118Discussion:
119
Representative Caacbay and Councilor Monje suggested that there be a
120friendly competition in
121cleaning the UPB and surrounding environments up. Such a competition will consist
122of the idea of being
123able to earn the most water bottles and paper.
124
Councilor Monje also suggested that all the issue-based committees join
125together in establishing a photography exhibit, and combine the different kinds of
126photos together into one beautiful picture.
127
Representative Caacbay pointed out that the Freshmen were somewhat the
128main focus of the
129envi week, and questioned if the upperclassmen were not part of the plan.
130
Councilor Bautista, however, replied that since the Envi week would be
131happening during the Freshie week, it is only reasonable to have them be the target
132focus of the week. The upperclassmen will
133have their time as well.

134
Regarding the eco-bags that are to be designed and created during the
135Freshmen week,
136Representative Deus suggested that these bags be auctioned, since last year, the
137bags made were only
138stacked into one place and possibly forgotten.
139
Representative Canlas raised the issue of the trash bins in the CSS, and how
140that there were no
141distinctions for segregation.
142
Representative Bautista supported the issue raised and pointed out that,
143indeed, the trash bins
144must have distinctions, so as to encourage rightful segregations as well.
145
Chairperson Medina reminded Councilor Bautista to stay in touch with the
146VCA, and handle
147Educational Discussions on these.
148
Councilor Monje suggested that there be a forum on the Dos and Donts
149when you are lost at sea, etc.
150
Councilor Bautista favoured this idea and pointed out that that could actually
151be integrated into
152the Helping Mother Nature project.
153
Having no other concerns and suggestions, Councilor Monje moved to adopt
154the SPOA of the
155Environmental Desk Head.
156
The body seconded the motion. No objections.
158 B. Gender Desk Head
159
Councilor Monje admits that he has much more to know and learn about
160gender, and that he is
161certainly most willing to do so. He desires to highlight all genders in his term, not
162only those in the LGBTQ community, but also the others who are outside it. He
163envisions striving to inform everyone about everything there is to know regarding
164gender. He, along with his committee, is planning to work hand-in-hand with the
165Kasarian for gender trainings and other significant events. To have a committee that
166will praise and/or defend the different communities, inclusive of all genders, is the
167goal Councilor Monje aims to achieve.

218End of Presentation
219
220Discussion:
221
Councilor Bautista opened the discussion by asking Councilor Monje to clarify
222the project, Talk on Love and Marriage.

223
Councilor Monje explained that this talk would discuss more about the
224psychological and academic views on love. Why do we need to love? How to prolong
225this kind of love, etc.
226
Vice Chairperson Garcia questioned if there were already speakers for the
227said event.
228
Councilor Monje replied that the Kasarian would most probably have the
229connections needed to
230acquire an eligible speaker for the talks. Also, he shared that he desires to undergo
231several orientations
232himself under the Kasarian.
233
Vice Chairperson Garcia then suggested that for the gender sensitivity
234training, if it would be
235possible that there be more than two members/representatives from each invited
236organization that would come and attend, since the usual two representatives
237sometimes dont get to share all that theyve learned with the organization anyway.
238It is better to encourage more attendance and cooperation in order to achieve an
239even more gender sensitive organization.
240
Councilor Monje then stressed the importance of his plans to include all
241genders in his
242committees campaigns. Not just for the women and gays, but also for the other
243genders alike.
244
Representative Canlas wished to have the RH Law highlighted in some point
245of the term of
246Councilor Monje so as to inform everyone about the Philippine setting of the law as
247well.
248
Chairperson Medina added that a year-long campaign ought to be conducted
249to end gender discri mination, and campaign the anti-discrimination bill. There is a
250need to raise awareness among the UPB constituents, and raise support for that bill.
251
252
Councilor Orbon included that in the event, Ading, Alamin Natin! the different
253issue-based
254committees should join together and help inform the Freshmen about the different
255issues, and help them prepare for the Freshie Night.
256
Councilor Bautista suggested that the photography exhibit be held sometime
257along the beginning of the second semester, so that when the new semester begins
258there would be an array of photos that would welcome students in.
259
Councilor Orbon supported this idea, but pointed out that the start of the
260contest should be on
261December so that if ever the participants were to take pictures, they could do it
262when they go home to
263their respective hometowns, and then be able to take even more unique shots and
264sceneries.
265
Representative Maalihan questioned what the Gender Desk would be doing
266during the Freshie Week, and Councilor Monje answered that there would be the
267photography contest.

