To the Officers of AMSTUD and Mr. Al James Untalan,

6:25 pm of February 17, 2012, I was told that there will be a formulation of an ISA

organization. I was very happy and nervous at that time because it will be a door for the ISA

students to be able to be EFFICIENT  student leaders, on the other hand, I’m af raid that I might

not reach what is expected of me to do.

As time passed by, we’ve experienced a lot of difficulties but those didn’t stopped us

from working hard. We showcased to DLSU what we are capable of, like the US Election Watch.

We are not yet an org that time but still we were able to do it and it “wow-ed” the Lasallians,

even the USG officers.

Enough with the flowery words, I don’t want to surprise all of you about this letter. I

know that we are all busy with other important stuff, more important than this, but I think that

I need to do this as early as now because we need to submit already the documents (including

the final list of officers of the organization). I don’t want to be the “pa-importante or epal”

person here, but the thing is, I’m also a student, I’m not a robot. I have emotions too. 

My reasons of leaving the organization are too confidential, but I’m willing to tell each

and every one of you my reasons, personally. It’s very hard for me to leave, but I think it’s the

right thing to do. If my memory serves me correct, this is the 3rd

  time that I’ve made a

resignation letter, and the 1st

 two weren’t submitted because I had doubts, if I will continue this

or not. I’m the type of person who loves to work. It’s very okay for me to work, but I believe

that I’m not in the position to work that hard. I believe that the Vice President is the “chill -est”

position.

NO. ACG is not the reason why I’m leaving. I can handle them both. I survived the

enrollment rants while doing AMSTUD work. Guess what, how come I never get tired of 

working under that unit/organization? It’s because we are ALL working hard EQUALLY. The

weight of the job depends on the position. To be an EFFICIENT student leader, you need to be

INSPIRING  enough.

This is very difficult for me to say this, but it is my deepest regret to inform you that I

have decided to resign as the Executive Vice President of the Organization for American

Studies. I will still do the paperwork for our May31 event, but I will just put the name of Jomaro

Manuel as the project head. Kindly go to school on Monday those who are in-charge of signing.

J(orald, Sheila, Maro and Kuya Brent)

I hope that all of you will respect my decision.
