from the College of Business Administration

I congratulate all graduating students of the College of Business Administration and the School of Economics. The recent turmoil in the financial markets underscores important learnings about career and life in general. For one, your concern should not be limited to getting a job alone but, more importantly, retaining it. As companies downsize, there is now a greater need for employees who create value for the firm. Some of you might get jobs that are far from ideal, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be disappointed. Treat it instead as a learning opportunity and a stepping stone towards the job you aim for. These are challenging times, indeed, but I am sure the UP education you are gifted with will allow you to rise to the challenge. Congratulations again and good luck to all of you. Erlinda Echanis, Ph D Dean UP College of Business Administration

Congratulations to Class 2009! The four or five years that you have spent in the University of the Philippines has given you the opportunity to experience the ups and downs that we associate with life. I pray that you treasure and remember all of these experiences, whether they be ones associated with victories and joy or with defeats and sadness. I also pray that, in one way or another, we were able to impart to you the values that will allow you to grow in character even in the midst of future success. I thank the UP Career Assistance Program (CAP) for helping you graduating students prepare for the world outside UP, a world that may put you and all that you have learned both in mind and heart to the test. I wish that your ongoing journey may be filled with what will bring out the best in you. May you find whatever job or endeavor that you will be passionate about and will provide you opportunities to pay it forward as well as give back to the University. God bless you all! Manuel C. Manuel III, MBA, MTM. College Secretary UP College of Business Administration

from the School of Economics

Dear Graduating Students, Job-hunting and college graduation are the two important milestones of your transition to adulthood. Gladly, a UP college education is a good signal as any that you have the ability and perseverance to be a good employee. Sometimes, however, signals like a UP diploma are flawed and easy to mimic. So, you still have to edge the competition. An UPSE degree should give you that edge. Good luck and make the School proud!

Joseph Capuno, Ph D College Secretary UP School of Economics

from the UP CAP Chairperson Marlowe Javier

A Message to the Graduating Students: To all my fellow graduating students of 2009, I would like to offer my sincerest thanks and appreciation for supporting another year of the UP Career Assistance Program. It has always been my hope that, in one way or another, we were able to fulfill our promise of helping you make one of the most important decisions in your life, and that our small contributions through our events, seminars, activities, and other facilities made this decision easier for you. But more than anything, I pray that you were able to feel our passion and energy in striving to make you feel our objective of serving youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a future leader of this country. On our end, I feel that success can only be defined by how well we served you and what ultimately becomes of youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;our client. So with this in mind, I wish you all the success and growth that can only come after being honed and strengthened by this eminent institution, the University of the Philippines. May the knowledge and confidence you gained here in the college ensure your success, and it is my hope that you will share these blessings with the country and with the next generation. Allow me to join you as we look forward to a future that is exciting for all of us.

Marlowe Javier Chairperson AY 2008-2009 A Message to the CBA-SE Administration: To the administration of both colleges, I would also like to thank the College of Business Administration and the School of Economics for the unwavering support and trust that has been placed in the hands of our organization for these past 23 years. I believe that it is this trust that has inspired and motivated our people to continuously offer their best in serving our students, our client companies, and our respective colleges. May this partnership last as long as there will be students who are willing to serve others in the spirit of service and camaraderie with their fellows, and as long as there will be business students who are in need of guidance and inspiration in managing their future careers. Again, thank you and more power to both the College of Business Administration and the School of Economics!

This was clearly manifested when our Bank pioneered the electronic banking revolution in the 1980’s, in much the same way it did when it issued the first paper money in the 1850’s.

