adhoc’s hush fulfills every desire by Carlo Silvestre
Decagon - Silver City, Ortigas August 30, 2008 was a night to remember as Team Adhoc unveiled HUSH: Listen to your Desires. Doors opened at 8 PM and partygoers were greeted by the whip-wielding Mistresses of Hush, and were then commanded to enter, to be subjected to the Mistresses' three stage plan of unleashing their inner desires. The First Stage was DISCOVER, where the guests were welcomed and asked to shed their inhibitions, with help from our friends from Soberclub and their pick-your-poison bar, and Fotoloco's photo booth. DJs Chester Canlas and Joseph Palisoc then fired up the turntables and everyone got a chance to REVEAL their sexy side, while bumping and grinding to the music. The entrance of the Powercast dancers then captured the attention of the
crowd. One by one they descended from the second level, and took their places on HUSH's main stage. Everyone INDULGEd in the sexy vibe of the final stage of the party, with the performances of the Powercast and Speed dancers and the guests even got to participate in a hot dance off to win one night in Mandarin hotel. Cossack Vodka provided the partyfuel all throughout the night, serving assorted mixed drinks and pure vodka. The night was a real blast and everybody's surely anticipating the next great event from UP JMA. Congratulations for a highly successful event, Team Adhoc! Belated happy birthday to Rog Uy, who displayed the commitment that makes JMA the best.

ready, set, tourbo! by Angela Nuñez
We remember every semester according to its BIGGEST happenings that bring us that rush of memory and nostalgia! This semester will forever be marked as the time of the Most Meaningful Event ever to rock the student-run marketing scene. This year’s Major Marketing Event was beyond major as it was the first ever student-run advocacy and marketing project, promoting our country’s wellness and health tourism. On the 13th of September, the UP Junior Marketing Association Team Major Marketing Event, in partnership with the Department of Tourism, Azta Urban Salon, and Havaianas, held the competition finals for TOURbo Marketing: Boost Tourism to the Next Level at the PICC Complex. Six teams of college students presented their marketing campaigns. In the end, Team PACE from AIT, composed of Carla Villarama, Almira Manduriao, Yvonne Palaganas, Regyn Avena and Paola Valescona, won the cash prize of P20,000! They also featured a Seminar on New Marketing Trends and Techniques with speakers such as Mr. Willy Arcilla, the president of Business Mentors, Inc., Ms. Marie Pascual, the VP for Marketing Communications of Shoemart Inc.’s Department Store and Affiliates Group and Ms. Cathy Turvill, the Vice President of the Spas Association of the Philippines. This magnificently momentous event was made all the more magnificent by the food catered by Via Mare and the snacks from The French Baker. In addition, the magnanimously memorable event was free for the marvelous members of UPJMA. This year’s MME did not simply teach marketing techniques; as a project, it marketed a sense of nationalism to its participants, inspiring their fresh ideas to improve our country’s tourism. Only a team like UPJMA’s MME can use capitalist marketing as a tool in creating a positive impact on society. Brilliant Filipino minds working in the service of the Filipino! How much more major can it get? *For such a superb event, we would like to congratulate the mighty fine UPJMA Team Major Marketing Event for a job well-done! A big, warm “THANK YOU” to our Platinum sponsors: DOT, Azta Urban Salon, Havaianas, Wrangler, our Media sponsors: Studio 23, Jobstreet, The Radio Partners, Inc., ClickTheCity.com, and of course, our Silver sponsors: The Medical City, Manila Hotel, The French Baker. Also, special thanks to M&G, Splash Corp., Goodwill Bookstore, Mundial Marketing Inc. and PDM Press, Manila Ocean Park for your most-appreciated support! If this year’s Major Marketing Event was as superb, brace yourself for next year’s MME!!!

Eden, as a Biblical setting, witnessed the beginning of life, and more importantly, of love. Love was simple in Eden: one man and one woman; one Adam and one Eve. With Eden gone, love has become much more complicated and much harder to find. The search to find one’s Adam or Eve seems to go on forever. On the 3rd night of October 2008, the search will finally come to an end as the UP Junior Marketing Association (UP JMA) and Astringo-Sol Ice Extreme bring you After Eden: The Seach Ends Here, an Astring-o-Sol Dating Marathon.
