AguELECTIONS 2009: Socio-Cultural Committee Chairperson
In time for the AguELECTIONS 2009, the Electoral Board is releasing comprehensive Candidate Profiles for all the nominees. This includes their Specific Plan of Action (SPOA) and a few questions prepared by the Electoral Board. The said Candidate Profiles are released in various platforms for maximum reach. This aims to aid all members in truly making an informed decision in determining the officers for the Executive Council 2009-2010.
SOME REMINDERS:
*ELECTION is on Thursday, March 12, with a Miting De Avance at 5:45pm.
*The members are expected to have read all the Candidate Profiles by then.
*PDF copies of the Candidate Profiles will be emailed in the resident mailing list, too.
*Hard copies are also available at the tambayan starting Tuesday, March 10.
*Read everything! Make an informed decision.
SPECIFIC PLAN OF ACTION
S-OCIO
Away from brain-wrecking exams and other acads stuff, most of us usually spend our time exchanging stories with the Agupips. I bet that indeed, UP Aguman has been a family for most of us. And, in our desire to further “promote the spirit of kinship”, I believe that activities such as an inter-committee sports fest would be worthwhile.
Socio Comm. will organize an Inter-committee Sports Fest or an Amazing Race which may be scheduled on the week of UP Aguman’s anniversary. If everybody’s schedule and our budget may permit, we can also have other events or activities on the same week along with Mutya ning Aguman.
We will cooperate with the Externals committee so we may also invite the alumni to participate in this our celebration.
O-RDERLINESS
I believe that our tambayan has become the home of this family. Here is where we spent time to relax after a long and busy day. That’s why, as a responsibility of the Socio Comm., the orderliness of the tambayan will be of much concern to my SPOA.
A. Bulletin Board
We will make our bulletin board more organized and functional. We will post the scheduled events for the month so everyone may be reminded.
We will also try to provide a small white board so we may post immediate or emergency announcements. With this, even those who can’t take time to stay in the tambayan and check out important matters written on the log book may also be updated. They may just simply pass by our tambayan and be instantly informed of important matters.
We will cooperate with the Records and Pub. Comm. for the maintenance of the bulletin.
B. Cabinet
We will fix the cabinet so we may maximize their purpose. We may use this to secure important documents or simply to serve as an organizer for Aguproperties and other stuff. We will also provide padlocks so as to make safe these properties.
If Batch Pinanari08A may agree, we may procure another cabinet/ organizer/ rack for our bags which shall serve as our batch project.
C. Cleaning Materials
We also believe that cleaning materials such as dust pan and broom would be of much help in maintaining the cleanliness in our tambayan.
Now, when it comes to maintenance, (although it may sound so “high school”) we are hoping that everyone would agree to assign a committee per day which will take charge of keeping the orderliness, if not cleaning the tambayan. Yet, self-discipline is still imposed.
We would include this as well on the schedule for the month.
C-ULTURAL
As the primary provincial student organization of Pampanga, we are responsible for actively participating, as well as organizing activities that will further develop, revive and promote the Capampangan culture and artistry. In line with this, we may further improve the activities that we have by collaborating with other organizations in Pampanga, concern with the same matters.
A. SINING
As one of the major events of this organization, headed by the socio-cultural committee, SINING will be of much concern in my SPOA. We will settle all matters so as to fix the foreseen problems. We will create and follow a specific time table for the preparations so that we may avoid cramming things and other stuff.
1. Events
I suggest that we shall have the declamation contest on the first day, along with other speech competitions including impromptu speech and crisotan. Poetry and essay writing, poster making and still life drawing will still be on the first day.
On one hand, solo singing,interpretative dance, modern steet dance and rockoustic will remain on the second day.
(If our time and budget will allow, we can have additional events.)
2. Criteria
We will do the necessary revisions/modifications with our criteria so we may make ourselves clear and not be bothered by texts and calls from schools, clarifying the criteria.
3. Theme and topics
We will try to come up with the theme and the individual topics for the different events as early as possible. We will call a brainstorming session in one or two of our general meetings for this purpose, perhaps on the first or second month of the second semester.
4. STS Letters and Posters
We will release and distribute the STS letters among the schools in Pampanga on the first week of classes for the month of January. We scheduled this on this particular week because we assume that our schedule for acads would still be loose by this time since it’s just the beginning of the year.
