Time management siguru ampong task delegation
Define “batch unity” and “family spirit”. When are these two concepts relevant and when are they not?
both are present in the organization. They are interdependent. Though both are sustained in the organization, batch unity is more evident since we all apply as a batch, while not all of us experience the ‘family spirit’ of aguman at full.
“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.
Not entirely agree. Being a senior member doesn’t mean that you can mentor the new batches at its entirety. There are also some things that new batches are supposed to give and subsequently change in the organization.
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.
Truth – pag ayaw ko, ayaw ko.. haha
Faith – I trust in the org.
Kinship – Pane ko abe reng agupips
SPECIFIC PLAN OF ACTION
SOLICITATION
*Releasing solicitation letters at least 2 months before an event.
Soliciting gets even more difficult when the date of the event itself comes close. To prevent the rush and the pressure, it would be better if the solicitation letters would be released, at least, two months before an event. Given that much time, I think we would have enough solicited money to successfully launch an event.
*Constantly reminding the members through text brigade.
Sometimes, even if we are given a lot of time to solicit, we have this tendency to be lax until we realize that we are running out of time. So as to minimize this, we would have to constantly remind the members about soliciting by frequently texting them.
*Pair / Group solicitation
Most of us are too shy to solicit by themselves, so to make this job more productive and enjoyable, we will reinforce that solicitation would be done as a pair/group. Along with that, we would set specific dates when these group solicitations would be done. As much as possible, we would have to assign a member from the Finance Committee to help you out with the solicitation.
FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES
*Doing it more often
Fund raising activities are a big help to our org when we talk about money. Thus, it would be a big help to us if we can launch an activity of this in nature once every two months or once a month, depending on the kind of activity. Some of these activities would include the traditional ones like the Rummage Sale, the Babarug Pipitik and etc.
*Committee competition
Also, to further encourage the members to actively participate in these activities, it would be better if there would be a competition among the committees. Of course, the winning committee would be rewarded.
ORG-FUNDED ACTIVITIES
It is in a kapampangan’s nature to be competitive kaya pin egana-ganang pa-contest sasalihan tamu eh. May that be a food stuffing or a quiz show sort of contest, we can’t deny that the members usually share a part of their winnings to the org. So it would just be fair if the fees, e.g. registration fee, would be paid using the org’s funds (basta ba sure lang manyambut la, hehe).
Aside from continuing the example set by Kuya Justin, these are some of the things that I would be doing for our org. Money matters should not appear as burdens when we speak of them, rather they should appear as things that are enjoyable to do. We can incorporate bonding and having fun with any of the Financial Committee’s activity since those activities would be more exciting and pleasing to do if they would be more fun.
QUESTIONS FROM THE ELECTORAL BOARD
With sufficient details, describe UP TO TWO (2) situations/instances in the past wherein you exhibited significant, if not deep, know-how on the position you are running for.
*Anyang Babarug Pipitik, since aku ing madalas tumambay kareng members na ning FinComm, aku ing tatalan kareng perang mabibie potang atin magvote. Every night, checheck ku nung mag-tally la ba reng qeng pera ku on-hand at deng votes since ali mu naman puru voting, at atin ding mag-back vote. It is important that every plus and minus should be written so as to get a theoretical result which is equal to the actual amount. Bawas error, bawas pamag-abono qetang part na ning mag-collect.
*As a member of the Finance Committee, somehow I’ve had a glimpse of how a Treasurer should work. I have seen through the examples of Kuya Justin that a Treasurer should know how to handle the organization’s money well.
Enumerate UP TO FIVE (5) concrete and feasible steps to encourage cooperation and attendance of members during GenMeets and org activities.
*Although, it is not one of my responsibilities, it wouldn’t be bad if I, too, would do some reminding by texting the members.
*Mas masanting siguru nung ating games or any other bonding activities before a general meeting para ma-engganyu la reng mems a munta.
*A specific task should be assigned to every re-affed member so that they will be attending an activity unless he/she has a valid reason not to do so.
*Masanting din siguru na after a general meeting / activity, sabe-sabe ta ngan mangan, nung pwede.
*I-utilize ku nea rin siguru ing logbook and the AOL by reminding them there.
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?