268
Representative Maalihan then suggested that a poster-making contest be
269done in exchange of the earlier plan, and Councilor Monje agreed that the plans
270could be made flexible and that the poster-making be made possible during the
271Freshie Week.
272
Having no other suggestions and concerns, Councilor Orbon moved to adopt
273the Gender Desk
274SPOA. The body seconded the motion. No objections.
275
276 C. Freshmen Desk Head
277
Councilor Orbon envisions having an official mobile hotline for the freshmen

283for the purpose of warmly welcoming,
284informing and familiarizing the incoming Freshmen with their home -away-from285home to be.

Councilor Orbon desires to conduct different projects to guide and bring out
287the best in t hem, not only in the aspect of their college life, but also in the areas
288outside it.

429
430Discussion:
431
Regarding the Imbaya project, some concerns were raised by Councilor
432Monje. Such is the fact
433that this project may seem to be too Freshiecentric. However, Councilor Tuguinay
434reasoned that he, too, had the same project in mind and knew that the stated plan
435was truly for the Freshmen. The concern was resolved when both Councilors, Orbon
436and Tuguinay, decided to pursue the Imbaya for the Freshmen, then later propose
437another one for the Upperclassmen as well.
438
Vice Chairperson Garcia commended the Freshie Desk Head for the reality of
439having many
440projects, for there was the issue brought up last year regarding the lack of
441participation on the side of the Freshmen batch 2014, which caused some problems
442for the Freshmen Desk Head then.
443
Councilor Orbon then added that that is one reason as to why the Amazing
444Race would be set on Augustfor the purpose of having more willing and excited
445participants.

446
Representative Bautista questioned if there would truly be a separate career
447orientation for the
448Freshmen, and Councilor Orbon answered yes. However, as the body discussed and
449pointed out that it would perhaps be better if the speakers invited for that Career
450Orientation be invited for the whole
451University to listen to instead.
452
Representative Deus then brought back the discussion to that regarding the
453Imbaya, and
454expressed his desire that the aim of the project not only be a means of mere
455cultural preservation, but the preservation of cultural knowledge.
456
Representative Bautista seconded this and suggested that there be a forum
457first before the actual cooking contest.
458
Representative Maalihan also suggested to make the contest a research459based kind of activity.
460
Having no other necessary concerns or suggestions, Councilor Roman moved
461to adopt the First Year Desk Heads SPOA, and the body seconded the motion
462without any objections.
463
464 D. Indigenous Peoples and Cultural Desk Head
465
Councilor Tuguinay apologized and notified the council earlier that he would
466not be able to
467present his SPOA today with a supporting power point presentation.
468
Councilor Tuguinay proposes to continue raising awareness on IP-related
469issues, especially of
470those in the Cordilleras. To achieve this, he envisions having community exposure
471trips, film showings, and cultural workshops. Cultural jams would be conducted in
472the evening of these workshop days. A Facebook page that would be activated all
473year round will be utilized for the purpose of releasing public materials (pub mats)
474about the different indigenous peoples and relatively significant matters. Multiple
475fun facts will also be posted on the social media sites so as to encourage the
476student body to engage themselves and learn more not only about the Cordillera
477and its people, but also other indigenous groups of people. Such activities may also
478involve week-long related exhibits, orientations and sets of forums which will aim to
479promote the beautiful Cordilleran culture.
480
481End of presentation
482
483Discussion:
484
Representative Deus raised his concern regarding the Freshmen who are still
485minors and the trips that will be taken, but Councilor Tuguinay reassured him and
486the body that the places they will be going to are safe and secure.
487
Here, Representative Maalihan questioned if the project of going to places is
488a free campaign, and Councilor Tuguinay stated that collaboration with different
489NGOs will be done to make it as less expensive as it could be.