For the distribution, we will divide the schools among ourselves. That means, we will assign schools that are nearest to the place of residence of every member. With this system, we can divide the job equally and disseminate the information properly. Every member is also expected to get the numbers and e-mail addresses of the schools assigned to him/her for follow-ups. We are doing this to achieve a higher percent of participation from these schools.
5. Judges
With the Educ. Comm., we will give extra effort on this. We will release the letters for the judges as early as the second quarter of the month of November so we may have a longer time working on this matter. With this, we can immediately look for other judges if ever some may turn down our invitations.
6. Division of Labor
Work will be clearly defined and properly distributed among the members. We are expecting that everyone will function according to the tasks assigned to him/her before and most especially during the event. This will be strictly followed so as to put things in order and keep the event smooth-flowing.
7. Venue, Time and Date
As usual, we will hold Sining on the month of February.
This time, it will be held at Don Bosco Academy, Sining 2009’s champion. Second day’s venue still largely hangs on the arrangements and negotiations with the management of SM Clark. We’ll also see if we can consider SM Pampanga and Robinson’s as alternatives.
We will also ask for a clear statement of terms and conditions of the management so we may be guided by this.
We will strictly follow the schedule of the program during the day itself so we may get rid of not so good feedbacks from coaches and participating schools.
B. Other Cultural Events
With the help of the Externals Committee, we will also do our best to take part in other activities inside and outside the academe which can serve as venues for promoting the Capampangan Culture. We will also coordinate with various organizations in Pampanga which share the same concerns and aspirations with us, and be updated with other advocacies and events by these institutions through the help of Records and Publications Comm.
I-NVENTORY
As the custodian of the properties of the organization, Socio Comm. will provide an official list of the properties and supplies of the organization.
O-RG. SUPPLIES
We will also provide the basic supplies that we usually need in the tambayan. These include pens, scissors, scotch tape/stapler, bond papers, pentelpen/white board marker etc.
QUESTIONS FROM THE ELECTORAL BOARD
With sufficient details, describe UP TO TWO (2) a situation/instance in the past wherein you exhibited significant, if not deep, know-how on the position you are running for.
1. When I was in 4th year, I myself became a participant in Sining. As a contestant then, I knew now how it is to be on the shoes of the participants. And, now that I’m already a member and an aspiring Socio-cultural Head, I believe that I can do the necessary adjustments to make the experience for the contestants more interesting.
2. I also actively participated in the previous Sining 2009 by observing and having a hands-on experience of the “real action” before and during the event itself. I also believe that I put an extra effort on making it a successful event in my own ways such as going personally at San Lorenzo Ruiz, Pampanga High School and University of the Assumption,even all by my self, just to bring to them the STS letters.
Enumerate UP TO FIVE (5) concrete and feasible steps to encourage cooperation and attendance of members during GenMeets and org activities.
1. Text Brigades- bombard them with text brigs
2. Follow-up those who are not attending the meetings by sending them personal messages from time to time, asking them the reasons for not attending
3. Appeal to emotions? Konsensyan ta la!haha
Enumerate UP TO FIVE (5) unwritten but classic and expected skills in your position? Sanu kareni ing atin naka, sanu reng pagsikapan mu pa rin for now?
1. public relations (atin na?)
2. public speaking (atin na)
3. computer (kulang pa…ala ku kasing computer eh)
4. arts and craft (atin na)
5. managing work force (kulang pa)
Enumerate UP TO FIVE (5) specific mini-tasks or advanced preparation that you can do during the summer vacation, to efficiently jumpstart orgwork come 1st semester.
1. reviewing and evaluating the SPOA of the previous terms
2. doing a complete and updated directory of the members
3. asking for pieces of advice from previous terms
4. reviewing the financial accounts regarding the budget that was used in last term’s projects
5. collecting other documents such as STS letters, invitations for the judges, etc.
Given your SPOA, give UP TO FIVE (5) currentlyoccurring problems that will most probably be the worst hindrances for you to implement or realize your SPOA.
1. lack of cooperation among members
2. budget insufficiency
Also specify your steps to avert these hindrances.
1. encourage the mems to attend meetings
2. extra effort on looking for sponsors
3. ask help from other Capampangan cultural institutions
Define “batch unity” and “family spirit”. When are these two concepts relevant and when are they not?
