The Autism Society Philippines (ASP) is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to the well-being of persons on the autism spectrum disorder. We envision a society where Filipinos on the spectrum become the best of their potentials -- self-reliant, independent, productive, socially-accepted citizens of an Autism-OK Philippines.

Why the ASP Dream Boys Danced in CLC

By: ASaP News Team

ASP Dream Girls made a stellar performance during the second day of the 3rd Chapter Leaders Conference (CLC), held at The Legend Villas, Mandaluyong City. They wowed the crowd with their unbelievable and powerful voices.

ASP Dream Girls Vell Barria, Thara Marie Santiago and Nica EscasiƱas each gave their best solo numbers and effectively connected with the audience. They are really incredible singers. First time witnesses were undeniably overwhelmed with their sophistication and confidence during the girl’s rendition of the Lady Gaga Medley “Poker Face, Paparazzi, and Bad Romance”. Everyone from the conference joined them in singing and dancing. Waiters who served us also stopped to watch them. While others who saw them for the first time instantly became fans.

Not to be outdone are ASP Marikina Valley’s Alex Cabason (President) ; ASP Iligan’s Rudolfo Orong (PIO); ASP Legaspi’s Abe Reblora (Secretary) and Leonard Cabbaluna (Auditor); soon to be ASP Bataan’s Randy Tallorin (Occupational Therapist); who all joined the ASP Dream Girls on center stage. They strutted, swayed and jived to their music, while the rest of the leaders clapped and cheered on. ASP Chair Emeritus dubbed them as the ASP Dream Boys, launching them to a possible new career.

The CLC is a victory celebration for the men leaders, as they are but a handful. But ASP looks forward to their magnetic personalities and passion to influence and motivate other fathers for autism advocacy.

The ASP Dream Girls showed us that no matter what life throws at us, we have to keep going. And lesson learned for mentors, not to give up on special children, but rather harness their innate talents and abilities.

The CLC is a celebration of love for children with autism, bearing challenges together, brainstorming, motivating and training leaders for a brighter tomorrow for children with autism and their families.
