BIANNUAL CONVENTIONS

“Biannual” can mean twice a year

or semiannual as when we say the

Philosophia journal appears twice

annually. It can also mean once

every two years or biennial as when

we say that PNPRS holds its

convention every two years.

The PNPRS Assembly members

meet in a convention once every

two years to elect a new set of

officers. The PNPRS Board,

however, decided that the

convention should also have paper

presenters. It was decided that at

least two and at most four papers

will be delivered during the

convention, depending upon the

time and circumstances. So far

PNPRS has held four conventions.

The last convention was very

significant as it ushered in a new

era in the reorganization of PNPRS.

The new set of officers elected in

2014 are: Nicolito Gianan, Chairman

of the Board; Roland Theuas Pada,
