MINUTES
1) Seniors Alliance and Blue Roast Announcements (c/o Richard Tee)
a. Seniors Alliance
i. Richard and Thea are automatically part of Seniors Alliance
ii. SA was created due to low number of senior representatives
iii. The ideal composition is as follows: 4 SOM reps, 4 SOSE reps, 2 SOH reps, 2 SOSS
reps; SA currently still needs 1 more SOH & 1 more SOSS rep)

1. Hopefully they can do creatives/branding work
2. The team is meeting on Monday
b. Blue Roast
i. OIC from OSA has already been contacted

based around the school night blasts

iii. Discernment talk for Blue Roast is on the 13th already
1. Already approved by sir Ino
2. JB Capinpin and Andrea Diaz will be there
3. Walk-in applicants will be accepted; if they cannot attend, they should have a
proxy
c. Discussion
i. SA Tokens & team building
1. Tokens last year were paid for out of a Sanggu members pocket; also, the team
was formed through appointments and referrals
2. This year, SA will have applications open to the public; there were a lot of
people who wanted to join last year but couldnt
ii. Why is the discernment talk so early?
1. Sir Ino does not want last years rushing to happen again
2. Last year, VPs council was surprised by Blue Roast since they werent notified
iii. Tap into last years team for Blue Roast
iv. Blue Roast debt?
1. Erased/covered by Maam Julie; this year Blue Roast is starting from scratch
2) Resolution to Legitimize the Seniors Alliance Task Force (c/o Thea Bonifacio)
a. Rationale: Seniors Alliance has been done since 2010; from previous resolutions, theyve
evolved and made task forces per year
i. If there are no senior CBs/Eos the task force should still be there to keep it going
b. SA is there to maintain communication between all schools and to make sure seniors are okay
c. All senior officers and CB are mandatorily part of SA (this is how it has been for the past years)

reps; the CB liaison and Chairperson will make the appointments if needed

i. Yes; also tapped Christine Saavedra & made a group for superseniors
ii. Other slots are to be left open to the discretion of the CB liaison and Chair?

g. Who is the Chairperson of Seniors Alliance?

i. An elected EO will automatically be the chair; they will vote among themselves to
decide
h. Comment from SJC: From the way its written, it feels like its for short-term plans; please
consider that as well
i. Voting on the resolution will be done online
3) ADAA Courtesy Call Report (c/o Thea Bonifacio)
a. Courtesy Call between CAA & Dr. Hofilena
i. Intro to CAA
ii. Plans for the year
iii. Leveling off between CAA & ADAA
b. As usual: handling of concerns RE: professors, reminding students about the magna carta
c. Special projects
i. Infographics to release to the community
ii. Special project (Magna Carta review) with one of the political parties
d. Dr: Hofilena doesnt want CAA just to focus on the magna carta, but also focus on raising
awareness regarding procedures & policies (everything thats in the handbook that people dont
know
i. Ex. Probationary status depends on YEARLY QPI, not CUMULATIVE QPI
ii. IPS changes all departments will be undergoing major program study review
e. Questions
i. Information campaign?
1. One of the problems of ADAA is getting info out to students.
2. Because people forget the basic things, they want to have Sanggu help
disseminate info to students who dont look at their handbooks
3. Comment from Mawe Duque: I find it shallow; as a CB representative in
charge of policies, theres more that you can do
ii. What is the level of involvement of the students with modifications to core curriculum
& IPS changes?
1. So far, only through representative of students to ADAA (Ray Gomez)
2. Dr. Hofilena says talk to Ray about what happens in the core curriculum
committee; ask if they need a student pulse or how they feel about their majors
3. Operationalize: Require core curriculum committee to report
4. SOSE 101 as an opportunity; see how it works, propose it to Dr. Hofilena to
see if it can be done next year
5. Involve students from the very start
a. Ex. Activity hour: why only ask for student input after the decision
has been made?
iii. How are students with probation being taken care of?
1. ADAA gives standards; case by case we give suggestions; afterwards, ADAA
contacts offices (guidance, LSHS, etc.)
2. Propose a system geared towards students rather than admin
a. Student doesnt have a student to talk about it
b. Focus on pulse of students when concretizing the program, less on the
suggestion of the Dean
4) School Board School Nights, ATF, Constitutional Convention Updates

5) Constituent Concern: LIONS c/o Clyde Maramba

a. What does Sanggu plan to do with LIONS?
b. Resolution was made 5-6 years ago; not sure if it was passed
i. The resolution was all-encompassing; what about orgs that dont want to be part of
LIONS?
c. Last years LIONS liaison to Sanggu was Angel Yap
d. What are the processes now
e. Status on LIONS
i. LIONS head? None
ii. COA (Lyka Aguilar) Sees LIONS as under OSA; you become part of LIONS if you
want to recruit during LIONS RecWeek. COA tries to nurture LIONS orgs, especially
if theyre applying for accreditation
1. Problem: Rep doesnt feel any efforts from COA; LIONS feels like it is left
alone
2. Other presidents want to formalize
3. Last year, OSA proposed to remove LIONS from RecWeek; theyre using
COA funds despite not being part of COA
4. This year, COA is taking care of LIONS, but only those who are applying for
accreditation
5. Problem for LIONS orgs who never want to apply for accreditation
iii. Sanggu (Luigi del Rosario) We always have a CB rep; Iesous Hernandez is the CEA
head, please level off with him
iv. OSA never recognizes LIONS
1. Last year, OSA proposed to remove LIONS from RecWeek
f. Suggestion: arrange a group, set a meeting so that Sanggu can coordinate with LIONS
6) InTACT Concern c/o Luigi del Rosario
a. ConCon and ATF are both pushing for a Sanggu 101 module
i. In the past, there have always been modules for student leadership, student activities
and stepping up
ii. Preferably the new module will be a 1-on-1, classroom-to-classroom since plenary
sessions dont appear to be effective
b. Sanggu 101 Question: Who am I as an Atenean student leader?
c. Question to Sanggu: Do we participate in this? If yes, how does Sanggu want to involve itself?
What is the overarching discussion?
i. What is the content that will be delivered?
ii. How will it be delivered? (Will Sanggu send a rep? Will there be a video?)
d. Direct contact for this initiative: sir Arjohn (OSA), Sept 28
i. Under negotiation as ConCon and ATF want it sooner
e. CB: Will we support this or not?
i. If no ConCon and ATF will have it
ii. If yes Talk about objectives; Sanggu can be the overarching topic (ex. Sanggu is the
reason why ConCon/ATF exist; we have to arrive at something like that)
f. Ask Mawe and Shiph for developments; ask political parties on involvement in the module
