Every odd year, that is to say biennially, APO chapters all across the Philippines converge upon the host city for the largest gathering of members of Alpha Phi Omega - the APO National Biennial Convention (APO NBC). While the official aspects of the event itself is meant to elect a new set of national officers to their two-year terms of office and to deliberate and decide on matters that have been tabled for discussion during the convention proper, the APO NBC is at the same time one gigantic APO fellowship that allows not just bonds to be forged between new APO friends but for old ties to be rekindled as APO alumni from across the world come home to be with their brethren during this important occasion.
Under the the mandate of Board Resolution 1719-024 issued by the National Board of Trustees, a Special Committee is tasked to organize together with National Officers and Regional Directors to plan and carry out the annual National General Assembly. Just as with the NBC, the NGA is the perfect occasion to meet APO brethren from all across the country.
