End of the Year Report 2013 - 1st Quarter

I used to write my end of the year report with a serious air but now I will try to do it as light as possible. 2013 for me was primarily meeting a lot of people and new friends. In January, Seton Hall University-New Jersey, visited UPCN. Its president was Filipino, one of the firsts who held such post among major universities in the US.

SHU students visited communities handled by UPCN in Manila and San Juan, Batangas. This pic is with VCAA Dr. Joji de Luna, also learned that she was from Bohol after she answered in our vernacular when she heard us and an SHU student speak Cebuano. 

The students of INHA University-South Korea visited us on the same week as SHU. So I had to run to and fro for these two visits. 

In February, we attended the Alfonso Yuchengco Policy Conference which discussed re 4Ps. This was really insightful for me. Attended this conf last year also when my friends Ai and Maricris were still part of YC.

Oh this is another hosting spree, Candlelighting Ceremonies for Not's advisory class at UPCN in Feb. Haven't graduated from being the MC, name the occasion and I've tried it. Downside is you get to eat less because of being tired with all the blah blah. 

First of many workshops for the year. Speakers were speaking Japanese, and the translation was done right there and then. All the lectures were done thru teleconference, and it was very efficient.
