The three-day conference started Friday night with Lanao del Norte Governor Imelda Dimaporo welcoming the delegates.

Enjoy the hospitality of the people of Lanao and we hope that you will have a great time here in Lanao," Dimaporo said.
After the welcome ceremonies, the event kicked off with the praise parade, praisefest led by Mike Serapio and the SFC Davao band, and the fusion night.
