MANILA—The Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) will hold its 13th National Convention of Lawyers on April 7- 9 at the Subic Bay Exhibition and Convention Center, Subic Bay Freeport Zone.

This year’s theme is “IBP: Living up to the standards of integrity and competence in the legal profession.”

The IBP calls the convention every two (2 ) years as a forum for members to meet and discuss subjects of relevance to members of the legal profession and the nation as a whole.

In line with this, Malacanang has ordered all government offices and state-owned and/or controlled corporations to authorize their lawyers to participate in the said event so long as it will not affect the functions of their offices.