Batch unity is when you see everyone give his/her extra effort to make every task lighter and every challenge successful while family spirit is when you see everyone happy, growing as a person, at peace. They are relevant in such a way that if you can feel that spirit of family, it would be easy for you to really put an extra effort to establish that unity. They are not when we begin to separate personal matters from our responsibilities.
"Senior members are the Atche’s ampong Koya’s keng org that we can look up to, as people, as members and as mentors.” Agree or disagree? Why? In what way/s? Explain.
In a way I agree, because they have the necessary experience that can somehow serve as guides for us in making decisions and handling things although I believe that the last decision will still be on a person’s own hands.
In what concrete and specific ways or practices do you live by our core values of truth, faith, kinship and service, as an individual person in the AguFamily. You can give UP TO TWO (2) ways per core value.
Faith—when we face problems, like the lack of budget, I personally remain positive and encourage others as to believe that God will help us through, for as long as we put our “full” trust on Him (does it sound so dramatic?...but, its true)
Kinship—when I make decisions, I ask some of the mems for advice because I value that level of connection that we have
SPECIFIC PLAN OF ACTION
TAMBAYAN FACE LIFT- We will attend to matters concerning the CLEANLINESS and ORDERLINESS of our beloved “home”
Clean ups- more clean-ups would be done to prevent the accumulation of clutter and dust bunnies
Organized Space- stacking areas would be fixed to avoid losing org materials and piling up of trash
AGU KITS- We will provide kits that will keep our supplies sorted and classified
Cleaning Kit- brooms, rags, and other simple cleaning materials would be provided to keep the tambayan spic and span.
Tool Box- The ‘Tool Box’ would keep all the event materials organized so we could all be in track with them. Our expenses would be lessened since this would prevent regular buying of such materials.
TEEzers- We will produce CHEAPER shirts to showcase org pride, and if possible, to have a source of income
THE COMMITTEE- Coordination starts in the committee level. We will keep all members WELL-INFORMED regarding all tasks being done by the committee. Awareness would be increased by utilizing communication media such as meetings, text brigades, and emails. In that way, everybody would KNOW all undertakings and IGNORANCE would not be an acceptable excuse.
SINING 2010
Improvements for the next SINING:
*revise the rules by consulting advisers to avoid complaints from the contestants as well as from the judges
*push through with new events (digital graphic design, fashion design, song writing, etc.)
*include the definition of technical terms (such as MODERN, ACOUSTIC, CRISOTAN) to avoid confusion from everybody!!
QUESTIONS FROM THE ELECTORAL BOARD
With sufficient details, describe UP TO TWO (2) a situations/instances in the past wherein you exhibited significant, if not deep, know-how on the position you are running for.
I have been exposed to the world of art for a sufficient time now to know how to handle an art event like SINING.I have been part of outreaches, contests, workshops, exhibits, and perfomances as a participant and as an organizer.
Enumerate UP TO FIVE (5) concrete and feasible steps to encourage cooperation and attendance of members during GenMeets and org activities.
A solution for this is to REQUIRE ATTENDANCES. We could set an attendance quota for the events and meetings say, at least 2 GenMeets per month for each member. Failure to comply with these requirements would have a corresponding penalty. The worst case could be the jeopardy of one’s membership.
I think this is a desperate measure na kapag naging sobrang pasaway na ng mems. As of now, napupuno pa naman ang circle bench ng old tambayan kapag GenMeets. Ang usual excuse ng mga hindi nakakarating ay acad-related stuff. If so, tulungan natin sila, if we could in any way. AND let’s just avoid personal quarrels para mas ma-tighten pa ang ating family bond. MAGTULUNGAN at MAGMAHALAN.
Enumerate UP TO FIVE (5) unwritten but classic and expected skills in your position? Sanu kareni ing atin naka, sanu reng pagsikapan mupa rin for now?
1.CREATIVE- I believe there are always new solutions to old problems. Kailangan ito ng Socio-head para maayos ang age-old problems ng Sining, ng tambayan, at ng org.
2.GRACE-UNDER-TIME PRESSURE WORKER- Sa dinami-dami na ng cramming moments ko, i have learned how to change original plans without sacrificing the quality to meet the deadlines. Siyempre, kailangan paring iwasan ito dahil marami paring ibang bagay na mahirap i-cram.
