You may have visited AMiCUS.PH about a couple of times. Maybe more. You may have been excited reading the posts here upon seeing them for the first time. But then a few days after, you eagerly visit AMiCUS.PH only to see the same old articles you have read days ago. So you let it pass. But then you come back after 2 weeks... 3 weeks... you still see the same posts! Now you wonder if our website is even alive, it would be a waste of time to visit. A website that doesn't even deserve attention.

Truth be told, AMiCUS.PH is REALLY in need of contributors and writers. After all, this website is designed and is being made to be a hub for all AMiCUS members- Adventist students attending non-Adventist institutions. It wasn't made to be a website used only by a sole AMiCUS chapter. It was made for every AMiCUS member to share and to inspire.

While we are seeing a quick rise of AMiCUS members in our AMiCUS.PH Facebook Page, we are also sad to see that not a single "AMiCUS member" can express desire and commitment to contribute to the website. AMiCUS.PH could be a great tool to share the good news to who knows how many. Let's take advantage of it. 

Good news!  You can now join the 2009 NPUM AMiCUS Convention and register online in TWO SIMPLE STEPS.

 Here's a walkthrough:

 STEP 1: Send your payment through GCASH REMIT

Go to a GCASH REMIT-accredited remittance partner (click here for the list of accredited outlets), fill out the partner’s remittance form, present valid ID, pay PhP700* (PhP 1500 for alumni, pastors, and faculty members) or PhP450 (partial), and receive a receipt with a REFERENCE CODE.

 

BENEFICIARY: GRETTEL MANALANSAN  BENEFICIARY's Mobile Number:  09178879267

Provide the BENEFICIARY’s mobile number to the remittance partner and we will receive an SMS notification which bears the reference code.
