3) Grand Consultation c/o Drew 20 mins

Motion to move presider to Gio Alejo by AJ Elicaño. Seconded by Gumaru

 Copuyoc: added students are primary stakeholders in LS so entitled to give

feedback. Quantitative research/data w/ emphasis on curriculum reviews
excluding freshmen batch. Minimum target of 50%. Consult department
chairs and program directors. After qualitative data. Based on
recommendations from DRS and CB committees. Final say would be on the
school chairs. Min of 1 FGD per course per year level.
 Questions:
o Yllana: Ilan students kasama sa FGD?
o Copuyoc: aiming for 10
o Elicaño: FGD format is not effective for SOH because they have a
small number of people per course
o Alejo: add special clause - whatever will be deemed fit and
necessary by school board chairs
 o Abante: impt. To FGD the block reps also after they FGD per course
because its breps responsibility to consult. There should also be a
year level distinction because diff formation programs
o Alejo: sose plans to have FGDs. Will it be integrated with this?
o Gaisano: No. purpose of FGD is for asking for results. If they felt the
change, if what they asked was acted upon.
o Elicaño: are we still allowed to ask freshmen?
o Copuyoc: Yes.
o Albiento: Suggestion, if this will approved, he hopes school chairs will
really focus on this. It might affect your projects and activities since
it’s a big project.
o Alejo: it will be great if DRS heads this project
o Copuyoc: chairs discretion if they will do hard copy or soft copy
o Gaisano: if online, monitoring won’t be as effective as hard copy.
For online, easier for drs and easier to collaborate.
o Albiento: how will they ensure that you will get 50% of each course?
o Copuyoc: Magiging one survey per course.
o Lucero: operations should be discussed by chairs
o ALbiento: hawthorn effect: how will ensure quality of data?
o Agatep: the ones who are spreading the surveys will be monitoring it.
Methodology will come in operationalization. Crucial marketing
 Motion by Dan Remo, seconded by AJ Elicaño.
 Done by raising of hands: unanimous decision

4) Reggie Blue Resolution c/ o CAA 15 mins

 No ratings, no students comment on teachers or anything
 Course = subject
 Program = program of study
 Teachers section’s to help them to learn more about Ateneo faculty
o Teaching staff, methods and procedures in class
o Course syllabus
 Base choice on syllabus.
o Write up screened and edited by CAA
 Electives
 Minoring
o Content
o List and write-ups
 LS Programs
o To know more about programs in Ateneo
 If the want to shift or curious
o Write up by student on what program is about
o Perspective of student
 ASCC
o Avenue for students to send in complaints
  Questions and Inquiries
o Potenciano: When you have a website like this, who will continue to
run this? Consistency? What will happen to tie-up with reggie blue?
No interaction makes this a dead website.
o Lucero: reps appreciated the fact that its centralized.
o Copuyoc: sanggu project. In house reggie blue year. The continuity
of this project depends on the Sanggu heads this year.
o Sison: write-ups will be written by reggie blue team. Assigned person
per people. They will ask the teacher also about their methods.
o Copuyoc: the person writing has to have an experience with
teacher. Not necessarily core member of team but ask people to
volunteer.
o Villamin: aim is to be more objective. Since it’s screened and asked
teacher. Its more biased to the teacher. Automatically biased
towards the teacher. Not truly objective.
o Copuyoc: basically giving you more information of the teacher.
Depends on the quality of the write-up
o Gaisano: Include student comments thing but screened. Defeats
the purpose if you screen and ask the teacher pa. your goal is to
help the students.
o Viado: if there’s no ratings, why would you call it reggie blue?
o Copuyoc: change the name. it’s not reggie blue. It’s a new kind of
feedback for teachers
o Gumaru: when you look for teacher, its not only look for good stuff
but also the bad stuff. Puro good stuff lang lalaay. Defeats purpose
of checking that site
o Sison: all the write ups that when you publicize, like newspaper. Get
both sides already.
o Copuyoc: filtered. It doesn’t try to solve everything. Trying to adapt
to everyone’s principles

