First of all, let me congratulate MAHLAP or the Medical and Health Librarian's Association of the Philippines for celebrating its 20th year anniversary.
MAHLAP was born from a seminar-workshop on ""Current Management Trends for Health Care Libraries," Cebu, 3-7 November 1986. This seminar was sponsored by the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD) under DOST and the British Council (BC). The participants from the said seminar suggested to have a national group for medical and health librarians. In 1988, it was official and registered as a non-stock non-profit organization.
This year marks the 20th year of MAHLAP's anniversary and everybody is encouraged to participate in its annual conference.

When: February 28-29, 2008
Where: Hotel Kimberly, Pedro Gil street, Manila, Philippines http://www.hotelkimberly.com/