marlowe To the Board of Directors of 2007-08: Jen Jao, Rocky Lapid, She San Diego, and Lau Untalan, thank you for leaving us such a strong organization. Your friendship and encouragement were always invaluable to us. Thank you for helping us discover the meaning and significance of serving in CAP. To the current Board of Directors, thank you for your endless support and unwavering passion for this organization. Whatever challenges we faced this year seemed small simply because you were all here with me. You three were my main inspiration in this organization I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. To Sab, thank you so much for always being there as someone not only I but the whole organization could count on. Choosing you as the Logistics Director was definitely one of the best gifts that the former BOD left me. Your organization skills and complete readiness in the face of anything always kept organization afloat. I hope that you stay as cool and composed as you have been this term for the rest of your life, because the strength you emanate is truly one of your greatest assets. Good luck to you always! To Kat, thank you for continuing the culture of excellence in our Marketing Department, and imparting your expertise to the next generation of marketers. Your stunning competence in everything from marketing to decision-making has always contributed to our BODs strengths. Working with you has always been a pleasure and an inspiration. May you have all the success and happiness in life that I know you deserve. To Kikay, thank you for always being there both as a friend and as an orgmate. I think it’s enough to say that you are the perfect Pub Director, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Your focus and determination made much of this organization’s behind-the-scenes work successful. I hope that you stay as ruthlessly competent and professional as you have been in this organization—because what you are really epitomize what CAP work is all about. To Log: RJ, Kim, Beiai, Deirdre, Stan, Ida, Paula, and Teban. Thank you for always being around and for making sure that our events flow smoothly. This team was a particularly strong

chairperson

one and I am very thankful for all the time and effort you have given this organization. I hope your time in CAP taught you something about organization and events management, and I hope that it can only lead to more success in your future. To Marketing: Mico, Majo, Girl, Dan, Kring, Faye, Basti, and Kaye. Thank you and congratulations for a successful year. I think that we couldn’t have asked for a better one given your performance in a year of recession and challenges. Take care of the network you have built, and I hope that whatever you learned here in CAP can lead to your success in the future. To Pub: Czar, Billie, Jopee, Pat, Jaz, Yem, Pia, and Trixie. Thank you for making such excellent work for CAP. I think that our posters and publicity materials were the best-looking and most striking in BA, and our other CAP paraphernalia were the best during this year. To all the staff, thank you for giving your time to this organization. We hope that some of you will come back to join us as Assistant Directors or more next year! To our dear sponsors, thank you for your continued support to our organization and for the students of our two colleges. I hope that we were of some small service to your organizations through our graduates and interns, and we hope for your continued partnership with us. Lastly, to the organization and to the people that made me understand the meaning of service and teaching me the pleasure and fulfillment in offering your work for someone that matters—my fellow students. Thank you graduating students for supporting all our events and activities, may our contribution help you in shining in your careers. CAP your Future!

sab

logistics director

Exactly one year ago, I would have never thought of myself as a logistics director. Coming from the marketing department, being assigned to logistics was a surprise and was a bit awkward at first knowing that I had big shoes to fill. But my love for CAP has no boundaries and so I take on whatever challenge that comes my way.

with you was fun and we got to know each other better. During events your timing is impeccable so I give you the “Lifesaver award”. Thanks to you the event went smoothly. To your staff BJ who helped out in GA, Joy in manning assignments, and Jay in COERS, thank you.

Our term as CAP BOD has surpassed achievements in the past. Though I don’t want to compare, this year a record-breaking 300+ people attended a single event. We could not have done this without the company sponsors, support of the students, and help from our Professors who graciously provide incentives to the students.

Teban. Thank you for helping out in events despite your busy schedule. I know that you have the potential to do great things in CAP. Thanks also to your staff, Q, Mocca, and Czar, who helped out whenever they can so I give you the “Manlypower award”. Deirdre. I admire how you work and seem to find joy in whatever little thing you do for CAP so I give you the “Bubbliest person award”. You’re very efficient in anything that I ask you to do and I hope you can continue serving and loving CAP. Thank you to your staff: Lilia, Diane, and Edgar.

Thank you to our graduating and penultimate students who continuously support our events. Thank you for putting your trust in CAP in helping you find your niche in the corporate world. Companies would not be sponsoring if both BA and Econ did not have such marketable and competent students. To my dearest BOD, I am so lucky to be working with the best of BA. Thank you BOD for trusting in my capabilities, for always being there when I needed help. I have learned a lot from you and I know you guys will go a long way. Marlowe, I really look up to you like an older brother (and I mean really old, joke lang). When there are problems you always seem to find a way to fix it. Even when I’m not sure if things will work out, you always pull it off. Amazing.

