The ABC was held in Balay Kalinaw (Seminar Room C), 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. The program was started by a prayer and followed by the opening remarks of Ernest Dominic Buhangin, President. Richmon Tiongson, Communications Committee Chairperson, discussed the House Rules on what behavior is to expect from the freshies as listeners. An interactive talk as introduction was conducted by Sherine Rivad, Personnel Committee Chairperson. “Objectives” was tackled by Jeran Cuarto, Internal Vice-President. A fun Ice-breaker was conducted by Lovely Marie Carranza, E.R. Committee Chairperson. After that, Fay Sinocruz, External Committee Chairperson talked about certain topics that would help freshmen to get through with their college life (i.e., how to beat the college freshmen blues, how to seek academic help, how to manage yout time). A role playing courtesy of the FOPC reps and some of the BOD livened up the serious atmosphere of the room. Nino Paz played the main character of the story with Jeanelle Manalo as her supporting cast. The skit was performed as an introduction to the next speaker’s topic, which is also the main topic of the ABC. Invited speaker Third Bagro, a former USC Chairperson and a member of the UP Student-led Alliance Watch Against Hazing (SAWA), talked about anti-hazing. Certificate and token was given to the speaker after his discussion to show appreciation. Lastly, the program ended with a closing remarks delivered by Jeran Cuarto.
It was not yet over for UP StatSoc to bond with the freshies, so they decided to have lunch together with them. And guess what? It was in the popular Mang Jimmy’s where they ate. The table nearly looked like a feast when the food was served. What’s more interesting? All ate their hearts out as they knew that they won’t be paying for the food. FYI: Thanks to Mang Jimmy, StatSoc got 4 liters of Coke.
