MINUTES
1) Decision Matters
a. Resolution awaiting approval: Christian Dy's stand on the Lumad issue.
i.
Camille Joy Leong will still have her input.
ii.
Discussion prolonged until September 27, aiming release on Monday,
September 28.
2) SOH IPR Bill
a. A resolution to institute an IPR Task Force was created by Ejay Domingo
and Koko Quilatan. A prior initiative by both SOH and SOSS. This was part
Quilatans platform, among other platforms in the past. In the past, there
had been many initiatives to solidify the SOH Sanggunians stand. The SOH
School Board has been very consistent in asserting its stand on IPR.
However, it has been inconsistent in regards to its actions.
b. Essence: To create a Task Force that will consult with different stakeholders
and experts to establish the protection of Intellectual Property Rights in the
Loyola Schools. Which would not be limited to Literature or Written works,
but will also be zoning in on to Visual IPR's (due to plagiarism of
promotional materials in the past). Establish parameters to make people
accountable in their violations of IPR.
c. The Student Handbook lists sanctions on academic plagiarism, but none on
Visual IPR. A Task Force based on consultations and research, to spread
general awareness to the LS Community.
d. Applications: Calls for a Task Force Head will be opened, to be deliberated
by the SOH School Board and by the Central Board. Initial
recommendations are from SOH, but plans to open it for general populace
are on the way.
a. Bonifacio: Remove line on School of Humanities School Board
recommendation. To avoid it appearing exclusive to SOH.
b. Montalan: Is it only for this year?
c. Quilatan: Not yet sure on the longevity of the Task Force, it will
depend on the consultations if this will be a department or a CB
Committee.
d. Montalan: Every year, Seniors Alliance is instituted via a resolution.
e. Del Rosario: The suggestion on talking to other schools is a good idea
since SOSE is also looking into it. Consider having a delegation,
similar to what ConCon has done.
3) SSS Updates
a. First wave of applications is done.
b. Breakdown:
i.
Number of accepted applications under advocacy: 10 out of 18
applications.
ii.
Number of accepted applications under academic: 9 out of 11
applications.
o 2 from SOH
o 7 from SOSE
c. On projects, half went to one organization.
d. Panelists:
i.
SOH - Mike Luanzon (student), Roy Tolentino (professor)

ii.

SOSE - Marcel Villanueva (student), Joaoie Pascual (student), Henson

Lee (professor)
e. Panelists:
i.
Amount to be subsidized: P165,674.00
ii.
Breakdown:
o Advocacy: P76,800.00
o Academic: P88,874.00
iii.
Amount that can be subsidized for the second wave of applications:
P299,327.00

f. Others apply in the second wave (e.g.: SOMBA, SOSS, etc) Theres still a
lot of budget for academic, not much left for advocacies. 10 more
applications can still be accommodated. Second wave applications
tentatively scheduled on December, results to be released on the second
semester,
g. Del Rosario: Come up with an effective strategy for proper dissemination. If
a candidate wins, get a representative for your team.
h. SSS is waiting for DIA if they assign any. The team is running smoothly even
if they are just three in the team.
i. On the panelists: It will depend on their response if they are still willing.
The professors are okay in becoming a panelist since they cannot
participate in sit down meetings due to their schedule constraints. By
having the deliberations done online, the professors are more open to
becoming panelists.
j. Deliberations will start: A week after. For Financial Procedures, Ma'am
Julie of OSA will be helping. The MOA with on SSS applicants is still being
written.
4) INAF Student Representatives
a. Last Wednesday, September 23, a courtesy call with ADSF was held on a
prospect for having a more instituted INAF student representative
committee.
b. Current Integrated Ateneo Formation Representatives:
i.
InTACT Railey Montalan
ii.
NSTP Ejay Domingo
iii.
JEEP Chris Yu
iv.
Praxis Richard Tee
c. Proposal by Dr. Guevarra: Have a more established/continuous rep. Usually
the rep is a year above. But what he wants is have one from the current
year to know current concerns. Next year, the representatives from the
same year will be staying.
d. For SIP, one more rep is needed. Richard Tee is currently handling it, as he
is under Seniors Alliance for ADSA and OSCI.
e. Suarez: I'll tap the 4 SOM reps, since they are currently underutilized.
f. Montalan: I need a new person to coordinate w/ ADSF.
g. Current Committee on Formation Services Representatives:
i.
LSOGC Richard Tee
ii.
LSOPCS Chris Yu

d. Del Rosario: Isn't it a SOM Department initiative?

