In September 12, 2015, the officers of the different solo parents’ organizations of NCR and Region 3 met at the barangay hall of San Lorenzo Village, Makati City to discuss the merging of our respective organizations. We then agreed to form the United Solo Parents of the Philippines, which is now known as the Federation of Solo Parents in LuzViMin-USPP (this is the name approved by SEC).
We met again at the DSWD CO on April 8, 2016 to formally organize FUSPP and elect a set of officers. On May, 2016, we received our SEC certificate and membership book.
