8 - School Of Managers Week 2015

This year’s School of Managers week with the theme of A.L.D.U.B. which means Aligning Directions for Unified Business started last October 26 and ended last October 30, 2015. In this event of the A.P.C. the name of school for Accountancy and Business (SOAB) was to School of Managers (SOM). In the duration of this event, I can say it was fun or there were a lot of activities prepared for us SOM students, and what’s more fun is that this event was open for all courses meaning all student of APC are welcome to join and participate in all of the activities.

First in the line of activities of the first day of SOM week was the parade. To walk around Magallanes village was a bit exhausting yet a meaningful activity for the SOM students for through the parade we showed that we are excited and warming up for the prepared activities for us.

The first day of the week was actually a big day for the athletes of SOM for it was the day of some game related to sports. Every course under SOM has only one team which includes a student of SOM from a freshmen to a graduating student, and so as for BM basketball men won its first game. 

The second day of SOM week had a new set of activities lined up but unfortunately I wasn't able to attend the major activities for that day therefore I will just share you what I had done on the third day. On this third day of  the SOM week we weren't able to watch and support  the two representative of BM 151 who participated on the BM team for Badminton but with their faith and trust they have for themselves and for the team the won as the champion and first runner up. I considered October 28 a productive day, well because morning on that day me along with my classmates attended a seminar about Cultural Diversity in Business. On that seminar I have realized that in the real world the members of a specific group, organization, company, or institution will always be diverse. When afternoon came, me and some of my classmates volunteered to facilitate the activity of BMAG which is the running man. Running Man was actually a game thought by the BMAG of APC which is similar to the very known Amazing Race, this game was open for all students of APC including of course our Senior High.

Last but not the least, the fifth day of the SOM week was a blast because this day me and some of my classmates supported and watched the CHAMPIONSHIP for the basketball men's game of BM vs. AC . We really cheered and yell just to support the BM team and of course the two pride of BM 151 ; Nicolo Conta and Mason Davis, and so with pride the BM won as the Champion of Basketball Men. As the clock turns to 6:00 we headed to the auditorium and I think the program started past 6:30, and so as the program started the crowd got hyped and everyone was excited. The parents, friends, and of course the blockmates of every candidate of the pageant were present, each of them looked stunning and fabulous in their clothing and that they gave their best in ramping on stage and answering the questions. The time comes for announcing the Top 3 finalist for both male and female category; there was a Business Management candidate, a Marketing Advertising candidate, and Accountancy candidate for the male category, while two of the Tourism Management candidates and one Marketing Advertising candidate for the female category. The Top 3 finalists were asked with the same question which is in a clear night sky with many stars, being one of the stars how would people or a person notice you as different from the other stars, each of the top 3 were nervous but did well. After showing again the AVPs of the sponsors, announcing of winners or places has come, for the second runner up are Ms. Debbie Dimaunahan of the Tourism Management and Mr. Latrell Sombilon of the Accountancy, for the first runner up are Ms. Jamilah Pecayo of the Tourism Management and Mr. Clark Malon of the Business Management, lastly is the Mr. and Ms. SOM 2015 are Ms.  Jenna Rose Cruz of the Marketing and Advertising and Mr. Karyll Lapuz of the Marketing and Advertising as well.
