The Martial Law Initiative will happen at Monday, September 28, and the speaker will be Mr. Ed Garcia, whom to be awarded at the Academic Convocation.

e. Accdg. to briefer, Mr. Garcia’s been around for a long time. He’s so influential, that Dr. Guevarra is moved by him. The good thing about him was that he was there during the time of Martial Law. His stance on student leadership was are developed from those founding principles.

f. Sanggunian Involvementi. When: Monday, Sept. 28, 4:30-6:00 PM

ii. Where: Escaler Halliii. We want to be a major stakeholder here, but we also recognize

that this is an initiative of the ADSF. We are invited to present this to the student body. But I also want ADSF to be included in the branding, for them to see this as a good first step for an introduction to the ADSF.

iv. Program flow: 1. Opening remarks by Luigi del Rosario2. Introduction of speaker by Dr. Tolosa3. Talk by Mr. Garcia (1 hour)4. Small salu-salo afterwards

v. I’m not seeking approval, rather, what I’m trying to forward to the Sanggunian is a pro-active involvement from you. We now have to branch this out to a micro level.

vi. DPR heads the Creative, with COA Secretary-General’s help.vii. Expetations from Sanggu

1. Attendance. We need a delegation for this talk.2. Event RSVP, page, people delegation from SB, depts.3. Everything else is accounted for, we will mainly be in

charge.4. If we have Log volunteers, ushers, if reps that are willing to

help.

2) Rappler Social Good Event



[email protected]

a. Go: Only Saje and I will go. Hopefully it could extend that more Sanggunian people to come. The summit will require us to talk in an online platform. If possible, can we ask DPR to release promotions inviting students to join the conversation. We need students to converse via Twitter.

b. Added value for Sanggu? Representation. They will expect statements from Ateneo people, as student leaders

c. Detailsi. Saturday, Sept 26

ii. Resorts’ World Manilad. Saje and Kristoni decided to bring two new DEA applicants to the event,

those whom Saje saw potential. We need people in the cloud (to be present online) to participate in the discussions, more particularly the student leaders since they are the ones knowledgeable.

e. Let's avoid over-efforts. With or without DPR, you're still going. One or two CB meetings after this, gather your thoughts. Have a short presentation, describing your learnings, etc.

f. For transportation: carpool, then reimbursement

3) Integration of OBAa. Go: According to Saje, it's more like an open discussion for all us. What

is the direction for us?b. Direction for Sanggunian:

i. From SOSA: Reinternalizing; recognizing this year being a transition year without falling short of the representative functions.

1. Officers are still performing duties in their own committees (e.g.: school forums).

ii. We will not “think outside the box” yet, recognizing that we are a “crippled” institution.

iii. It may be counter-active if we do too much efforts, while strengthening from the inside.

c. Del Rosario: However, as a Buklod Delegate, I think OBA must be headed now. As I noticed from past Buklods, after crafting a Mission-Vision, as we approach the Mid-Year Summit what now? What should we be doing? Any specific initiatives?

d. The resolutions referred to:i. Resolution to Call for Open Applications for the Positions of

Buklod Atenista Ambassador and Buklod Atenista Traineesii. Resolution to Commission the Incumbent Buklod Atenista

Ambassador and the Department of External Affairs in Training the Succeeding Ambassador and Trainees

e. Ideas for training in relation to the upcoming Buklod this October:i. COA: Etiquette in external relations

ii. Luigi: Professional networkingf. DEA's role in the Buklod Atenista Congress:

i. Del Rosario: Back then, the ones who decides the delegacy was the President and the Buklod Ambassador. CJ and Luigi evaluated as to what will be the Sanggunian initiatives for this year. Specifically:

1. Ateneo Task Force (external efforts) Mawe Duque was then asked to come



[email protected]

2. Efforts with organizations Yesu Hernandez was also asked to come

3. DEA was also asked to come as it is an external effortg. Del Rosario: To formally decide as to who is going, evaluate first as to

what will be the direction of the Sanggunian. And then, maybe those agendas can be brought to the Buklod proper. The Buklod Atenista Congress is an open invitation to the schools. There is an allotted certain number of slots per school. The school will be the ones deciding as to who will be the delegates, and how they will be subsidized. (e.g.: ADZU had many delegates as the costs are out of their own pockets.) We have to exercise prudence in selecting our delegation because all of their projected expenses are covered by SAF. The applications have always been open to all, it’s just that the President and the Buklod Ambassador chooses the ones to whom the SAF will be spent to.

