According to Yap when interviewed before the event, “A more exciting 2022 Kiwanis ASPAC eConvention which is 2 days and after a long vacation of social gathering, it’s time to celebrate with fellow Kiwanians from other Districts. It is an honor to be the 2022 Kiwanis ASPAC Convention Chair ,  a big challenge to my committee/ team in making this event a success , a short preparation of another eConvention , that only last January we decided to have it on Virtual for the safety of the delegates, we recommended this platform because of the rising cases of Covid 19 after the holiday season though went down, we will still continue it but with a face to face “Fellowship” celebration on the night of April 2."

As per what I heard, the 3 activities under the 47th Kiwanis Asia Pacific Convention since we tapped also the team under Tag Media Group, is exceptional, flawless and organized. Our objective actually, for everyone to enjoy and at the same time to be with this Kiwanis family again in online and face to face.” - Grace Bondad Nicolas