490
Councilor Orcales commended the projects that have been presented, but
491pointed out that perhaps there could be other projects in relation with the other IP
492groups other than the Cordillerans.
493
Councilor Tuguinay responded by saying that in the forum that will be
494conducted, perhaps, then we will include the other IPs, but as for the projects we
495cant help but be Cordillera-centric, since we are in the Cordilleras.
496
Having no other necessary clarifications or concerns, Councilor Orbon moved
497to adopt the SPOA
498of Councilor Tuguinay. The body seconded the motion.

504with the administration, the establishment of lockers for the varsity, free tuition fee
505and increased value on the varsity allowances are also part of his desire to
506showcase full support for the universitys teams. Including a new, or quite unfamiliar
507sport to the intramurals and the provision of necessary first aid kits and cheering
508banners are bits and pieces of what he aspires to accomplish during his term. As we
509acknowledge the varsity of our beloved university, Councilor Medina longs to
510recognize our national athletes as well. An SC Sports Fest are also among his

645End of Presentation
646
647Discussion:
648
Vice Chairperson suggested that the sports clinic be held for a longer time
649than the initial two days only. The drinking fountain will cost more in its
650maintenance than in its implementation; continue
651communicating with the Administration for this. Also, provide one night focused on
652the varsity alone so as to communicate with them to keep the fire burning among
653themselves. There is a difference when they would have this event separately.
654
Councilor Orbon also suggested that instead of providing medical kits for the
655upcoming Sports
656related events, why not provide actual medics. Tap the Red Cross for this.
657
Representative Maalihan brought up his concern regarding the reality of
658participation among the constituents, that with so many events, how is the Sports
659Committee going to keep the students
660motivated to join and be excited about the things to come?
661
Councilor Medina considered it a challenge that he would have to take. He
662will tap necessary
663desks so as to help gain encouraged participants.
664
The body raised the concern about the Indoor Intramurals, and the
665participation this will garner. Given that participation in the Indoor Intrams is quite
666scarce, it may be wise not to separate the Freshmen from the Upperclassmen.
667
Councilor Medina reasoned that that is the time wherein organizations and
668even the HKP can start scouting for varsity and Intramurals players. However, it
669was added that such scouting could happen during sports clinics instead.

670
Councilor Orbon moved to extend the open forum for ten minutes, and
671Councilors Bautista and
672Orcales seconded the motion, but for 5 minutes.
673
Vice Chairperson Garcia raised a question regarding the coaches of the
674varsities this year. What
675teams are available, and Councilor Medina answered that as of today, the
676recognized teams were only the Volleyball and Basketball Womens. But for the rest,
677the Committee will continue to find out and strive to communicate with the
678Administration for the addition of other Sports and teams.
679
Chairperson asked about the HKP renovation, and Councilor Medina answered
680that it would take a year of completion.
681
Having no further necessary concerns or suggestions, Representative Baula
682moved to adopt the
683Sports Committees SPOA. The body seconded the motion. No objections.

694suggestions and ideas of the students will be made known and addressed. Such
695consultations will be
696conducted even in the Council of Leaders so as to produce fruitful and meaningful
697events. Orientations
698will be led to serve as the source of knowledge when it comes to the duties and

816request to change the set schedule, since the last day of testing would be on the 9 th
817of December anyway.
818
Councilor Roman desired to resurface the idea of providing volunteer shirts,
819because these may, in a sense, act as motivators too. He recognized the fact that

1147organizations. Laboratory improvements, signage, sanitizers, black curtains for the
1148Physics labs, and other purposes such as optics and chemistry, are those which
1149need to be addressed throughout the term. The shortage of water may be a
1150problem, however, for the meantime, it would be wise to ask for jugs, etc. first. The
