LAS PIÑAS, Philippines — Two top officials of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines congratulated the Amateur Media Association of Philippine Scouts after launching their website on November 15, 2021.
BSP National President Dale B. Corvera and BSP Secretary General Rogelio S. Villa Jr. sent their congratulatory message to the Scout media group through an official letter. Both of them were amazed as the group achieved another milestone despite challenges.
It is no secret that the group has had no funding since it started, yet, they were able to launch their own website. According to its President, Win Sharm Cinco, the designers and the developers of the website are all from the inside. It is one of the proudest moments in their existence.

“I felicitate the men and women behind AMAPS as you mark another milestone in your existence despite the challenges we are facing today,” Villa said in his letter.
He also praised AMAPS that while other social media groups are downgrading, the association is upgrading. The Secretary General described this as proof that their team works to lift their movement to greater heights.
The National President also admired the teamwork of its members despite the long-distance arrangements.
“The Boy Scouts of the Philippines must be proud for your continuing efforts to provide relevant information to your fellow Scouts around the country,” Corvera wrote.
