Embedded Files
Following the reception of AFICS-PHL’s 2020 coffee table book, “Filipino Footprints in the United Nations,” and the 2025 “Eighty for 80,” the association is inviting members to be featured in an upcoming sequel publication.
Dedication and expertise of members who have worked with the UN helped shape international public service. Whether it is an unforgettable field mission, a career milestone, or a lasting life lesson learned under the UN flag, their journey deserves to be preserved and shared.
What to Submit
As contributors to the publication, members are requested to send concise narratives of around 150–200 words highlighting their career. The topics can be any of the following themes:
An unforgettable experience in the UN
A major professional accomplishment during the member’s career or field work
A lasting life lesson gained from the AFICS member’s time in the system
The impact of the UN on who the member is today
Photos and Personal Details
To bring the story to life, the members are asked to also accompany the write-up with:
One high-resolution solo close-up photo
At least one action or work photo at the UN (along with a short caption noting the year and location)
Professional Profile: Full name, nickname (if any), preferred titles/degrees, last position held, last UN agency, last country of assignment, and any other key UN positions the member would like to be highlighted.
How to Join
Space in the publication will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so members are encouraged to send in their contributions early. Contributions are to be sent via email along with the photos to annasenga@gmail.com, the AFICS PHL Vice President and Membership Committee chair’s email.
Deadline for contributions is November 30, 2026.
Organizers emphasize honoring shared history and inspiring others by telling these stories. Members should not miss this opportunity.
