ACCOMMODATION, COMPANIONS & VENUE
🛎️ What is the accommodation arrangement for the All-In Package?
Accommodation under the ₱20,000 All-In Package is based on triple-sharing occupancy at Taal Vista Hotel for four days and three nights.
Room assignments will be coordinated by the Convention Committee based on confirmed registrations, chapter delegations, participant requirements, and hotel availability.
Delegates are encouraged to embrace shared accommodations as part of the Convention's spirit of community, fellowship, and shared journey.
One Flock. One Faith.
🛎️ Can I request to room with a specific person?
Yes. Rooming requests will be considered by the Convention Committee and will be accommodated whenever possible, subject to room availability and the final room allocation.
Since All-In accommodation is based on triple sharing, delegates are encouraged to coordinate their preferred rooming arrangements with their fellow participants early.
Final room assignments remain subject to the Convention Committee and hotel availability.
🛎️ Can couples request a room with only two occupants?
Accommodation under the ₱20,000 All-In Package is based on triple-sharing occupancy, and delegates are strongly encouraged to embrace the shared room arrangement as part of the Convention experience.
Shared accommodations foster fellowship, strengthen relationships among delegates, and help maximize the available hotel rooms for the Convention community.
Couples who prefer an exclusive two-person room may request this arrangement, subject to hotel availability and approval by the Convention Committee.
Because the room is designed and priced for three occupants, an exclusive two-person arrangement requires the delegates to cover the cost of the unused third occupancy.
For this reason, the total package cost for an exclusive two-person room is equivalent to three All-In registrations:
Delegate A: ₱20,000
Delegate B: ₱20,000
Third Occupancy / Room Space: ₱20,000
Total: ₱60,000
Requests for exclusive rooms should be indicated during registration and are subject to hotel availability and confirmation by the Convention Committee.
Delegates are strongly encouraged to consider shared accommodations as part of the fellowship and community experience of One Flock. One Faith.
🛎️ Can spouses, family members, or companions attend the Convention?
Yes. Spouses, family members, caregivers, and other companions are welcome to participate in Convention 2027.
Companions may choose between the same package options available to Convention delegates, subject to package availability and the applicable registration requirements.

CONVENTION POLICIES & ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
🤎 Why are there All-In and Stay-Out package options?
Convention 2027 offers two package options to provide delegates with greater flexibility while allowing more members of the Cofradia family to participate.
The ₱20,000 All-In Package is designed for delegates who prefer a more seamless Convention experience, with accommodation and designated arrival and departure transportation already arranged.
The ₱13,000 Stay-Out Package is designed for delegates who prefer to arrange their own accommodation and transportation while still participating in the Convention programs, meals, and shared experiences included in the package.
The All-In Package is limited to 400 participants and is subject to availability.
Whichever option a delegate chooses, everyone gathers as part of the same Cofradia family and shares in the heart of the Convention experience.
The package may be different. The journey is the same.
🤎 Will there be additional discounts based on the number of delegates?
No.
The ₱20,000 All-In Package and ₱13,000 Stay-Out Package have been carefully structured based on the Convention's venue, meals, accommodations, transportation, program requirements, and operational costs.
These rates are fixed and will not be reduced based on the final number of registered delegates.
The purpose of offering two package options is to provide greater flexibility in participation, not to create volume-based discounts.
🤎 Why is it important to register early?
Registering early helps the Convention Committee build a clearer picture of delegate participation and travel requirements.
This information helps us:
Determine transportation demand
Consolidate airport arrival information
Plan passenger requirements
Coordinate bus assignments
Establish practical routes and schedules
Prepare for delegate arrivals and departures
Registration officially opens on August 9, 2026.
The earlier delegates provide their information, the better the Convention Committee can prepare the transportation and logistical arrangements needed to serve the community.
🤎 Where can I get official Convention updates?
Official Convention announcements, registration information, program updates, transportation details, and other important notices will be released through the Convention's official communication channels.
Official Website
Official Facebook Page
facebook.com/cofradiaconvention
Delegates are encouraged to regularly check these channels and follow the official announcements to stay updated throughout the Convention journey.
🤎 What is the Convention's ultimate goal?
Beyond attendance numbers, the Convention seeks to:
Gather the flock.
Deepen faith.
Strengthen community.
Renew commitment to mission.
As devotees of the Sto. Niño, we gather not simply for an event, but for a shared encounter that strengthens our journey of faith.
We come together to pray, to learn, to celebrate, to listen, and to renew our commitment to the mission we are called to live.
Because when the Convention ends, the journey continues.
We return home renewed in faith, strengthened in community, and ready to live the mission.
