OFFICIAL MEETING

I. Background

a. The NCPAG SG Chairperson requested for a meeting to discuss important

points with the Organizations for NCPAG for Academic Year 2011-2012.

II. Discussion Points

a. Greetings, Introductions and Agenda Flow Discussion

i. The Chairperson welcomed everyone to the meeting. The Internal Affairs

Administrator did a roll call of the attendees. All of the organizations had

representatives except from Samahan Tungo sa Progresibong

Administrasyon (STPA) but it was resolved that Ms. Theresa Carlos, an

Undergraduate Councilor and also a STPA member, would represent the

organization.

ii. The Chairperson introduced the plan to institutionalize the League of NCPAG

Organizations which is headed by Vice Chairperson Desiree Ico. It aims to

have an integrated body that would collaborate plans of the four NCPAG

organizations towards a more thriving tie-up projects and a harmonious

NCPAG community.

iii. Mr. Edward Jayson San Juan of CIRCA proposed to change the flow of the

agenda. The Chairperson affirmed to prioritize agenda items 1, 2, 3, 4 and 9

because of time-constraint but remaining agenda will be discussed thereafter

if time permits.

b. NCPAG Student Government Organizational Structure

i. The Chairperson discussed some pertinent provisions in the NCPAG SG

Constitution, i.e., empowering not just the elected Student Council Officers

but also the batch officials in pushing through projects. Batch representatives

may sit in on Student Council meetings as ex-officio members (but has no

voting power). Their role is to ensure maximum participation of their

batchmates in council’s and college’s events.

ii. The need to amend the constitution was also brought up to the meeting in

which the Student Council will create an adhoc committee lead by the

Chairperson and composed of some SC officers and other NCPAG students

that will deliberate its vague provisions.

c. PAkilala

i. PAkilala, a freshie/shiftee orientation, was originally set on June 20, Monday.

Members of the body, however, questioned the date of orientation because

having no regular classes on a Monday might imperil full participation of the

students.



OFFICIAL MEETING

ii. Socio-academic Affairs Administrator Bea Achacoso said that it depends on

how intense and effective the publicity strategies are. Internal Affairs

Administrator suggested basing it on the schedule with the lower PA subjects

so that new students would be in the college that will enable them to attend

the assembly. Chairperson Jules Guiang added to seek the support of PA 11

class handlers as well as the CPAGE to require the students to be there. It

was then put forward to have the Library Tour (usually done during the first

week of PA 11 classes) as part of the PAkilala Programme.

iii. It was resolved to choose between June 20 to 24 as the final date of the

orientation and disseminate its programme at least a week before so the

organizations will have an ample time to prepare for their 15-minute

presentation.

d. NCPAG Month

i. The Chairperson introduced the project of the Student Council named

“Makialam”, a series of forums which will be conducted every month by the

Student Council and/or NCPAG organizations/other college student councils.

It aims to make the students aware of the socially relevant issues while

gauging them on different perspectives.

ii. Ms. Karen Justine Solomon of PAGDUMALA raised their concern regarding

their foundation week celebration which will coincide with the NCPAG Month.

They requested to own the 3rd week of July while STPA on the 1st week,

CIRCA on the 2nd and PALS on the 4th week.

iii. Basing it last year, the NCPAG administration gave a two-thousand budget to

each organization for the kick-off exhibit and free use of facilities for NCPAG

Month-related projects.

iv. The Chairperson is tasked to e-mail Dean Edna Co about the final schedule

of the NCPAG Month for organizations to prepare and finalize calendaring

their events.

v. Mr. Edward Jayson San Juan asked the council about any other collaborative

projects of the Student Council with the orgs. They pronounced their

willingness to help the Student Council as long as it won’t be at odds with

their org’s project and given at least 15-day notice.

e. Code of Student Conduct Review

i. The NCPAG Student Council, together with the Law Student Government, is

tasked by the University Student Council to review Article 7 of the Draft Code

of Student Conduct.



OFFICIAL MEETING

ii. A contentious provision was raised by Socio-academic Affairs Administrator

Bea Achacoso such as having no student representatives in cases like

academic dishonesty.

iii. The body left the issue to the Adhoc Committee to be created by the NCPAG

SC that will conduct the thorough study of Article 7 of the student code.

f. Any other business

i. The 1st General Assembly of the NCPAG Student Government is tentatively

scheduled on the afternoon of June 23rd.

g. Date of next meeting

i. The 2nd official LNO meeting is set on the afternoon of June 13, Monday, last

day of registration period.
