i know if this still would make up for my finals but i hope that it would.
i am terribly sorry for being incredibly late for this.
The Samaskolliquium was a symposium regarding the feed on how we masscom students may expect from our onset after the collegiate life. They shown us excerpts from their experiences based from their own personal stories about how they acquired their current positions in their own respective jobs. They showed us how we should have ourselves set for the unpredictable instances of possibilities like having to exchange our supposed paremeters with newer ones if things do not go according how they are expected. The speakers had their own say on how one may take these circumstances and gave us the option to select of which may provide us better lattitudes.
I personally didn't agree fully on how the program turned out, with the utter discouragement of the undergrads of their possible chosen paths; which they presently desire which layed under the field they are currently taking, yet it was redemption for letting the undergrads know what other great opportunities could possibly await us.

Samaskolloquim
When I decided to take Mass Communication as my course in college, my parents ask me what is my future plans. What they mean to say is, what will I'm going to be after I graduate with the course I decided to take up.
Most people think that when a student took up Mass Communication, a student wants to be in the television or in radio or in newspaper, which is for me is totally wrong.
I took up Mass Communication because I think this course fits my personality. I am an adventurous type of a person and I want to be a researcher in the field that I desire. That simple dream of mine I think is not too much to ask in the company I want to be into.
Some of the guests we've invited during our Samaskolloquim, under achiever during their college years is not an hindrance for their success. I truely admire those people because they never look back and regret the years they been to but they recall it as challenge for them to reach what they are right now.
During the Samaskolloquim, I learned a lot. You dream and it will come to reality.

SAMASCOLLOQUIUM
You can't have everything. That's what always people say whenever they can't have the thing that they want. But seeing those wealthy successful people wether in showbiz, political. or in business field. i always asked myself how did they do it. Was it their destiny or they are just lucky. But then in every questions there are realizations. i've learned that if i just strive harder i could make my dreams come true. sometimes you have to work very hard to have everything you want. People make their own destiny and in every decisions that we make we are to blame in each mistakes that we commit. that's why God put uor brains on top of uor heads because we decide for uor own good and it's function is to think critically.
that's why if i want to be succesful in the field that i had choose. i have to think and act practically and i should always put in mind the saying that " if there's no pain, there's no gain" losers are those who give up in life...
Just trust in yourself. believe what you can't do, you can do. your ideas are more accurate than of others and only you can give the best and wisest advice to yourself. no matter what the guests in our colloquium advise, it's up to you to decide for your own future.

Horaaay!! We're done na..
Having an activity like 'tis made me more productive than before. So glad we had ate Hazzel as our committee head, and of course, Gaycee as my partner..
I learned how to be cooperative since we were in a team. The major proof for this was my paint on my uniform, ehe. i was so clumsy that i didn't notice i had been stain.
Anyway, i really was satisfied with the outcomes of the event..even if the power's out we were able to make it through. we never thought that it will happen to us..
One thing we were worried about while the event was going on, was the fact that the place was not that conducive.. because the audience kept on panning their selves.
On the other hand, they appreciated it naman, based on their evalutation.
this is the first ever samaskolloquim held at our university. That's why we were glad that we were the first batch who organized it.
It's true when I heard that it's not always Pampanga and it's not always Manila.. We just got to make a difference.. A difference that can lead us at the peek into the future.. Just keep going..

Samaskolloquium “A Peek into the Future”, a project of the 3rd year Mass Communication students that let viewers peek to what they might become in few years time, to see the real world and facing it with a lot of courage.
There are many important learning that were expressed in the event. Quoted from the speakers, learning is a continuous process it doesn’t stop, you learn from experiences and as you go on, learning is still in the process. In time, you will encounter a situation that you do not have knowledge about it but as long as you are willing and determined to learn definitely, it can be achieved. We should not be contented to just what we know, we should explore so as to be able to learn, learn and learn. In exposing ourselves to what we do not know help us to learn something new and having a great knowledge help us to become to what we will be in the future.
Congratulations, job well done!