Motion to extend by 10 mins by Dan Remo seconded by Nick Lucero

o Potenciano: what this project should focus on is how you talk about
electives.
o Remo: is this a priority that we should be focusing on? Waste a lot of
precious time since filtering. Since we are conducting the write-ups,
we are directly liable to whatever is put there. We’re the ones put at
the gray area. Decisions of stdents will be based on what we said so
are will we willing to take that risk?
 1) In soss, Ateneans guide to SOSS. An overlap of their project.
 2) How will yo be able to monitor the write-ups considering
that there will be one person per course in order to make it
good, it has to be from a multitude of people.
  3) What do you mean by teaching style because it varies?
o Copuyoc: Reggie blue team. It’s a question of trust, how well do you
trust caa team. Even if there’s guide to SOSS, needs elective
sections. People don’t know a lot of this stuff. If we give it to them, to
some it will matter. SOSS lang ‘yong guide. Yung content we can
get from soss. Para hindi mag-overlap, ‘yong guide pwede
magamit for this site and use to other students and not just SOSS.
o Potenciano: objectifying teacher will be saying this teacher has two
eyes and two legs. Scrap the project, focus on other things.
o Elicaño: pulse of reps, more comfortable with old reggie blue format
bt sensor for offensive or inappropriate comment. Give to an
external group so we are not liable for it. If accept this, were liable
for no matter what. Frankly be liable to what batchmates or what
they want say rather than CAA.
o Yllana: free comments but want no liable. Look at essence of
project instead. Okay na may profile pero yung tinitignan yung
comments
o
Motion to extend by 3 mins by Elicaño seconded by Dan Remo.

o Lucero: okay sa profiling and everything else. Pero kasama pa rin

siya sa organic-ness as sanggu
o Chan: becase of reggie blue, magiging busy na sila sa caa. Why
focus on reggie blue when can focus on something also? Give to
external group that sanggu moderates.
o Copuyoc: ask if it will help your constituents or not.
o Remo: we would appreciate it more if we were given a heads up

Motion to extend 2 mins by Ken Abante seconded by Dan Remo.

o Abante: kailangan talaga siya. I think its impt that we bring a

multiplicity of se. profiling is good. I say yes to sanggu proj. we have
a lot to say about teachers. Mas gusto ko na nagcocomment mga
tao tungol ditto. Its impt that this becomes a dynamic website.
Pwede pagkaroon ng profile and get comments as well. We have
to step us as sanggu.

o bagong logos ang orgs and names

o sanggu and coa to work together. Many have been positively
responding to this.

the success of their orgs.

be the ones to instill that Ateneo has the best org life.

shouldwork at the same ground.
 Hope we can learn more together as the year progresses

sanggu/ to avoid overlaps in the past.

7) RH Bill Info Campaign c/o Gio 10 mins

 Conceptualized last week
o Be a precedent of debate on rh bill that hasn’t been
conceptualized yet
o Inform our constituents first regarding the bill. Something that should
be discussed first. Presented a proposal on how to go about process.
o House bill 4244: Its not as detailed as we expect it to be. Vague
 Inform the stdents what is meant by the diff authors of the bill
regarding the diff sections of the bill
o Not good for sanggu because we are interpreting the
bill with regards with how it was written
 Dangerous to tell the students what they mean
when the authors have different interpretations
and meanings
o Instead of going through the bill, it is good to
contextualize how and why the bill is here
o 4 main issues we can revolve on:
 History (since 1st Aquino admin)
 Focus on the statistics. Population, mortality
 To know if rh bill will really help statistics
 Millenium development goal #6: to reduce
maternal mortality by the end of year 2015
 State the different objections on diff sectors on
why rh bill shouldn’t and should be passed.
o Contacted 3 orgs
 HSS, PMSA,Bio organization
 Met already. They weren’t really responsive on
how they presented.
 Adopting on what doc sio presented in giving
an information campaign
 MOA in process. Not rushing because we must
be careful on how to give the context of the rh
bill. Give them guidelines to help students make
decision by themselves.
o CSPA – Alejo want to give representative from CSPA to
be present in meeting.