Stan. My logistics AD who is always game in anything that I ask him to do. Thank you a million times Stan! I give you the “all-around guy award” for being such a sport. In the future, you should be paid for your hosting skills. Thank you for being there despite your hectic schedule. Thanks to your staff: Mykel, Maelyn, and Billy. Congratulations for winning FINEX!

To Kat, even when we were just marketing ADs, you always stood out and really proved yourself to be the best in everything. I tried to compete with you but you were just so good! Congratulations to the marketing department for doing a great job this year, you have outdone our expectations.

Paula. You started out in the logistics department as staff. Soon you rose to assistant director because of your impressive performance so I give you the “diehard log award”. Thank you for sharing with me your experiences in logistics last year and always finding ways to do things better. Thank you to your staff: Aix, Angel, and Vanna. Kim. I can see how passionate you are with your work. You take the initiative to do things when others are neglectful. I put great trust in you knowing that any task I delegate will be taken care of and accomplished quickly. You deserve the most coveted “Bibbo Kid Award”. I hope that you will continue to love CAP and serve for the students. Thanks to your staff: Archie (pwedeng manpower of the year award), Bea, and CJ.

And to Kikay, your bubbly and perky personality makes work less stressful. But behind that funny laugh is a strict pub director whose OC-iness and wanting everything to be perfect has motivated your pub girls to produce only quality pubmats. And of course, I am entirely grateful for my Logistics Loves. Among all the departments, I can say that logistics has the most diverse, gifted and talented individuals (sorry marketing and pub!). Each one of them is unique and has contributed something worthwhile to CAP. So I take this opportunity to thank them and give them awards! RJ, my Special Actions Coordinator, though I really have no idea what that position means. I give you my “right-hand man award”. Thank you for always being there when I need you, for taking care of BA admin matters and for finding time for CAP despite your busy schedule. Thanks to your staff: Karla, Anbu, and Shaine. Congratulations on winning IRC, I’m so proud of you!

All our events would not have been possible if not for the BA and Econ administration and staff. I would like to thank Sir Capuno and Sir Manuel for always approving our requests for venues, gradlists, etc. To Tita Connie who is always accommodating, as well as Tita Juliet and the other SE101 staff, thank you. How could I forget Kuya Maron and Ate Nelia, as well as Ate Vangie who gladly assists us in CAP events.

Beiai. The “early-bird and owl award” goes to you! Thank you for always coming on time even if calltime is at 7 in the morning. If you’re the first to come in events, you’re also the last to leave (kaya may owl, just had to explain). Thank you for being so dedicated to CAP, I cannot fully express how happy and lucky I am that you are in Log. You are the most OC among all ADs. I will always remember how you labeled everything in the cap supplies box. Our General Assembly and Timezone TBS during the first semester was a blast thanks to your creative ideas! Thank you to Dhio, Pat, and Jo who are always there to support the events.

How time flies! It’s almost the end of our term, but CAP’s service to the students will go on for a long time. As long as the students need us, CAP will always be here. For the incoming BOD, please please take care of CAP and all its members, maximize and utilize their potential. We have high expectations of you so don’t fail us! Pressure much? Just remember, it’s all about service, if you have the passion for it, and willing to sacrifice, then CAP is definitely for you.

Ida. Thank you for being so helpful this year. Doing CAP errands during breaks

Ana Ysabel Soriano Director for Logistics and Internals UP Career Assistance Program

kat I started my year as a Marketing AD during the AY 2007-2008 with one goal in mind: to get Php 100,000 worth of sponsorships for CAP. Being the go-getter that I am, I know I will be able to pull this off. True enough, by the end of the year, I managed to meet this goal, raking in not just Php 100,000, but Php 200,000 for the organization. This year, I made another goal for myself as the Director for Marketing. Since last year’s revenues reached Php 900,000, I told myself and my team that we will push that to a million. And I was confident that we would reach that easily. So when the recent financial crisis hit most of the companies who usually participate in CAP, I was stunned. Several companies turned us down as they found no use in job fairs when they are actually laying-off people. Towards the end of our marketing, I learned to accept the fact that we can never reach my one-million dream, and I won’t deny that I was saddened by it. But when I was on the final count of companies, I realized that despite the economic plague, UP CAP’s marketing team managed to emerge with a proud portfolio of 53 company sponsors—a major feat in this time of crisis. Yes, we did not meet our goal to the last cent, but we produced a decent roster of companies that could offer great careers to our CBA & SE graduates. For this achievement, I am very proud of my marketing team. It is a shame for me to measure your performance by peso. Your sincere hard work and service to CAP is priceless. To Mico, my best SAC, thank you for being very dependable. From the start, you were always willing to assist me with everything we need in marketing, and you can’t imagine how much that means to me, as marketing affairs are not easy to handle alone. I couldn’t be happier that I picked you as my SAC. To Kaye, my former best staff who expectedly turned into a great AD, thank you. Even as a staff, you proved that you can handle your responsibilities well, and I was right to expect that you will skilfully do your duties as an AD and as the head of your own set of staffs as well. So why not be the next marketing director? Kidding.