SAMASKOLLOQUIUM 2009 -ABMC3
Well first of all I would like to congratulate the SAMASKOM and ABMC3 for the successfull activity this 21th of March. We deserve that 100% grade given to us. (yehey..!!)
I am one of the promotions team and I am very proud to say that the poster was made by me and improved by my partner Rj. (Bobs we did it!) Honestly it wasn't that easy because it's not the only thing I'm getting busy with. It took 3 nights of no sleep for us. But after all the approvals and posting we realized that it was kinda fun!
I, myself learned a lot and I discovered things which I am not familiar before like ADOBE.
My classmates all did great and they are all responsible.
I like the colloquium because I know it would be a big help for all Mass Comm and AB Comm students.
The speakers are nice and I am comfortable listening to them except when the BROWNOUT came!! haha.
I also would like to thank Mam Virgie Bautista (our ina ng Maskom) , for giving us the opportunity to make this kind of activity and teaching us the right thing to do in certain situations. Mam we owe you what we are right now and I will never forget you. You made us succeed. You are the person behind this.
Without you I wouldn't become the person who I am now, I love you.

“You must capitalize and focus on where you’re good at.” –Michael Tiotuico
I learned a lot from the forum. The speakers were so good that I feel a little excited in working or practicing my field. I was kind of confused on what path to take. Yes. I really do. But hearing directly from them, I am able to balance things in my mind on what to pursue in the near future. I wanted to be a media practitioner but I wanted also to be financially stable. That’s what makes my mind turn. (laughs)
Upon hearing all their speeches, I was enlightened with an attitude. And I think that is patience. Yes, a lot of media practitioners say their work is not financially fulfilling, but because of their three P’s, they don’t mind their salary anymore.
If there will be things that I should capitalize, it would be the three P’s: PATIENCE, PERSEVERANCE, and PASSION. I should invest a lot from them because these virtues would help me set my goals and remind me with my limits.
Above all, I should have faith in the Lord. No one but Him would guide me. I believe with His divine prophecy, His Divine Providence.

The ABMC3 production was good. Although there were no plan B and C, it turned out fine. The major problem is only the power interruption that’s why students were not able to focus well during the forum. Working with my team mates was fun and enjoy, we didn’t feel the pressure. :) congrats to us. :)
Dreams to success
Last Saturday we have this samasKOlloquiuM where in we invited some of the alumni ( mass com) of angeles university..It is a interesting activities because we are able to use all the message that the speakers gave us..As a third year student i see what realworld could really give to someone..and there is no hindrances just do what is the best...as thay say best is better than good..i have absorbed what Sir RR SICOY,PETER ALAGOS and Sir JEFFREY GOMEZ

LIFE in the FUTURE
We are all happy that SAMASKOLLOQUIUM was very successful despite of all the inconveniencies. All Masscom students cooperate with us and also the speakers who delivers their talk properly. We thank them for staying with us until the program was ended. We are happy that our final exam in E-news was over but still we’re sad to end SAMASKOLLOQUIUM because we want to know more about the life of speaker after they graduated.
The speakers’ experiences of their present jobs give us tips on how to deal with our work in the future. It really helps us a lot. It gives us a peek to the future. The speakers make sense because they really speak out the truth and reality on what is really life after graduation. It’s also good to hear that they are now successful in their own way. And what’s really important is they are happy and contented of what they are doing right now. I think that’ the most important thing.
However, we also thank the audience for asking questions to the speakers. It’s good to know that we have same questions on our mind, so it’s also helpful on our part. The questions make sense. It helps us to know more about the speakers.
Put together ABMC3, Masscom Audience and Alumni Masscom Speakers is equals to EXCELLENT. Over all, ABMC3 did a good job. We did our best for our final exam in E-news because that was the last time we’re going to prove ourselves to others. I believe we already proved it after the success of SAMASKOLLOQUIUM. Two thumbs up for ABMC3!
Samaskolloqium 'a peek into the future'
The samaskom held the very first colloqium to benefit all mass communication arts students. The colloqium was organized for students to literally take a peek into the future. Ab Mass communication alumna were invited to share both their job hunting and and work experiences.The abmc3 were excellent participants of the event. In my opinion this is probably the most motivated the class has ever been due to an event. I believe we gave it our all.
Most of the speakers for the event did not pursue the field of mass communication. Honestly it wasn't a shock at all. We all know that financially the field practitioners don't get what they deserve. Some even get killed for doing their job. The situation is disappointing but i guess there's nothing we can do about it. The field doesn't have board or licensure exams which in turn enables other fields to enter ours. Everyone needs a job and most speakers had to be practical in choosing a financially rewarding salary over their passion which is understandable. Work is a really different world and through the colloqium i was able to witness that. In the real world you have to be practical in order to survive. Patience and focus are what will drive us in achieving our dream job. Lets work our way to the top!
It's summer once again! Enjoy y'all!

