He also proposed to the group the creation of a National Astronomy Service Award which he intends to brought up to the board of directors for approval in the months to come. This award will be open to any individuals residing in the Philippines, regardless of affiliation who excel in the field of astronomy. ALP will also start to encourage its members to start observing the Messier objects so that they can achieve merits that will be given by the society on those who have observed and sketched the objects at any ALP stargazing activity site. This will then be forwarded to ALP observation chairman Allen Yu for confirmation and verification if the objects observed are correct. Certificates will be given to those who have gathered 25, 50, 75 and 100th Messier objects. This proposal is done to encourage members of ALP to take seriously the objects that they had observed so that their observation skills will be further improved. He also invited members to join upcoming stargazing session at Caliraya , Laguna on March 12-13. Among those confirmed to join were James Kevin Ty, Allen Yu, Jett Aguilar, Jhun Embuido and Dante Cruz.