marketing director

you for sticking to it and working hard to still get sponsors for CAP. Thank you for your genuine concern for CAP and for reassuring me that everything will be alright when you’re the event ADIC. Thanks Fayee, huuuuuuug. To my marketing staffs, I saw how you assisted your ADs throughout our year-round marketing. I always smile with pride and gratitude whenever I see you all scurrying around BA and Econ carrying the CAP phone and talking so formally to sponsors. Your contributions to CAP are very much appreciated. To the logistics department, it awes me how you manage to pull off our events. You’re really the legs of this organization—without our well-executed events, we would be hearing a lot of screaming from our sponsors. To the publications department, I know how difficult it is to do your work, and we admire your patience as we are always late with providing your requirements. Thank you so much. To Sheryl who trained me well to handle this position, thank you very much. You make me feel like I can turn to you anytime I’m having problems with CAP. Marlowe, thank you for being my breather—through panic attacks over my CAP sponsors crisis, through very expensive CMC deals, through event mishaps and rants over ym. You have always been that wall that held the three of us together. Kikay, you’re such a great pub director! You awe me with your overflowing creativity and discipline. I draw strength from you. And your cheerfulness keeps the BOD alive. I will always laugh at the memory of the note you posted in our tambayan. ☺ Sab, you’re wonderful with log! I can’t help but marvel at how you were so quick to adjust from marketing to log. Had I been in your place, our events would have been total disasters. Your skills are admirable. I learned a lot from you.

To Basti, thank you for being my all-around guy. We shamelessly go around BA to gather people when there are no more people left during events. You never complain when we tell you to go up the stage to host yet again. And I love the way you create very beneficial relationships with your sponsors (wink,wink). Good job!

To the whole BOD, I am very thankful for the support that you gave me and the marketing team. Though I am eternally MIA because of other engagements, you were always there to assist me with my responsibilities. Overall, I know we had a great term, because we were able to make the most out of what we have—despite the economic crisis, despite the tight expenses for logistics, despite the shocking OPUS disaster. Haha. Hurrah for us, BOD 2009.

To Kring, my silent worker. I admit that at first, I thought you were too shy for marketing. You have always worked quietly—you never found the need to celebrate every confirmed sponsor with me. But you surprised me with the number of sponsors you were able to get for CAP, and for that, I am very, very thankful.

Cheers to all the graduating students of CBA & SE! All of CAP’s work is essentially for you, Mr. BA, Ms. BAA, Mr. BE, and Ms. Econ. All in the purpose of pure service.

To Danica, my very perky AD, thank you for being the events person in the team. You brought in so much energy when you hosted for INDORS. That was such a power event for CAP, and thank you for being a huge part of it. To Girl, you have been such a wonderful CAP AD. I know exactly how much load you have now in CAP & JPIA, but I never felt that you placed one behind the other. You have always been very responsible, and my trust in your ability never waned. Thank you for your sincere commitment to CAP, Evanor—er, I mean, Girl. (wink) To Majo, my radical AD. You never fail to astound me with your fresh take on things. You introduced CAP to several new sponsors because you never tire to exhaust your marketing list. I can just imagine what pains your sponsors must have gone through because of your pangungulit. And what can I say, it worked. You opened new doors to CAP because of your marketing style. A big hug for you, Majo. To Faye, my forever buddy. I’m sorry your industry didn’t turn out well, but I admire