ANOTHER BREAKTHROUGH SUCCESS BY ABMC3: samaskolokiyum '09
everyone deserves a pat on the back. For the tears, sweat, efforts and perseverance paid off as SAMASCOLLOQUIUM turned out as a huge success.
the preparations were unimaginable. we had to prepare for the event without having air conditions nor fans. imagine that! but the Power interruption was no reason not to have the show going (or should i say, colloquium.)
if i would have been present during the event, i would definitely learn from all the speakers. i was amazed with the production team for being able to gather all the speakers from different places. and i am proud to say that even if i wasnt around during the event, i am part of the team who made this a success.

SAMASKOlloquiuM: A Peek into the Future
Having to meet the Masscomm graduates was indeed having a peek of the future. We met 10 AUF alumni who graduated from our course and we get to see how their lives had evolved from being students to being working men and women. It indeed excites me to listen to their after-grad experiences and coping-ups. And it made me feel like I want to work already.
Here are some of the significant learning I absorbed from my peek into the future as a Masscomm:
Even if something is not your field, if you are willing to learn it, then you’ll do great in a job! You must grab opportunities that come your way.
- MELFORD CUNANAN
Capitalize and focus on where you’re good at.
- MICHAEL TUITUICHO
Practice speaking English, it is needed in the real world.
- JOOWOON YOON
Be confident. Be your self. Don’t try to project an image just to impress.
Have your mind set on what you really want.
- PONG MANIO
Find a job that will make you feel fulfilled and make you grow.
You can make money if you go for higher education.
You must be able to “sell” yourself – implying that you must be a people person. You know how to convince people to believe in you.
-FRANCES PASCO
You’ll need what you are studying right now.
You really learn from mistakes. And experiences are your edge in looking for a job. Not your resume or the person itself.
-KAREN SORDAN
Re-asses your life – what you want to take…you got to do what you have to do…work it out…maximize your talent…love your work…what you have…
-RR SICOY
If you know you have the passion, go for it, God will make a way.
-JEFFREY GOMEZ
Don’t use any body, use your own abilities, and believe in your self.
Aim, and then work hard for it.
It’s not luck, its hard work.
-MARIFI CABATINGAN
Prioritize your writing.
It’s not always Manila, its not always money.
Learn to give back.
-PETER ALAGOS
Those are just some of the interesting things I’ve learned from the guest speakers. Though the temperature inside the venue is freaking hot (due to blackout), all in all, the SAMASKOlloquiuM is fun and worth it! Good job!

SAMASKOLLOQUIM:
"A Peek Into the Future"
A job well done. Congratulations AB Mass Communication 3! (=
The colloquium was really a fun experience to everyone, not only that we learned a lot from it but also we enjoyed being reunited with our alumni friends. As a member of the Guests Committee, my task is to communicate with the speakers by texting them or by email. They were really kind and accommodating knowing that they are already busy with their work, they still find time to reply to our queries.
Though we haven't expected the power interruption, the event still went well. We haven't heard any negative feedbacks from our guests and I was glad that I gained friends. (Kuya Pong, Ate Frances, Sir Jeffrey and kuya Melford)haha (=
This is it ABMC3... It's our time to shine! We heard it from them, it's up to us how we want to do it our way... Good Luck everyone, enjoy the internship experience.