Enumerate UP TO FIVE (5) specific mini-tasks or advanced preparation that you can do during the summer vacation, to efficiently jumpstart orgwork come 1st semester.
PLAN.PLAN.PLAN. Plan for the bulletin board design, org shirts, costs of materials, etc. Lahat ng ideas would be put down on paper. The real world is process-oriented itself. Kailangan ng initials plans, the right programming, the right breaking down of schedules para may time for error-consultations and for improvements. Take it from me, I know mahirap magcram.
Given your SPOA, give UP TO FIVE (5) currently occurring problems that will most probably be the worst hindrances for you to implement or realize your SPOA. Also specify your steps to avert these hindrances.
1. MONEY- Wala talagang mararating kapag walang pera. MAGTIPID. TUMULONG sa fund raisings. MAGBAYAD ng mga utang.
2. MAN POWER- When you think about it, madali lang ang mga activities natin basta’t marami tayong nagtutulungan. We just fall short on our working force.Kaya,
3. MISCOMMUNICATION- If there would be people who would not understand (or refuse to understand) the tasks that need to done, patay tayo dyan. A solution would be to spread the info thoroughly. Spread lang ng spread. Para wala ng excuses.
Define “batch unity” and “family spirit”. When are these two concepts relevant and when are they not?
Batch unity is essential when your batch or a member of your batch faces problems in the batch level lang. In the org level, family spirit should be prioritized. Regarding org issues, I think it is not right to make final decisions with the reason “Ah, sige, dahil batchmate ko siya, kakampihan ko siya.” Choose to know what or who is right.
“Senior members are the Atche’s ampong Koya’s keng org that we can look up to, as people, as members and as mentors.” Agree or disagree? Why? In what way/s?
I certainly agree (referring to those ACTIVE senior members). I believe experience is still the best teacher. They know more because they have seen and experienced for a longer time the ups and downs of Aguman. For the invisible members, I don’t think they should be looked up to since they do not enforce the core values of the org.
In what concrete and specific ways or practices do you live by our core values of truth, faith, kinship and service,as an individual person in the AguFamily. You can give UP TO TWO (2) ways per core value.
TRUTH- Everything written in here is SIMPLE, SINCERE and TRUE. I have not written anything false before (in sigsheets, in logbooks) and I never will.
FAITH- I have faith and trust sa mga Agupips. Kapag nagiiwan ako ng gamit or plates ko sa tambayan, nagtitiwala akong hindi nila sisirain iyon. HAHA.
KINSHIP- Daig pa ng Agupips ang tunay kong kapatid dahil mas nasasabihan ko pa sila ng life happenings ko. HAHAHA.
SERVICE- Not being an inactive member ever is a simple action. I know balancing AGU with the other aspects of life is hard, but it is FUN.

Regarding org issues, I think it is not right to make final decisions with the reason “Ah, sige, dahil batchmate ko siya, kakampihan ko siya.” Choose to know what or who is right.
“Senior members are the Atche’s ampong Koya’s keng org that we can look up to, as people, as members and as mentors.” Agree or disagree? Why? In what way/s?
I certainly agree (referring to those ACTIVE senior members). I believe experience is still the best teacher. They know more because they have seen and experienced for a longer time the ups and downs of Aguman. For the invisible members, I don’t think they should be looked up to since they do not enforce the core values of the org.
In what concrete and specific ways or practices do you live by our core values of truth, faith, kinship and service,as an individual person in the AguFamily. You can give UP TO TWO (2) ways per core value.
TRUTH- Everything written in here is SIMPLE, SINCERE and TRUE. I have not written anything false before (in sigsheets, in logbooks) and I never will.
FAITH- I have faith and trust sa mga Agupips. Kapag nagiiwan ako ng gamit or plates ko sa tambayan, nagtitiwala akong hindi nila sisirain iyon. HAHA.
KINSHIP- Daig pa ng Agupips ang tunay kong kapatid dahil mas nasasabihan ko pa sila ng life happenings ko. HAHAHA.
SERVICE- Not being an inactive member ever is a simple action. I know balancing AGU with the other aspects of life is hard, but it is FUN.
