What is your definition of leadership?
Leadership follows the principle of being a servant-leader. Ang isang pinuno ay hindi lamang isang tagapagpatupad; dapat maging “servant” din siya na handang magsilbi sa mga pangangailangan ng kanyang napamumunuan. Hindi sapat na madali lamang niyang napapasunod ang mga taong kanyang pinamumunuan kundi mahalaga rin na mayroon siyang sapat at personal na “koneksyon” sa kanila at madali siyang makibagay at makitungo sa kanila (he/she can easily get along with them); pota naman kasi rugu susunud la mu dahil tatakut la kaya. Ang mabisang pamumuno ay kailangang mapangibabawan din ng pagsasakripisyo at disiplina sa pagsunod ng mga miyembro lalu na ng pinuno – wa, lalu na ing leader dahil masakit namang manutus nung ali ka rin naman biasang sumunud, di ba?

Makananu kalalam ing know-how mu keng position na tatagalan mu?
Aminado ako na hindi gaanong matagal ang pananatili ko at pagsisilbi sa Lupon na Pangkasapian (Membership Committee) sa UP Aguman ngunit naniniwala ako na bilang isang aktibong miyembro na laging lumalagi sa tambayan at present sa mga aktibidad ay alam ko ang mga nangyayari sa loob ng organisasyon at para sa akin sapat na itong dahilan upang masabi ko na may kaalaman ako sa takbo ng usaping pangkasapian ng organisasyon. At isa pa, naranasan ko na rin na mamuno ng Lupon na Pangkasapian dati.

Generally speaking (meaning, aside from technical know-how on the position), what does it take to be a competent AguLeader (regardless of position)?
Ang isang mabisang AguLeader ay dapat mayroong positibong disposisyon. Sa tingin ko kailangang lagi siyang mayroong masayang aura na naipapasa o naibabahagi niya sa mga miyembro nang sa gayon nagiging maayos at magaan ang daloy ng mga gawain lalo na sa mga pagkakataong ang lahat ay haggard na. Kailangan din na flexible siya at madaling maka-adapt sa anumang sitwasyon na kanyang kakaharapin. Bilang panghuli, dapat lagi siyang magpakita ng katatagan na siya ring magiging batis (source) ng pagiging matatag ng mga miyembro at maging ng buong organisasyon.
At isa pa (haha, humirit pa! karakal kasi e) kagaya ng isang quote at matagal ko nang shoutout sa aking Friendster account: “A good leader is a follower of what is true, what is fair and what is just”.

How would you prevent previous mistakes of previous Executive Councils?
Mumunang dili, dapat pakibalwan mu pa nung nanu la retang mali a reta.. it is also important to take note of those things / stuffs which caused that particular mistake. Palage ku ita mu naman ing masaleseng paralan in order to prevent those mistakes from taking place again – na dapat balu mu la ampong aware ka king egana-ganang malilyari. In addition, the Executive Council should always remain firm and united and must avoid conflicts among themselves.. malamang diba? Makananu ya ba namang maging masalese ing org nung king mismong kilub ning ExeCoun ali la masalese at mikakasundu.

Nanung masanting a administrative policy or practice ning outgoing Executive Council ing buri mung i-continue?
Mahusay na ipagpatuloy natin ang pagkakaroon ng malawak at matatag na ugnayan sa ating mga alumni. Ito’y hindi lamang upang maasahan natin sila sa mga pagkakataong mayroon tayong pangangailangang pampinansyal kundi higit kanino man, sila ang mga taong malalapitan natin sa mga panahong kailangan natin ng pagpapayo para sa ikabubuti, ikapagtatagumpay at lalo pang ikatatatag ng ating organisasyon. At dahil isang pamilya tayo, dapat walang iwanan at walang limutan.. sabi nga ni Lilo, “..Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten..” (Lilo and Stitch, 2002)

Kapilan taya i-ammend ing Consti? Anong petsa na?!
Kapilan nga ba? Ali makanta kasagli ita ‘di ba? makabang proseso ita, so dapat ASAP. Balu ku me-umpisahan na e, so aryan ta ne mu (haha.. ustu ku ba?). Keni ta mu rin kailanganan ing saup da reng kekatamung dear alumni.

What trait of yours do you think will give you a harder time when it comes to handling the pressures of being in-charge?
Hmmm.. siguro pagdating sa usaping pangkasapian, medyo mahihirapan ako kapag may mga miyembro na, lalo na mga aplikante na nakiki-usap at nagmamakaawa na dahil madali lang akong paki-usapan (most of the times) at madali lang din akong mahabag. Aaawww. Hindi rin ako marunong o nahihiyang mag-utos so I usually end up doing the task na dapat ginagawa na ng iba. Aaminin ko, OC at GC talaga ako! Ddi ko na kailangang ipaliwanag di ba? Hehe!

Ninung older member/s ing role model mu karas keng pagiging AguLeader?
E Daph.. grabe, bilib ku talaga kaya. Biruin mo, nagawa niyang maglakad mula Philcoa hanggang atimtiman! Joke lang, peace tayo Daph! Seriously, ya talaga kasi buri ku ing pagiging hyper at jolly na king tambayan ampong biyasa yang makyabe kareng members. Matutuwa ku rin kareng creative ideas na. Agyu na la mu ring apiyabe-abe ding mems ampong lalu pang ilapit ding alumni king org ampong kekatamung resident mems.

As the MemComm Head, what is your overall policy when it comes handling the applicants in order to produce the best members possible out of them?
Kung ano man ang magiging kahihinatnan ng mga aplikante ay hindi lamang nakabatay sa mga aplikante mismo kundi pati na rin sa mga miyembro at lalung lalo na sa lupon na humahawak sa kanila, ang lupon na sila ring huhubog sa kanila upang maging mga mabubuti at kapakipakinabang na miyembro. Mahalaga na magkaroon ng mahusay ng paggabay ang mga aplikante. Dapat mangibabaw sa Lupon na Pangkasapian ang pagkakaroon ng disiplina lalo sa oras sa pagpapatupad ng mga nakatakdang gawain para sa mga aplikante. Kailangan ding maging strict pero reasonable sa mga aplikante. Kung ihahalintulad sa pagpapalaki ng mgaulang sa kanyang anak, ang Lupon Pangkasapian ay nararapat lamang na maging authoritative sa halip na maging authoritarian.

Patse mag-dine out tamu at mag-bonding, nun ta mas masanting mangan?
Pache mig-bonding tamu, sana ali na puro pamangan. Hehe! Balu ku naman marakal mag-diet kareng AguPips ngeni. Siguru bantang mialiwa naman, mag-“nature trip” tamu – mag-picnic tamu king La Mesa Ecopark. Ing food? Paglutu da kayu (why not?!? haha) o kaya maglutu tamu ngan for more “bondness”. O davah! Bonding with the mems as well as with Mother Nature! Keri!