e. Suarez: SOM Week is a partnership between
Sanggunian and COA, in partnership with SOM
Department.
f. Vinzon: If this is partnership, something should be
shouldered.
g. Suarez: There are lots of attendees, as all are
represented.
h. Del Rosario: Have you considered Singson Hall in
AGS?
i. Suarez: The venue has already been reserved.
Law School Project
1. Subsidizing their Transcript of Records for Law Schools.
P150 pesos each for Law School applicants.
2. There is a large turnout of interested applicants (due to the
Law School Series event).
3. Christian Dy: If you are only covering P150.00, it is not
really felt as such by the students.
4. Vinzon: Reimagine the project, then bring it up again to us.
SOMBA Bazaar
1. Two bazaars, one in Zen Garden, the other in Rockwell.
2. Suarez: We were consulted by SOMBA students. They want
financial aid for bazaars since they are required to attend.
3. Vinzon: What do you think of having subsidies through SSS?
4. Dy: Streamline it to SSS.
5. Why is the money not coming from SOM, if they are the
ones requiring this event to students?
6. Suarez: The department is tight on their finances.
Thesis Printing Subsidy
1. P150.00 per thesis groups (around 100 groups)
2. Vinzon: This is okay.
SOMBA Integration Program
1. Training/workshop program.
2. Vinzon: Will not be approved until this is explained.
Career Fair Workshop
1. Vinzon: Partnering with LSOPCS, briefer on how career fair
works.
2. Bonifacio: How is the partnership envisioned? Isn't there an
existing student arm? It may be redundant.
3. Del Rosario: Collaborate with the student arm. Level off
first.
Recommendations:
1. SOMBA Bazaar, redirect to SSS.
2. Reimagine the Law School Project.
3. SOSE Chair: Have me talk to Ma'am Pindy, with your
collated concerns.

b. DIA
i. RegCom Talk (retroactive budget proposal).
ii. Conclusion: Receipts will be collated again.

i. P15,000.00 Approved prior budget

ii. Requesting for an additional P1,500.00 for Late Fee and
P1,000.00 Rush Fee.
iii. Conclusion: Not approved, unless explained and justified.
d. DEA
i. P5,000.00 Operational budget (transportation)
ii. Conclusion: Not to be approved. Follow the format in the finance
kit, justify the transportation expense, follow the cap cost.
e. SOSS
i. P3,000.00 Mental Health Awareness Month
ii. In partnership with Ateneo PEERS for help on information
campaign. Budget requested for flyers and posters.
iii. Conclusion: Not approved until revised.
f. Conclusion for Budget Hearing:

sophomore talk.
ii. On DIA: Fix the report.
iii. On ATF: Justification on expense.
iv. As much as possible, have someone from unit present during
budget hearings, especially for those asking for budget.
6) Election Efforts
a. Computations of major stakeholders to make quota:
b. With six stations, 20 votes per station per hour for the full 5 days.
c. On suggestions: Going through the Constitution/Electoral Code, we cannot
campaign for candidates, however we can raise awareness about the
political parties, and on the Sanggunian elections. Elected officers are not
allowed to man the booth, and not allowed at least three meters by the
voting station.
d. Efforts: To want extent are we willing to help, specifically on physical help.
Social media can only go as far. We can release whatever promo we want,
but it will not be as effective unless we do something physically.
e. Dy: Inform people on the elections via room to room, not to encourage them
to vote.
f. Suggestions:
i.
Divide and conquer. Carmela and Jurel will be taking charge of
SOSE.
ii.
Ejay and Koko are planning to get point persons per blocks in
SOH.
g. Del Rosario: Increased Sanggu physical presence during election. Sanggu
colors/Sanggu shirt perhaps next week? I'll talk to Dr. Totanes to have the
wallpapers in the CTC/Rzial Library computers contain Sanggu promos.
h. Have DIA coordinating the block/course representatives on elections.
i. Vinzon: This will not work unless someone says I will do it.
7. Other Concerns
a. Janine Lladaran from The GUIDON: May I ask if Sanggu is still pushing for
subsidizing student political parties? It was discussed in the meeting last
September 5.
