters resplendent in their Filipiniana attire. They took part in the procession of delegations at the beginning of the Plenary Session. The APOSETAAA delegation was led by 1st GLC Lourdes "Dessi" Quiray, who flew in from the US

The Cultural Night included the theme of tie-dye and ripped jeans, which reunited the APOSETAAA sisters with Eta Sis Sahlee Almonte, who is currently serving as President of the APO Masbate Alumni Association. It was a night for sisters to cut loose on the live performances with unrestrained dancing, community singing, and lots of picture-taking.

The formal President and Chairman's Night on Day 2 gave recognition to the very hardworking Eta sisters for their contribution during the DY 2021-2023: Sis Edna "Nana" Corpuz (National Health Committee), Sis Judy Rosario A Diño (Information and Communications Committee), Sis Carina Sumilong-Bayon (Grievance Committee), and Sis Dahlia Salamat (Committee on Audit).
Finally, Day 3 gave way to bonding with Sis Engr. Demi Anne Obediencia, a Tacloban-based Eta Sister, who recently passed the Bar Exams. She showcased the "infinite escapes" of her region, starting with a leisurely lunch at Pascualino's for some Italian dining on a quaint restaurant atop a hill overlooking San Juanico Bridge, which was then followed by a City Tour of the Leyte Landing, Romualdez Museum, and capped off by hearing Sunday Mass in Waray at the Sto Niño Shrine,
Some last-minute late night Pasalubong Shopping downtown, and an intimate fellowship at Summit Hotel's Lubi-Lubi Suite rounded off the Tacloban getaway weekend

Anticipation for the next National General Assembly in 2025 has been mounting, since it will mark the Centennial Anniversary of Alpha Phi Omega, which will be held in Davao City.

"First time ko ito maka-attend ng General Assembly!" exclaimed Davao-based Sis Pia Quiray. She added, "Mag-ipon na kayo, the experience is worth it. See you in Davao. Siguradong masaya ito!"
