BEST FREE DIVING PHILIPPINES APO REEF (World's Second Largest Contiguous Reef)
Apo Reef is the largest contiguous coral reef in the Philippines, second in the world next to the Great Barrier Reef. The reef is one of the best destinations to go freediving, and I had the opportunity to check it out for myself.

In November 2017, President Donald Trump laid out America's vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific, in which all nations are independent, strong and prosperous. Spanning from the U.S. west coast to India's west coast, the Indo-Pacific region is home to the world's fastest growing markets and offers unprecedented potential to create U.S. jobs while also lifting economies and communities in Asia and around the world.
The Vision for the Indo-Pacific
The Indo-Pacific region's continued growth—and the ability of U.S. companies to compete in the region freely and fairly—is hindered by challenges which include poor governance and a lack of infrastructure. On infrastructure, the financing shortfall is massive. According to the Asian Development Bank, the region is only meeting half of what is needed on an annual basis for infrastructure investment in order to maintain growth. Eager to secure quick financing, and enabled by weak regulatory environments, governments are disregarding transparency and entering into opaque, predatory lending schemes that consequently saddle their countries with unsustainable debt, in turn compromising their country's sovereignty and progress toward self-reliance.
The United States recognizes that private investment is the only sustainable solution to the Indo-Pacific's economic and infrastructure needs. According to the Asian Development Bank, fiscal reforms could help bridge about 40 percent of Asia's infrastructure financing gap. But the remainder depends on the private sector, which would need to increase its funding by about 300 percent compared to current levels. But greater private sector engagement in the region first requires that governments create the conditions needed to unlock greater private investment, combat corruption and secure their nations' autonomy from foreign coercion.
In support of the President's vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific, the U.S. Government is advancing a whole-of-government approach focused in three areas: creating open and transparent markets to unlock private enterprise-led growth; advancing citizen-responsive governance that adheres to a rules-based order; and building a resilient network of security partners capable of addressing shared threats.
USAID's Approach to Advancing the Vision
USAID plays a leading role in advancing this vision. Together with our U.S. Government partners, and in coordination with like-minded donor partners including India, Australia, Japan, and the Republic of Korea, USAID supports new interagency initiatives and key bilateral and regional efforts focused in three primary areas: strengthening democratic systems; unlocking private enterprise-led economic growth; and improving natural resource management.

Every day, great ideas are lost simply because people are unable to present them effectively. Presentations are tied to everything that we do. In order to present our ideas effectively in order to influence decisions and outcomes, we must first be able to enhance our ability to manage ourselves, our content, and our audience.
The two-day workshop aims to provide learners the skills and knowledge in delivering an effective presentation. They will be able to build their confidence and develop their natural presentation styles as they present information and data that will increase audience understanding and engagement.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of the two-day program, the participants will be able to demonstrate confidence in connecting and engaging with their audience specifically through:
