The National Meeting and National Consultation on the UPS Convention were convened at the Riverside Function Room of the Punta Beach Resort with regular UPS representatives from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. The National Vice-President Ysmael Prosperoso facilitated the Meetings upon request of the National President and the National Treasurer.

The National President and the National Treasurer, fixed and subsequently scheduled the Meeting on April 16 (despite information that the NCR-Luzon Interim Organization had previously scheduled and to convene on that day a pre-Convention in which the UPS Vice-President for Mindanao and the Secretary General were scheduled to attend per official invitation). The President Sammy Pundogar even instructed the Secretary General to prepare notices of the Meeting to be sent to the said Officers with the agenda and authorizing the Secretary General to sign the letters for and his behalf.

Despite the scheduled Meeting, the President, the National Treasurer and some other officers were not able to come because of some urgent and situations beyond their control. The National President said he cannot come without giving specific reasons. The National Treasurer called that he had an unexpected meeting in Davao City. However, in earlier phone conversations with these National Officials, they subsequently declared to support and abide with what ever decisions the group will approve in this Consultation Meeting hosted by the Iloilo Upsilonians.

The Executive Vice-President Gestuvio also who was in Capiz at the time called up to say of his abiding with the results of the National Meeting. Brod Noel Bagnol, the National Business Manager, also called up that he was about to fly to Iloilo City for the Meeting, but an urgent legal hearing that cropped up he has to attend to in Davao has cancelled his attendance. However, he also intimated that whatever be discussed and approved in this Meeting has all his support. The Vice-President of Mindanao, Brod Jerwin Boyoro, who opted to attend to the NCR-Luzon Pre-Convention Meeting in Los Banos, Laguna, also told the Secretary General that he will abide with the official approved results of this National Meeting. The group has to continue with the National Consultation Meeting regardless of the absence of some National Officers considering that the 3 main regions of the country and the host Chapter were necessarily represented.
