The Annual Ugnayan is unity in action as TSPI clients from different communities convene in a day-long celebration of solidarity and recognition. A time of refreshing, women entrepreneurs leave their daily work routine and are given the opportunity to socially interact with clients from other localities.

This year’s theme is ”Manalangin ng Sama-sama, Pagtibayin Ang Pamilya", (The Family that Prays Together, Stays Together). This is in keeping with TSPI’s thrust to enrich the roles of mothers as key agents in the economic and spiritual growth of the families. An estimated 65,000 clients participated in 19 Ugnayan celebrations from March to June 2003.