h. Del Rosario: Collate all your formal concerns. So we can see what are the issues. And then we can decide if we bring these up to Buklod, or if we can solve these internally. At least we are not getting ideas out of nowhere. What can we do, issues that we are facing, etc.?

i. CJ Leong is already transitioning the next Buklod Ambassadori. Meetings held Wednesday, 11:30 AM

ii. Inviting DEA as part of the discussionj. OBA delegation has to be discussed soon pre-elections. If we wait for the

election results, it may be too late to discuss Buklod again. One or two CB meetings from now.

k. Venue of Buklod Atenista: Cagayan De Oro

4) Budget Freezea. Bonifacio: : I need to know the status of the budget freeze as I cannot

schedule the financial orientation for the SSS applicants. I can have the orientation, but then I don’t want to have with this current status of the budget

b. Del Rosario: Understandable, as new financial mechanisms may suddenly be introduced…

c. Bonifacio: … without them being oriented about it.

5) Student Leaders’ Symposiuma. Details

i. 10:30 AM, Friday, 17 Septemberii. OSA will provide the PPT presented during the symposium

iii. Attendees:1. Ele Gealogo, DIA Chairperson2. Yesu Hernandez, COA President3. Luigi Del Rosario, Sanggunian Coordinator

b. What: one way for them to be able to properly delegate tasks so as to avoid the bottleneck of collaborations/correlation effort

c. Why: OSA is conducting IC’s with orgs, knowing their current problems. But then these orgs will have another IC with another organization (e.g.: Sanggunian). Later on, it will be realized that the problem of one org is already solved by another org, and the problem of the other org has been solved by another org. If both parties have already discussed prior, we could have avoided the time lapse that we wasted just figuring out what we could do

d. SLS was created as a way for the student leaders, the Admin included, to get together not just to talk about the problems, but to really collaborate on a greater scale

e. The next SLS will be at October. This is a huge concern for the Sanggunian since the new tuition scheme will be discussed with Dr. Vergara. Impending deadline on having a representative for Agenda Approval is on Monday, September 28. There is a process being followed for setting the agenda

f. Del Rosario: I want to be that representative. However, that is dependent as to if I am no longer the Sanggunian Coordinator.Hernandez: Can we wait after the elections?Bonifacio: The deadline is on the 28th.Del Rosario: For the meantime, I will be the representative. If anyone wants it, take it. We just need to brief the person if ever.

g. FAQ's from the previous meeting:i. Included in the SLS is the Sanggunian, COA, and CoP. Should

Luigi, Yesu, or Regine Cabato for CoP be there? Not necessarily, according to Mr. Castillo.

ii. If it just so happens to be them, might as well.iii. It is also a challenge for the respective units to exercise prudence.

Discernment in action. Can we trust this representative with the wisdom, etc., to be able to properly set the agenda for the entire SLS.

6) CTPAS – Committee on Traffic and Parking Administration for Studentsa. Del Rosario: One volunteer we have is Miguel Hamoy. Sir Cholo was a

bit apprehensive because he is not part of the Sanggunian. But I’d rather have someone willing to do it. Koko Quilatan will be the Sanggunian representative.

7) Academic Convocationa. It has been a tradition for the past few years to have a student

delegation in the academic convocation. It is also a sign for the student leaders to be there. It is very inspirational seeing people that we look up to being awarded. The deadliest deadline for the sign-ups is on Friday, September 18. Classes are called off from 1:30 PM to 6:00 PM. Venue is at Henry Lee Irwin Theater. Attire is smart-casual, semi-formal

8) Courtesy Call with Dr. Guevarraa. Happening at 2:30 PM on Wednesday, September 23. It is a kamustahan

session, not a grievance event. (e.g.: How is the Sanggunian doing, recap on SOSA, status of the Committees and the Departments, etc.) And then, they will offer help, since they specifically said “What can we do?” Then they can offer help. Informal sign-ups are at the T52 Facebook group

9) School Foruma. To be held at 4:30 PM on Wednesday, September 23 instead of Friday,

September 25 due to the holiday.b. Representatives:
