LOOK CRUZ TALKING

NEW EXECOMM I LOOK for-ward to a very interesting year with you guys. Aside from past experiences, Kitkat Marie's motherly instincts, Gucci's council room dominance, Gianna's brains & personality, Irene's pub loyalty & extensive use of tumblr (sign of creativity 'yan, guys), Marc [Marie]'s pas-sion for fin (summer pa lang naririnig ko nang sumisingil), Zion Marie's obvious love for everything externals, and Vhet Marie's big big love for the org will make OBEM even better. Good luck to all of you and let's all help each other next year :) See you at Plansem! Let's all have fun this school year!

dela Cruz Breakeven Editor-in-Chief, AY 09-10

What does the presidency mean to you?

[The presidency] is never a title or something

to boast about. To me, it is the greatest privi-

lege to serve the people I have learned to

love and accept throughout my stay. If I

could only do the same service even if I am

not president, I would most gladly do so.

However, you can undoubtedly do much

more for OBEM in the Execomm and that is

the road I took. This last year, I want to give

it all and now, I could give it all for OBEM.

This presidency is me offering my entirety,

merits and flaws, and a giant leap from my

safe zone. What could possibly be a better

way to end college, right?

What does OBEM mean to you? I hope

what I said (in the previous question) reflects

what OBEM means to me. I can only imagine

myself rotting in the library, waiting during

my three-hour break in between classes

without them. Haha! Seriously, OBEM taught

me a lot about life and academics and friends

and all. It is the reason why I love being in

Econ. It is the reason why I love being a BE

major. It is the reason why I love being me.

Cheesy, it may seem. But, I desire to offer my

love and service the most to those who also

loved and served me in my lifetime.

What can members expect from the

OBEM Executive Committee AY 10-11? We

cal’t assure everymle tgat we whll nrmduce

the biggest & most successful events. How-

ever, we as an Execomm desire to hear out

[our members] and reach out more. [We

want] an organization truly led by the mem-

bers. This batch of Execomm will definitely

strive to bring OBEM back to stable grounds

and hopefully, build up again the passion of

the members. The year will be hard, but as

long as everyone trusts & willingly helps, we

believe we can all work this out. OBEM Exe-

comm 10-11 would definitely never quit

(because of our oath! Kidding!).

Will you implement any changes?

Changes still need to be ironed out during

Plalsek ald tgrmugg kekbers’ hlnuts. But

definitely, there are issues that need to be

addressed tm jeen us gmhlg (h.e. kekbers’

participation, org structure, etc.). We do

hope that everyone becomes involved and

informed about these [things], because at the

end of the day, the members are the ones

wgm whll be affected. ald sm, whtg everymle’s

help, we hope to arrive with a decision

bacjed un by everymle’s cmmnerathml..

Shout out! To OBEMers around the world:

I hope every OBEMer around the world sees

what OBEM has done for them and may they

continually reflect on the impact of OBEM in

their lives. Sometimes, we get too preoccu-

nhed whtg mur careers tgat we dml’t get tm

look back and see those things that paved the

way to where we are now. I hope in every

way they can, they remember that this little

org still exists and hopefully, preserve ties

with the org. They are also very free to do-

nate! (Hahaha!)

Seriously, your stories mean a lot to the

org, as inspirational forces, and OBEM would

be very happy to hear and sit a while with

you guys. While you guys are building ca-

reers, OBEM would definitely be building

bases to become an organization looked

upon in the whole of UP Diliman. Watch out

for that! :D

By the way, what are you doing this sum-

mer? The usual stuff. Bakery work! Hoping to

fhld al hlterlsghn but lucj’s lmt yet ml ky

side. and never forget, the OBEM stuff. :) P.S.

I hope me and my thesis partner can also

start reading journals for our thesis!

itkat is sweeter than her chocolate namesake & baked goodies combined. Though often considered the silent type, her passion for OBEM resonates through her actions. Her heart & determination are what make her a true leader. K

PRESIDENT SELECT. Cabiles with AY 2009-

2010 OBEM President, Jay Torrenueva.

SIMPLY

AD VICE GANDA

Gucci Diamante captains the sponsorship ship with one mis-

sion in mind: Bring home the (marketing) bacon!

What does being the Executive Vice

President mean to you? [Being the] Ex-

ecutive Vice President is service and

leadership.

What does OBEM mean to you?

OBEM is my college life and family.


OBEM Executive Committee AY 10-11?

Expect an Execomm that leads by exam-

tential. So OBEM,

LET”S ALL JOIN AD-

marketing directors the chance to make

their own marketing letters. I also want

to implement a marketing buddy system

sm ht wml’t be bmrhlg wgel ymu karjet hl

the council room because you have your

marketing buddy to accompany you. :)

Actually, all the changes that I want to

implement are written in my SPOA but

basically the changes are aimed to make

a more fun Adhoc and an Adhoc that is a

good training ground for its members.

Shout out! Hi OBEM! (Wow! Comm

EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT


O

What does being Vice President for

Academic Affairs mean to you? Being the

VP for Acads is the result of people trust-

ing me. I won't break that trust. I'll do

my best because you all made the right

choice! GO Acads! GO OBEM!

What does OBEM mean to you?

OBEM is my family here in the UP. Siya

[ang] nag-aalaga sakin sa college. and

now as a member of the Execomm, I'll

take care and protect OBEM para naman

marami pa siyang maalagaan na mga

taong tulad ko sa darating na hen-

erasyon. Just like a real family, I'd hate to

see it fall apart so I'll do my best to keep

it whole.


OBEM Executive Committee AY 10-11?

An Execomm na approachable with a

happy-friendly vibe. Our enthusiasm will

be INFECTIOUS! You'll feel it up to the

tips of your fingers! But seriously, with

everything that has happened, siguro ex-

pect an Execomm that will hold on until

the very end. WE ♥ YOU ALL!

What can members expect from next

year’s Acads Coppittee? NO OBEMER

LEFT BEHIND: All members shall be CS

and US this year. Joke! We'll do our best

to help the members in their academics.

Exnect al Acads tgat’ll be tgere tm asshst

you sa long & harrowing UP life mo.

We'll try our best to make things easier

for you para maka-graduate ka na fresh

& pretty pa rin at hindi mukhang panda

or nasalanta ng bagyo. We'll also be or-

ganizing fun & exciting events that will

promote awareness sa nangyayari sa

Philippines at sa world na related sa

business & economics! Mga astig na BBC

at CNN level of awareness ang paguusa-

pan natin ng masinsinan! Pero syempre,

Acads won't be nerdy! We'll be smart yet

sizzlin' hot & SEXY!

Will you be implementing any

changes? Yes. When organizing events,

we'll make it like Eco-no-mix, meaning

that there are main project coordinators

(PCs) and sub PCs. This would hopefully

help lessen the

work-

load of

each

indi-

vidual

in an

event because the work will be distrib-

uted. But honestly, for this to be success-

ful dapat super bonded ang members

kasi paano yun kung ang dami niyo

nang PCs sa event tapos hindi naman

kayo naguusap? Eh di magkakagulo lang

dahil walang coordination. Kaya naman

gagawin naming bonding activity ang

pagaayos ng sample exams (samplex).

Mag-bo-bonding kami over samplex fix-

ing. [Aside from that] we'll be doing a lot

of fun things together. ACADS, be ready!

Our bondings shall range from chaka

bondings (i.e., jogging sa oval) to sosyal

bondings (i.e., snorkeling sa Tubbataha

Reef). Mag-fu-fundraise din kami ng

bongga all-year round.

(Continued on page 15) ALL’S WELL

WITH GIANNA-BELLE. Abello strikes a pose,

ready to face Mishkin, Perkins

et al.

THE

ACADAME

ith sunshine following her wherever she goes, Gianna will certainly bring a new light and energy to the or-ganization. Her charm, fidelity to duty and dedication will bring the Acads Committee to the next level. W

Gianna Abello mixes the

perfect combination of

brains, beauty and of

course, business.

VP FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS


ne of the most calm & com-posed people

ymu’ll ever keet, Zion rarely breaks a sweat. Her patience is long, her vigor is palpable and her

spirit is infectious. If Adidas needs an en-

dorser for their “Iknmsshble hs lmtg-hlg” caknahgl, sge should be first on their speed-dial.

EXTEND

What does being the Vice President for External Affairs

mean to you? Being a VP for Exte is a great, great responsibility.

While the demands of the job seem too overwhelming for me, I

find that taking this opportunity to serve OBEM is my way of

sharing with other people the opportunity to shine and to in-

spire others, OBEMers and non-OBEMERs alike, to be an active

helper in developing society. :)

What does OBEM mean to you? OBEM to me is home. Here,

I have found some of my most cherished people. It's also an

avenue for learning and growth.

What can pepbers exqect frop next year’s Exte Coppit-

tee? This past year has been very good to our committee. I be-

lieve I am right if I say that we have achieved so much this

school year. And for me, the next best thing we can expect

from our committee is that we continue the burning passion in

order to shine more and BE more!

Will you implement any changes?Changes? Hmm. None that

I cal tghlj mf. Well, agahl, ht’s because I elvhshml al Exterlals

Committee that will continue soaring higher and keep getting

better. Surely, you won't be missing that Extereeemeely HOT

vibe of the EXternals Committee!

ROSE TO THE OCCASION. Ramos is all smiles as she

prepares for a jam-packed year. In Zion, we trust.

YOURSELF

Zion Ramos pushes boundaries and goes

beyond the limits.

VP FOR EXTERNAL AFFAIRS


O

INTE BACK

LOVE

What does being the Vice President for Internal Affairs mean

to you? It was VP Inte or nothing. I really wanted to have that

chance and opportunity to do more for OBEM and its members.

I've felt that it was my calling. Though may target talaga akong

makatrabaho kaya ako nag-Inte. (Half-meant ito.) Noon pa

lang, sobrang gusto ko na mag-serve sa members. Feeling ko

sobrang mahal na mahal ko sila. kaya wala na akong ibang

kinonsider kundi VP Inte.

What does OBEM mean to you? Pwede mo na ngang sabihin

na "I'm in a relationship with OBEM" since sa kanya lang na-

man ang oras ko at walang araw na hindi ko siya naiisip.

What can members expect from the OBEM Executive Com-

mittee AY 10-11? Expect an EXECOMM for the members. Every

decision, we'll be considering the welfare of our dear OBEMers.

We'll be as transparent as possible. ONE loving Execomm for

OBEM and OBEMers.

Will you implement any changes? Not so much of change, but

we promise to be more efficient and more affectionate. LOL.

Shout out! OBEM, [I] don't have much to say. Hope this is

enough: I Trust and Love You.

VHET ON IT. Pena, always proud to be an OBEMer is a sure-win bet. Indeed, she is the queen of our hearts. eeping such a

diverse group of people

united as a family is not an easy task but if anyone is fit for the challenge,

ht’s Vget. Sge hs fm-cused, level-headed & compassionate, making her the

perfect madre de familia.

VP FOR INTERNALS

WAY

Vhet Pena devotes herself to the org and keeps

the passion alive.

K


What does being the Vice President for Fi-

nance mean to you? Being VP for Fin means

being the daddy to future Fin mems, being the

mother/financier for a family called OBEM, and

being a brother to my co-Execommers all at the

same time.

What does OBEM mean to you? OBEM is

my family and life here in Econ. :-)

What can members expect from the OBEM

Executive Committee AY 10-11? OBEMers can

expect a new breed of Execommers with fresh,

new, bold ideas!

What can pepbers exqect frop next year’s

Fin Committee? Expect the unexpected! HAHA!

Will you implement any changes? Yes, I will

definitely be implementing some changes in the

Finance committee. First is regarding the com-

mittee's structure & the different roles of each

Fin member (from VP to Director to PCs). Next,

I will add and remove some fundraisers to the

current event line-up. Lastly, as I have said in

my SPOA, the Finance Committee shall now be

the one to set the budget for each event/activity.

Shout out! OBEM, I love you! :) To the future

Fin mems: I'm gladly welcoming you to the fin-

est, fiercest committee around the block. We

shall make OBEM a gazillion times richer! Joke!

But kidding aside, thank you for choosing Fin!

And, I guarantee you that you and I are going to

have a blast this coming semester!

VP FOR FINANCE

What can members expect from the OBEM Executive

Committee AY 10-11? We, as the new Execomm, want to

sthll ungmld tge “fakhly” value we lhve by. Tm be able tm

do this, we want the members to be part in the planning

process of our activities, that is, through the Plansem

with the members. Here, we will be able to know what

activities the members want to pursue and all the con-

cerns the members want to air out. Also, we want to

have closer ties with our Internals Committee, especially

during planning and updates about the organization, so

tgey wml’t feel tgat tgey are iust tgere tm rekhld tge

members with stuff to do or errands to run during ac-

want to have bonding with my members from the start

checking of inventories and delegation of tasks will be

implemented to avoid losses and to ensure that all mem-

bers are doing their job.

Shout out! My message will just be simple: Always

(and never fail to) LOVE OBEM, and it will surely love

you back. Be dedicated and passionate with what you do,

ald ymu’ll surely gm a lmlg way.

PUBSOLUTELY FABULOUS Irene Endaya shines as she ushers in rainbows, sparkles

shml whll surely lead lext year’s nub hl tge

What does being the Vice President for Publicity and

Communications mean to you? Well. PUB really is my life

here in OBEM. From the very beginning, ever since I was

an applicant, I have held PUB deeply in my heart. ♥ Now,

behlg tge VP, ht’s really a great gmlmr tm be servhlg ht ald

make people see how dedicated and passionate I am to this

committee.

What does OBEM mean to you? As for OBEM, college

kade selse tge kmkelt I imhled tghs mrg. If I dhdl’t imhl

OBEM, I would probably see myself as a loner, spending

my whole days in the library with no true friends to hang

out with. I see OBEM as my 2nd family, the one I can

share even my most insane ideas to, the one where I am

able to improve myself, realize my skills and believe in

what I am capable of doing.

What can members expect from the OBEM Executive

Committee AY 10-11? We, as the new Execomm, want to
