JPIA Talks presents AMV Scoop: The Unfiltered Journal

Let’s be honest with each other and acknowledge the reality that, without a shadow of a doubt, the world we live in today takes no amount of time for granted. This fast-paced society stimulates motivation that serves as a driving force to attain our aspirations in the least amount of time, wasting little to no resources. Despite being at an advantage for the efficiency that this mindset brings to humanity, it is utterly evident that this process also unleashes darkness and our inner demons— the number one reason why anxiety and burnout prosper.

We often find ourselves halting our feet from the journey we have begun and being stuck at crossroads of choices that give us unlimited possibilities And in this idle time of being stuck, the negativities mentioned earlier are being induced further which makes us lose sight of the essence of being on that journey in the first place In a nutshell, focusing on the “how?” cuts us back from our purpose to our drive: the

why? why?

The statements above generally describe the lives of UST AMV-College of Accountancy students or, at the least, aspiring AMVians because our minds are constantly instilled with fear and doubt brought on by others or personal experiences Instead of sulking around, complaining about the hardships of the AMV life, and allowing the darkness to consume our minds, another option would be to seek out ways to tame these demons in order to clear our heads and get back on track

That being said, the second installment of JPIA Talks, "AMV Scoop: The Unfiltered Journal", is exactly what these people are looking for This JPIAn event held last December 1, 2022, covered everything from debunking accounting myths to giving hot takes on discouraging social media posts to having tips and methods for all UST-AMV degree programs

Numerous misconceptions relatingtoBSAccountancy, accounting as a profession, and the AMVian life were discussed by Maria Allyssa Creencia, Mary Gerachelle Salvatera, and Benedict BrianEmeterio Theyshared common ground as all students did regarding the difficulties, especially in terms of studying accounting subjects and having a social life despite thetime-consumingcourse With this, the succeeding paragraphs relate to the gist of what the speakers havesaid

One of the things that the speakers discussed is the infamous misconception of being a math wizard as a prerequisite for accountancy courses Creenciamentioned, revolves around the idea thatthelengthofhoursand number of handouts students have when it comes to studying in preparation for exams will not guarantee mastery and high scores The line “qualityoverquantity”was constantly iterated by the speakers due to the fact that even if one is answering multiple problems,itdoesnotmean that one really understood thetopic

Lastly, the concept of having no social life or no time for joining student organizationswhenpursuing a program in AMV is just a myth As stated by Creencia,

Accounting Errors: Debunking Misconceptions

As social media is readily available to the public, almost everyone has access to disseminated information found online Information, in this context, does not necessarily mean that it would be of help in motivating people to work hard in pursuit of success Sometimes, posts tend to discourage and weaken the hearts of aspiring accountants by filling their minds with doubts about theircapabilitiesandfearof not having the future that wasdreamtof

It is important to note that despite BS Accountancy being the most sought-after course in the college, it does not deem it as superior to BS Management Accounting and BS Accounting Information Systems Mr Ian Punsalan, the speaker of this segment, mentioned that all three courses offered at UST-AMV are of equal importance and relevance in the general field of accounting

When an AMVian is on the verge of being unsure about the program they have chosen, knowing when to shift or not should be thoroughly considered Punsalan believes that it is critical to determine what's holding you back, consider future circumstances, consider how invested you are in the program, consider long-term goals, explore options, trust the process and timing, and ensure your future self is satisfied with your choice In the end, the chosen path will always be for the person who pursued it
