Dear Friends

The call of MINDANAO beckons as we host the 2023 POGS Midyear Convention here in Cagayan de Oro. It is with enthusiasm and gladness in our hearts that we warmly welcome you to this celebration of women empowerment.

Team  MYC POGS 10 has been unceasingly working to ensure a convention that showcases Mindanao culture at its best, through the captivating and exciting social events, and at the same time, offering a conglomerate of topics and issues that will stimulate discussion of the full spectrum of the physical, social, and environmental factors that a woman  goes through in her journey from adolescence to her golden years.

Time and again, POGS 10 has faced challenges and difficulties even embarking on the preparation of a midyear convention on two occasions, which were derailed by the Marawi siege and the Pandemic. Yet true grit and resiliency, as well as with the protection, guidance, and grace from God, we are now in the throes of a face to face convention

So come and be with us! Enjoy the many attractions of the City of Golden Friendship and Northern Mindanao, and be ready to break boundaries and unite diverse cultures through a gathering that goes beyond the medical frontier. 

See you at the 2023 POGS MYC!  See you in Cagayan de Oro!
