MBS3

I was really thankful for attending MBS3. My horizon was expanded during the event for its my innate desire to become a famous blogger. Glad that Mike Abonitalla encouraged me to attend. As the Vice President for International of JCI- Kagayahaan Gold, it is one of my duties to expand linkages to other organizations that was why i vehemently count myself as a delegate.

I really learned so much from the speakers.
AM- Sayang lang i was late, i did not hear from that lady – Deputy Chief of Mission, Ms. Leslie A. Bassett of the US Embassy. To Atty. Adel Tamano, where he had shown that Mindanaoans can be great leaders in any field of endeavor. To Hon. Plaza, who was campaigning for political positioning of the 5 senators who represent Mindanao, that we can attain economic partiality.
PM-The afternoon sessions was worth taking down notes with ( Madam Tiny dont worry ill create a soft copy for the org). Making a blog online is not just to monetize but a passion-driven endeavor. Thanks to Mam Janet who expound the power of blog to create a network or Tribe for creating positive change.

PBA

Honored as the award title holders that i witnessed the prestigious Phil. Blog Awards. I was touched when Bariles from Socsargen Bloggers, as he cried during his speech. Blogging is not merely writing or creating a flatform online just to catch attention or creating residual income but a mission to spread information that can shape our community forward and to bring and give pride as a Filipino.
Congratulations to Past President Mike Abonitalla for garnering the Best National Business Blog – www.negosyoideas.com… we are proud of yah…..

It was my first out of town experience with JCI. Excited to fly over to a new personal exploration…Palawan, one of the dream places i wanted to go. The venue of the place was my main purpose why I booked for an early promo months ago.

Really, it was a week of whole package of fun. Seeing the wondrous nature tourism Palawan has to offer. Meeting new people from other chapters, while having fun in nightly fellowship(Yeah! Partyyy!! ). Exposing myself to the activities and protocols such as The Plenary, Temiong Awards and the Presidential Ball.

I was a baby JCI for 3 years. I am glad that i decided to be an active member this year. I do believe that this year will be a benchmark for maximizing my participation and allow myself to grow in many areas of my persona while doing service to the community.

I was struck by the Valedictory Address of JCI Sen. Fulbert Woo, when he took words from the poem of Mother Theresa -* Do It Anyway. He expressed that we should continue to do goodness even if others are not to us – it is a hard thing to perfect but do it anyway…. The National Convention gave me a wider scope of what the organization is deemed for its existence. JCI is a venue where young leaders are molded to be with commitment, conscience and compassion.

Committed to serve rather than to be served, a leader should be a great server before he is recognize and respected as an authentic leader.

Doing things with conscience, being responsible of what you impart to others, such act or word shown to others – if it is righteous and justifiable. With the theme:” Be Better: Protecting Environment through Active Young Professionals and Entrepreneurs,” JCI should always wave the banner imprinting love Mother Earth and explicitly live with it.

Always be compassionate to those who are less fortunate, that we prioritize our endeavors towards community service.

With all our yearnings from the National Convention, may we always live with the JCI tagline for this year and continue to transcend mediocrity – Be Better!

The National Convention is one of the most-awaited affairs that highlight an extensive lavishness of programs for the year. An annual gathering for JCI members nationwide, which gives them the opportunity to come together and, for four days, fully experience the privileges of what the movement has to offer.

The JCI started  in the Philippines because of a crying need of the postwar years – the need for an opportunity by which the young men could find their own niche in society and serve the community, the need of an effective medium by which they could show their elders what they can accomplish by themselves and, in the process, gain valuable training and experience for their future role in our nation.

On Friday, February 11, 1949, the first national convention held in the Fiesta Pavilion of the newly rebuilt Manila Hotel and was attended to close three hundred young JCI members from the twelve newly established JCI local organizations in the country not only to celebrate the culmination of a year of successful achievements, but also to exchange ideas for fostering the work they so auspiciously started.