*A Treasurer should be thrifty, prudent, organized, hard working and confident. As of now, I cannot say that I have any of these characteristics but I will do what it takes to learn and acquire them for me to be a better person and a better member of the org.
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.
*Magtipid ku. Haha! Dapat matutu kung talan pera kasi ita ing metung kareng qualities a dapat atin ya ing Treasurer na ning org.
*I would start thinking of different fund raising activities for the org. Mangutang, mag-research, manisip with my committee mates para karas na ning 1st sem atin na kahit papaanong ideas on hand. I-abe na rin ka rin ing pamamantun prospect sponsors para naman well-funded la talaga reng events tamu.
*This summer, I would practice managing my time well because it is one of my greatest weaknesses as of the moment.
*I would also start to write notes about the things that I should do. Mapangalingwan ku eh.
*Subuknan ku ring maging careful and organized kareng pera by practicing these two on my own money.
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
*Finding sponsors is not that easy – Masakit talagang mamantun sponsors lalo na pang ika mung dili, kaya as much as possible, mag-solicit ta mu as a pair / group. Mas masanting din nung makapag-start tamung mag-solicit at least two months before an event para makarakal.
*Collecting re-aff fees and the likes is not that easy too – Siguru mas masanting na I-divide ing work na ning pamangolekta within the organization. Mas mag-work siguru nung ma-assign la reng members na ning Finance Committee to collect from a specific committee para iya/ila na ing/deng point person(s) queng committee a ita.
*Fund raising activities should not appear as a burden – Masakit mag-start at mag-maintain activities of this nature lalo na nung it would appear as a burden for members. So why not make it exciting for them? Dapat kasi consistent ing energy level mu to do the job. Siguru mas masanting nung every fund raising activity would include a healthy competition among Committees para naman ganahan la reng members. It would also serve as a good bonding activity for us.
*What if the org’s fund is a bit too little that it can no longer fund the contests that the members would be joining? – Since e na man laging ala yang pera ing org, siguru aku na pang mag-abono para karin lalo na nung sure lang manyambut, hehe.
*What if the actual expenses would exceed the expected expenses of an event?
Nung kulang ya ing dadalan a pera for an event, siguru aku nang mag-abono nung agyu ku pero nung ali que agyu, aku nang lumuhud at manyad saup kareng aliwang mems since ibalik ya rin karela itang perang indam na ning org.
Define “batch unity” and “family spirit”. When are these two concepts relevant and when are they not?
* Defining the two in the UP Aguman context, I can say that “Batch Unity” is, as what the name says, the oneness of a batch, and along with that oneness comes their closeness with one another. While, “Family Spirit” is the atmosphere wherein we relate to one another as a real family member, though we are not related through blood. When there are issues regarding the organization, as a whole, of course the concept of being a family is much relevant than batch unity. But if the issues are about a batch, it is then that the idea of batch unity becomes much important.
“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.
*Personally, I agree that we can look up to our senior members, whether as people, as members and as mentors. It is unquestionable that when it comes to experience, our seniors are at top of that. Mas dakal la talaga balu kaysa kekatamung anak pa kaya I’m sure we’ll learn a lot from them.
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.
*Truth – Every time that another member asks me some personal questions, I tell the truth about what was asked since I trust them.
*Faith – In relation to what I have mentioned above, I believe that another member also tells me the truth about a question that I have asked. Except kay Ham, nilinlang niya ako eh. Haha. Joke lang. XD
-Whenever another member shares something personal with me, I do not spill what was shared since he/she placed his/her trust with me and I don’t want to destroy that trust.
*Kinship – If you haven’t noticed, I’m always at the ‘tambayan’. My only reason for doing that is because I still want to know the other members, knowing for a fact that one semester of application is not enough to know every member very well.
- I also am ever-present in our bonding activities. It is for the same reason that I have given just before this example.
*Service – Whenever we have events in Pampanga, I try my best to attend, unless I have an exam or any other reason that are really important. Moreover, I try to come on the set call time so as to help in preparing for the event.
-Also, as much as possible when we have our events, I don’t want to remain idle for such a long period of time. In fact, I even helped our applicants with their assigned task during the Sining since I had nothing to do after my task.
