April 12, 2011 was a night of rediscovery at the Society Lounge in Makati for the Philippine Society for Training & Development (PSTD) members, guests and friends. It was also a night of pride for this year’s Board of Trustees as they unveiled the 1st PSTD Workplace Learning and Performance (WLP) Awards and the Gawad Maestro statue – their version of the Oscar.
