SAMASKOM and other orgs @ Bahay Pag-ibig

On December 17, SAMASKOM, together with the English Club, the faculty from the Dept. of English & Comm., and the faculty from the Dept. of Math & Physics, went to Bahay Pag-ibig for a short community extension program.

Bahay Pag-Ibig houses 70 old people (50 female and 20 male) who no longer have relatives who can take care of them. They were already in the hall when we arrived. After giving all our donations (powdered milk and choco, canned goods, etc.) to the Director's office, we started with the program.










Leonard Grape served as the emcee for the program. Hazzel Dumandan rendered a few songs for them. And with Leo's cue, all the students who were with us entertained the "lolo" and "lola" with songs.





Aside from the donations we left at the office, we also wrapped gifts for each of them. Thanks to all the SAMASKOM members and CAS Ideas staff who donated powder, towel, comb, and soap. We wrapped them and gave them as individual gifts.

The officers and members of the English Club also prepared food for the event -- we served pansit and juice during the program. All of us, students, teachers, and even our dean and assistant dean served them with the food.




Thanks to all the following SAMASKOM members and officers who were with us: Pam, Paul, Leo, Fateem, Andrei, Cris, Kring, Elaine, and Robert. (Did I miss anyone?)

Thanks to the faculty members from the English & Comm. department: Mr. Dennis Infante (Chair), Ms Josie Cunanan (immediate past Chair) Dr. Linny Sialongo, Ms May Cayanan, Mrs. Doty Macaranas, Ms Remy Janda, Ms Michelle Concepcion, Mr. Jojo Dingal, Mr. Arnold Colle, and Mr. Robert Guzman.

Thanks to our Assistant Dean, Dr. Elvie Balinas, and of course to our Dean, Dr. Malay Dizon!

The ENGLISH CLUB is donating cash worth P5,000.00 to cover expenses for a gift (microphone -- as requested by the Bahay Pag-Ibig staff), food, medicines, and other items like gift wrappers, etc.

Also part of the organizing committee is the faculty from the Department of English and Communication -- both the advisers of English Club and SAMASKOM belong to the said department. The English faculty is donating some items as well.

The staff of the CAS Ideas also collected some donations like towel and powder from the CAS students. Their donations were included in the individual gifts.

The Poll Does not Give you any Choice

All 4th year students have to finish their thesis this sem. The poll here does not mean you are shifting to documentary production for your research class.

The poll is meant for evaluation only, not for any other agenda.

Thanks.

Please sign up if you are interested

SAMASKOM officers suggest the use of official lanyards for the course and an ID card for SAMASKOM members.

Please sign up through the assigned SAMASKOM officers/members if you want to purchase either the lanyard or the ID card OR both.

Each lanyard costs P55 and each ID card costs P27.

THIS IS STRICTLY OPTIONAL. Those who are interested, I hope we can place our order so we can start using them during the CAMPUS OPEN which is on November 19.

SAMASKOM sponsors the SEARCH FOR AUCTIONISTA at AUF

Auction.ph is an online shopping mall in the Philippines which provides premium market service for both buyers and sellers. SAMASKOM is privileged to have worked with Auction.ph in order to carry their online modeling contest titled THE SEARCH FOR AUCTIONIST.PH's MODELS. The search was conducted through on-ground campus road show where the staff of Auction.ph visited the AUF campus from July 16 to 18 in search for potential candidates for the model search. Sixteen candidates (8 male and 8 female) were chosen to join the search.

The profiles of the candidates were uploaded on the official web site of Auction.ph. The winner was determined through online voting.

The winners who will represent AUF were Katrina Navarro, a BS Marketing Management from the College of Business & Accountancy (CBA), and JD Hizon, a BS Tourism student from the same college. Ms Navarro got a total vote of 8,828 and Mr. Hizon got a total vote of 6, 389.

Ms. Navarro and Mr. Hizon will compete with the other auctionista contestants on December during the Grand showdown. The other finalists are from the different colleges and universities in Manila including De la Salle University, University of the Philippines-Diliman, San Sebastian College-Recoletos, Adamson University, Jose Rizal University and University of the East.

Angeles University Foundation is the participating university from outside Metro Manila.

SAMASKOM officers and adviser hope to promote the university through the nationwide campus roadshow and model search.