SAMAS KOLLOQUIUM
A Peak into the Future
A project of the ABMC 3 that allows us to welcome and invite the alumni’s of mass communication to render and share to us their experiences after college.
It was quite amazing how the program ran; students listened attentively and participated in the open forum. We the listeners all learned a lot with their talk. It was definitely inspiring on how they actually live their life with hope and triumph. It gave me the inspiration to work hard and believe in myself that in the future I would succeed and fulfill my dreams if I strive my very best to reach for the stars.
With out the help of each and every one of us (ABMC3), this colloquium will not be possible, and to our dearest teacher Mam Virgie who made a good change in our life by training us to be the best. This is a memory that will last in our hearts.
Mam V. we are all thanking you for all the hardship you have given us. We learned a lot ever since you became our teacher.
And to my dearest classmates, it was a good college experience being with you. We bonded, we have stumbled and fall but in the end we all rise and face for the future.
«§ÃMħKÖllõqüîùM»
Twilight again, no matter how good the day was, it always have to end."
Marj ended this event with a heart-warming quote that made us all fulfilled. =)
SAMASKOlloquium was a blast. We had so much fun preparing for it until the event itself. As one of the head committee of the Audience team, I am required to encourage audience to participate on the forum which I’ve done very well. (Assuming! =)) I just had a bit hard time to make them quiet on set of the forum but as the speakers began their talk, every one of us listened. For the first batch of speakers, I got impressed on how they talked (Well, as always, even when they were still students =)) Melford and Mike were really good speakers, they had share their experiences to us after graduation in a organized manner, I learned that getting a job nowadays is never easy. It’s really tough to face the real world. Joowon also tried her very best to share her experience that caught our attention. For the second batch of speakers, they had tell their stories when they were still students, on how they matured from being bullies way back in college to being the professionals they are right now. Karen has always been my favorite speaker, mentor and trainer, her diction is always great. Her sense of humor made her talk more interesting, and up until now, I can’t recover to what she said when the room is getting hotter (because of the brownout!), “Is it really hot or it’s just me?” (WTF!)
The last batch of speakers inspired me to be more persistent in achieving my goals and finishing my studies. When RR started his talk, I can never imagined how genuine is, what I mean is that, while he is talking, I see myself being like him after graduation. His attitudes back then to now, is similar to what I am doing right now. My mom, who has always been my idol made me cry that day, I did not expect that she would share to us our personal stories in the family, I feel overwhelmed knowing that she never commend me when we are together but that day she made me feel like a star, like I’m on top. I’m very happy to know that my mother is proud to what I have achieved. I never forget what my mom always tells me, “Nak, kung san ka Masaya dun din ako masaya. Tapusin mo ang pagaaral mo kasi yan ang isang bagay na mapagmamalaki mo sa mga magiging anak mo at sa ibang tao. Kapag may pinagaralan ka, hinding hindi ka maaapakan ng ibang tao at pag alam mong tama ka at nasa katwiran ka, wag kang mahihiya. Tandaan mo yan.”
Sir Peter’s talk had motivated me to become a writer someday. He discussed three points that made me more attractive to becoming one; first, Learn to prioritize your writing; second, It’s not always Manila or money; third, Learn to give back. Learn to deal with your job, maximize your talents and skills, be productive and never stop until what you get what you want. You should always look back to where you have started and never fail to thank the people who have helped you out in becoming the best person as you are. He made Mass Comm a new definition for excellence.
Mass comm is not just for broadcasting, journalism, public relations and all that, it’s up to you on how you will pursue it and how you will succeed on your chosen career. Be globally competitive and grab every opportunity that comes. Go for the job that will enhance your comprehensive skills and have a SMART goal.
(S-Specific M-Measurable A-attainable R-Realistic T-Time bound). Be yourself and be confident of what you are. Confidence is one thing that would open you to a lot of things. It’s not what you achieved in college, its how you sell yourself and personality; learn from your mistakes to do better. =)
Much has been said. The semester has ended; I would like to thank everyone whom I shared this sem with. You made this sem one-of-a-kind! To my classmates, who completed my Junior year with a smile. (Goodluck sa kanya kanya nating OJT! Sana maging successful. I’ll miss you all!) To my FAB (Puhr, Bitch, Parps, Fren, Marj, Sah, Athens, Bes, Dady Pat) who never failed to make my day – unending friendship to you all! To Ma’am V, thank you so much for the lessons you have taught me academically and personally. For sharing to us your knowledge and being the best professor that you could be. Looking forward to our senior year being with you=))
KUDOS to everyone =))
Have fun under the sun this summer!
SAMASKOLLOQUIUM ^_^;
--GRAND FiNALE :))
---So the first ever SAMASKOLLOQUIUM is a big success!!! not to mention the different problems that we encountered such as the unexpected power interruption, the air-conditioned units did not work but then it turned out more than that we have expected, I'm from the promotions committee and I should say from the editing, printing, approving and the posting is not an easy task not to mention helping Marjorie going in and out of the campus so that our program will be organized.
--STRiKE A POSE =]
---It made me realize that our batch is extraordinary, I believe in our group effort and as a class we gave our very best to cater this colloquium with pride because it is our blood, sweat and tears that we have given... and now I am very happy because we are given the opportunity to listen to the people who graduated from AUF with the degree of AB Mass Communication, we are given a glimpse into the future... our future career as a Mass Communication graduate... a rare opportunity to hear their struggles and stories on how did they manage to attain their career now.
--LiSTENING TO MELFORD ;)
--LiSTENING TO MELFORD ;)
---I was very inspired by the event and how did all the audience participated in the program and on how the guest speakers shared their stories on how do they manage the pressures after graduation, so ABMC this is the time of our life!!! we are offically SENIORS!!! woooh :)) hehe.. enjoy your OJT everyone!!!

