About the Convention Venue This year, ASP will take us back to the 18th century Philippines through the nostalgic atmosphere of Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bataan, the country s first and only heritage resort by the sea. It is home to architectural pieces of a bygone era from different parts of the country that were reconstructed to become a premier convention venue with traditional houses used for hotel accommodations, restaurants and banquet facilities, including the majestic Hotel de Oriente, which will be the main site of the convention. This destination will indeed serve as an avenue for the society to uphold this year s theme of Reinforcing Foundation. Deepening Fellowship. Having Fun.
