UP Aguman holds Acquaintance Party 2008

by pekepate

July 9, 2008 - UP Aguman held one of its most fun and anticipated activities, the Acquaintance Party. 2008 The party was mainly organized by the Membership Committee with tasks delegated to the other committees. The aim of the party was to welcome and gather Aguman members, alumni and guests like other Kapampangan students, freshmen and otherwise. The attendees flocked at Balay Kalinaw and spent three hours or so of the night together.

Daphne Villanueva (Kaputul 2004A), former President, led the UP Aguman Creed after a thanksgiving prayer. Current President Jennifer Castro gave the Opening Remarks and welcomed everyone to the Party. After the aforementioned, Mr. Bernard Afable gave a message on life as a UP student and as a member of UP Aguman.

After introducing the organization to the guests, Acey Duarte, Internals Vice-President and Membership Committee Head, initiated a name game as a means of introduction. Guests and members had to introduce themselves with an accompanying adjective that starts with the letter of their nicknames.

Everyone munched on solicited food - pansit palabok (Gloria's Fast Food), hamburgers (Bermont's) and food prepared by the committees - rice (Finance Committee), tocino (Socio-Cultural Committee), salted eggs and Mmngoes (External Committee), iced tea and bananas (Records & Publications Committee). While eating, the Executive Council members introduced their respective committees and committee members.

After the feast, the attendees laughed hard and enjoyed the two movie presentations prepared by John Carl Gozun (Baskal 2007A) and Felipe Pablo IV (Baskal 2007A), both R&P Committee members.

Because of time constraint, the attendees were able to participate in just one of the mayn games prepared by Educational Committee. Sure enough, everyone released all their energies left as they played the Exhaust Game, where the players had to enumerate answers based on a given category.

The guests did not leave empty-handed. Not only did they bring with them good memories of a great night, but also, took home tokens provided by the six committees - notepads (MemComm), bookmarks (Externals) CDs copies of the AVPs and UP Aguman brochures (Records), chocolate gold coins (FinComm), notebooks (EducComm) and ballpens (SocioComm).

Daphne Villanueva, Kaputul 2004A