SAMASkolloquium (FINALS)
For the first time in the history of Mass Communication in Angeles University Foundation, we, the AB Mass Communication 3 had produced a colloquium entitled SAMASkolloquiuM “ A PEEK INTO THE FUTURE”. Through this colloquium, we had gained knowledge, which is related for our future in our chosen field from our speakers who were Mass Communication graduates. The speakers shared their own experiences while taking Mass Communication course and their life after their graduation. All of the speakers had a common flow of discussion, upon sharing their thoughts and experiences, they concentrated on the fact that, as Mass Communication students, we should not just focus on the four corners or fields of Mass Communication. 
We must grab every opportunity to improve what we know and what we have. Explore our capabilities, because this will really help us discover our strengths and to further develop our weaknesses, as one of the speakers said, “Learning is a continuous process”. Learning doesn’t stop because we must learn from experiences. I’ve learned that, in our field, we must be flexible but at the same time always be in ourselves. We must stay humble in achieving our goals. We don’t need to impress just to prove ourselves. I’m pretty much sure that each one of us had learned a lot of things that will surely help us for our future. And it’s not always about the money, it’s about the fulfillment of being dedicated in our chosen career.
SAMASkolloquiuM offered something helpful for all of the students involved, because of meaningful discussions about experiences in our field and other related issues. It’s a great learning experience.
In all aspects the event was good. All of our audiences were really listening attentively from our speakers but the only reason, which made some of them to just leave the event, was the power interruption. But we understand, coz it’s really not comfortable listening while fanning and hearing some noise from the outside. But overall, it’s a job well done.
I’m hoping that this won’t be the last SAMASkolloquiuM, it’s fun learning important things that will benefit our FUTURE.MC3, WE DID GREAT!!! Ma'am, thanks for the support!

"A Peek Into The Future"
With the theme “A Peek Into the Future”, AB Mass Communication III was very glad after the success of their production SAMASKOLLOQUIUM.
Being one of the project leaders, it’s not that easy to hold a production like this. Marjorie Cristobal as my partner in this production, she is very initiative to meet all the deadlines that were written on our guidelines. I felt pressure doing this, because this is our final requirement in E-Newsroom course. But with the help of our very kind adviser Ms. Virginia Bautista, this production made possible.
One major problem during the production was the power interruption; it made the venue not comfortable to our audience and especially to our guest. It was really hot then, but we can’t do anything because it was already there. We don’t control the power interruption anyway. I, together with my partner Marj, did our best for the success of the colloquium.
To wrap all the message of our guest speakers, I can say that, we Mass Comm. and Communication students should know the L. E. E. I think your familiar to this advertisement by Nido. L stands for Learn E- Explore and E for Experience. We should learn more by exploring and set the bars of life higher to experience a lot of opportunity in the real world.
I would like to take this opportunity to give thanks with our audience and especially to guest speakers. Thank you all ABMC III for your cooperation in our colloquium. And very very thanks to Ma’am Virgie for trusting us to handle this production. Thanks a lot Ma’am for always supporting and guiding us.
Go!go!go! MC III.

