MINUTES
1) Privilege Speech c/o Camille Joy Leong
i. Camille is the outgoing Buklod ambassador
ii. She is alarmed by the issues regarding ambassadorship
iii. As ambassador & delegate for 3 years, she knows how to protect the best interests of
Buklod and the Sanggunian

b. Allow Camille to access the applications and to recommend who to
choose as trainees to be ambassadors
c. Keep the applications in full confidentiality
d. Do NOT assure trainees of slots at the next Buklod meeting
i. AdMUs academic calendar shift makes it difficult to assure
Sanggus attendance at this years midyear meeting
ii. Budget for ambassadors is over 10k each; Sanggu does not
have the luxury of sending delegates above the regular
number (3)
iii. Lack of participation in Buklod is not a disadvantage; case in
point, Ray Gomez did well in Buklod despite having no prior
experience
e. Include priority officers in training
f. Should you decide to include trainees in this years Buklod delegation,
you can opt not to subsidize

Buklod resolutions

2) DropBox Implementation c/o Railey Montalan
a. There is a problem of how information flows through the system; its too compartmentalized
b. Theres an obvious lack of transparency between Sanggu units, which is causing more harm
than good
c. We partly address this issue through DropBox implementation
d. Sanggu DropBox is for:
i. Internal file dissemination
ii. Collaboration and transparency
iii. File back-up & management; easier transitioning
e. Internal purposes only
f. Only for the top 52 (SBs, CBs, department chairs, etc.)
g. We need to connect people to the DropBox
h. File management protocols
