Accommodation under the All-In Package is based on triple sharing.

Delegates are strongly encouraged to embrace the shared room arrangement as part of the Convention experience. Beyond helping maximize available accommodations for our delegates, shared rooms provide another opportunity for fellowship and community throughout our four-day gathering.

Requests for alternative room arrangements, including two-person occupancy, may be submitted to the Convention Committee but will be subject to hotel availability, approval, and any applicable additional charges.

Delegates with specific accommodation requirements are encouraged to indicate these during registration so the committee can assess requests as early as possible.

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 and fellowship - One Flock. One Faith.

Yes. Delegates who prefer to arrange their own accommodation may register under the ₱13,000 Stay-Out Package.

Stay-Out delegates will still receive:

• Access to Convention venues and programs

• Convention meals on May 7–8, including snacks, lunch, and managed buffet dinner

• May 6 fellowship lunch at CSA Audi Gym

• Convention Kit

However, Stay-Out delegates are responsible for arranging and paying for their own accommodation and transportation to and from Convention activities.

Delegates who prefer the convenience of having their accommodation and designated Convention transportation arranged for them are encouraged to select the ₱20,000 All-In Package. 

Yes. Delegates who do not require Convention-provided accommodation may choose the ₱13,000 Stay-Out Package.

The Stay-Out Package provides access to the Convention venue and programs, Convention meals on May 7–8, the May 6 fellowship lunch at CSA Audi Gym, and the Convention Kit.

Accommodation and transportation are not included and must be arranged independently by the delegate.

No. The ₱20,000 All-In Package is offered as a complete Convention package covering four days and three nights of accommodation together with the other stated inclusions.

If an All-In delegate chooses not to use the hotel accommodation for one or more nights, the unused accommodation cannot be deducted from or refunded against the package price.

Delegates who know in advance that they will not require Convention-provided accommodation are encouraged to select the ₱13,000 Stay-Out Package instead.

Yes.

For delegates registered under the ₱20,000 All-In Package, tourist bus transportation is already included for the designated arrival and departure routes:

May 6, 2027

Airport Terminals → Biñan → Taal Vista Hotel

May 9, 2027

Taal Vista Hotel → Airport Terminals

Delegates under the ₱13,000 Stay-Out Package may also avail of the same transportation service as an optional add-on for ₱1,500 per person per day.

Stay-Out delegates may avail of the Convention's designated arrival and departure transportation for an additional ₱1,500 per person per day.

The transportation add-on covers:

May 6, 2027

Airport Terminals → Biñan → Taal Vista Hotel

May 9, 2027

Taal Vista Hotel → Airport Terminals

This transportation service is optional for Stay-Out delegates. Those who do not avail of the add-on will be responsible for arranging their own transportation.

Convention transportation will serve designated airport terminals for the arrival and departure transfers.

On May 6, delegates will be picked up from the designated airport terminals, transported to Biñan for the opening activities, and then brought to Taal Vista Hotel.

On May 9, delegates will be transported from Taal Vista Hotel back to the designated airport terminals.

Specific terminal locations, assembly points, departure times, and bus assignments will be announced closer to the Convention.

The transportation included in the All-In Package - and available as an optional add-on for Stay-Out delegates - specifically covers the designated transfers on May 6 and May 9.

Any transportation required as part of the official Convention program will be communicated separately once the final program and logistics arrangements are confirmed.

Final transportation schedules, assembly points, and bus assignments will be announced closer to the Convention once delegate registrations and travel information have been consolidated.

The August 31, 2026 registration deadline will help the Convention Committee determine transportation requirements and begin finalizing logistical arrangements.

Delegates are encouraged to provide complete and accurate travel information when requested.

Early registration helps the Convention Committee determine passenger requirements, coordinate bus assignments, establish practical schedules, and prepare for delegate arrivals and departures.

Delegates are encouraged to complete their registration on or before August 31, 2026 so the committee can plan transportation and other logistical requirements efficiently.

No.

The ₱20,000 All-In Package and ₱13,000 Stay-Out Package have already been 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.

Early registration allows the Convention Committee to:

• Confirm hotel accommodations

• Finalize transportation routes

• Plan meals and venue requirements

• Prepare convention kits and materials

• Improve overall delegate experience

• Ensure smooth event operations

The earlier delegates register, the better the committee can prepare for everyone.

Once the official registration form and ₱5,000 initial registration payment have been received and confirmed, delegates will receive further information and updates as Convention preparations progress.

These may include:

• Payment confirmations and balance reminders

• Accommodation and room assignments for All-In delegates

• Transportation details and schedules

• Convention program and schedule updates

• Arrival and departure instructions

• Delegate reminders and important announcements

The remaining balance for the selected Convention package must be fully settled on or before November 30, 2026.

Convention 2027 offers two package options to provide delegates with greater flexibility while ensuring that everyone can participate meaningfully in the Convention.

The ₱20,000 All-In Package is designed for delegates who prefer a more seamless experience, with accommodation and designated arrival and departure transportation already arranged.

The ₱13,000 Stay-Out Package is available for delegates who prefer to arrange their own accommodation and transportation while still participating in the Convention programs, meals, and shared experiences included in their package.

Whichever option a delegate chooses, everyone gathers as part of the same Cofradia family and shares in the heart of the Convention experience.

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.