ladies and gentlemen, we are floating in space
SAMASKolloquiuM, a production by the third year AB Mass Communication students for their Electronic Newsroom 2 class, held at room 517, fifth floor of the Angeles University Foundation Professional School building, on the 21st of March 2009, 1–5 PM, lit the entire room with a newfound insight about what to do and what is going to happen after graduation, which immensely helped the enquiring minds of the students about the subject matter.
Ten alumni of different batches stood (or sat on the couch) and shared their experiences and wisdom to all those who attended the forum. Students listened in rapt attention and tossed curious questions with great enthusiasm, to which the alumni answered with the most earnest responses.
The production was headed by Cris M. Balingit and Marjorie Cristobal, and under them were various committees, each with their own functions, acting as extra limbs for the production heads.
Asked a lot of students and they would say that SAMASKolloquiuM was a fun event, to which they had learnt a great deal about what to expect in the future. Even first years, who had enquired about things related to business life even if they were only in their starting year of college life.
Asked some of the students and they would say that Peter Alagos’s words had been engraved into their minds with his three things to remember: prioritise writing; it’s not always
Despite the out-of-anybody’s-hand unfortunate circumstances (electricity blackout and some specific technical difficulties that felt like a Pauli Effect phenomenon), the production was a success.
Kudos to ABMC III.

The very first Samaskolloquium..
It was really an accomplishment in our part, abmc 3, to have been able to organize the very first samaskolloquium. C:
With great efforts coming from our adviser and the diferrent committess who had work hard to made this event possible, the event really achieved its goal though there was a power interruption and the atmosphere had become very unhelpful.
The 10 mass communication alumni speakers had truly given us a peek on what we should expect in the future, out there in the real world. Even if they were given only around 10 to 15 minutes to talk about their personal accounts on their past and current jobs their experiences indeed gave us the inspiration and realization.
One main point a speaker mentioned that I really agreed on was being able to seize every opportunity that come our way either it is related or not in our course. Anything is possible if we include the values of determination and willingness to learn. In this way, i guess, we will be able to spell success on whatever jobs we decide to pursue in.

HiGhlight of the SEm^^
SAMASKOM and ABMC-III present the first ever “SAMASKOLLLOQUIUM”. This one of a kind learning experience was beyond compare. Those words of wisdom and inspiring stories of success from the speakers, made me realize the significance of my chosen field.What has life to offer me after graduation? Yes. I have a specific goal; I wanted to be a “broadcaster” And I will surely be^^ that’s my personal calling. I’m very happy and grateful at the same time to have a peeked into the future through this colloquium.
As one of the project leader, I could say that this production was the HIGHLIGHT of the semester. SAMASKOLLOQUIUM offers a great opportunity on my part. It was exciting and challenging at the same time. On the past few days, I tried to figure out what will be the outcome of the entire program. Yes, there were times that I felt being pressured. It seems like; at all times I’m in a hurry. I always have to do the given task immediately as there were deadlines to meet. On the other hand, If there will be a sudden change in the venue, problem in the schedule of guest, source of electricity and so on…. we have to make an on the spot decision. At first, everything was stressful. But with the help of my partner “Cris”, the committee heads, members and of course “Ma’am Virgie.” we made all things possible.
On the actual day of the program, the whole thing falls into the right place. Except for one aspect, we failed to anticipate the probable power supply, which was not in our control. No matter what, I’m still proud to say that “We made it!”
I will surely treasure lots of unforgettable moments in this production. I have learned how to be tough in facing unexpected state of affairs. Despite of the difficulty, I was able to work with enthusiasm.
An endless gratitude and appreciation to Ma’am Virgie, for the guidance, support and trust that she gave me! You’ll always be my mentor ma’am^^ hehehe….I’m a huge fan of yours…
ABMC-3, this is just the beginning for us, lots of challenges will come into our way. GOOD LUCK and God bless us all…..
Wo0ho00! Fourth year na tau^^

SAMASKOLLOQUIM
we had a conflict with the schedule of this event and our performance, we talked to maam Virgie and maam malay to help us with this problem. thank you maam for understanding us.:))
before the Kolloquim starts me and Nica did all the things that we could do for the event because thats the only thing that we could do at that time. even if we fail to be present on the main event, still i could say that its successfull, the speakers gave a very interesting and helpfull talked with the abcom and mascom students, they gave us the idea on what are we going to expect after graduation and the hardship of finding job and evrything.
Almost perfect! we did it Klasmates!! kung di lang umepal ang power ehehe!!!
CONGRATS TO ALL OPF US!:))

Next Picture
Temptations blurred my mind that day, uncomfortable because of the unending disturbance of the power supply, we even brought a large object from the rehearsal room to Ps517, see i have all the reasons to be irritated, and the students are somewhat unruly.
As i sit there at the back, i am thinking of 2 things, one, how can this colloquium help me in finding my so called future? can the speakers enlighten my tons of dissonance that keep popping on my mind every time i try to think what would i be in the next 3 years. Yet they say, we only see the tip of the ice berg. 2nd is i am very hungry, so hungry that i could eat a cow! Exclamatory as it is that's what i feel that moment, everything is uncertain, if the guests would even come. damn this is irritating!
I was about to go then, a unknown force stopped me from going. Even if i am VERY hungry, sleepy, and irritated.
As i listened to the speakers, my dissonance were diminished, i was enlighten on their experiences, knowing that masscom is only for media, well that is just a misconception, moreover, the speakers gave me the glimpse to the future, that we can be flexible in all sorts of fields. i feel very blessed, it may sound redundant, but its true that's how i feel that moment.
Thank you Ma'am v for this wonderful experience and un ending support for both mass com students, and comm students, and classmates, galing talaga mg MC3 ibang klase kau happy summer to all.

MASS COMMUNICATION and all that
It was a blast! Well, almost. The whole event was perfect except for the power interruption which is not within our control. I guess this just shows that nothing could really be so perfect in this world. Anyway going back, I enjoyed listening to our speakers even though it was so hot. I hate it when people say that “mass communication is being mas kompartable sa bahay.” Shame on them. They don’t what they are saying. Because if they really do understand what mass communication means, they wouldn’t say that. I wonder how boring the world is if there is no media and communication. Oh well, I’ll share some of my learnings and realizations from the colloquium:
1. We should always improve on what we have. Never be satisfied with what you know. Every single day is new; it is an opportunity to learn something new as well. Keep the thirst of knowledge alive, and of course, nourish our thirst. In our world, if you will just be complacent and relaxed, you wouldn’t survive. Welcome to the survival of the fittest!
2. Whatever we have right this very moment, we should bank on them. They serve as our investment now and our tool in the future. Whatever it is that we know, they will be of big help when we go to the real world. We need the things we learn in school, maybe not all but some of it. That is why there is need for us to prioritize our schooling.
3. I’m the type of person whose priorities are set. I know what I want and I work hard to achieve it. I know when to get serious and when to have fun and how to have fun. I know how to balance things. I do my best to get good grades not for myself, but for my parents who are working so hard to provide me with a good education and a wonderful life. By studying well, I am showing my gratitude to them and I am ensuring my self of a good future.
As much as I would like to continue sharing, I’ll stop there and give chance to others for I know they have other things to say too. I hope that everything we learned in the colloquium will leave a mark in our hearts. I also hope that we would be able to give justice to our course. That is to be more creative, more innovative and more dedicated. Think and step out of the box. May we be able to find the EXTRAordinary in the ordinary! Oh before I forget, mass communication is not being mas komportable sa bahay. It is mas komplikado because of the opportunities it brings to our lives.
HAPPY SUMMER ABMC3!=)
PREMONITON
I'm sitting at the set waiting for the colloquium to start.
are the guest arriving or what?:)
It’s over and done. That were the exact words that I uttered after our recently held SAMASKOLLOQUIUM: a peek in the future. At our planning, I have a premonition that our colloquium will have some technicalities because some of the speakers fail to submit their profiles on time. But on the day of our colloquium, I was delighted that the program runs smoothly. On the gloomy side, the power disruption ruined the fluidity of the whole event. I think it’s very difficult to focus when you’re fanning yourself out of the terrible heat inside the room. The speaker that were invited are good, they catered the event’s theme: a peek in the future.
This is our 2nd production wherein we need to work as a class, though not everyone exerted the same effort, I’m confident to say that we worked as one.

SAMASKOLOQUIUM
Our first ever Samaskoloquium was very successful, all of us has done a great job, to be able to come up with this event and invite some alumni of Mass Communication, with some students as our audience.
I was inspired by our speakers who already had their job and all the barriers they have encountered. One of the speaker said, that the course Mass Communication is not just about the fields, it how you work really hard to achieve whatever you want to reach. It was a good experience being part of this, listening to all the speakers ang getting some points to remember, inspired with their experiences. Job well done to us all ABMC 3.

SAMASKOLLOQUIUM
The first ever SAMASKOLLOQUIUM conducted by the last batch of Mass Communication is a very big success despite of “unnatural behavior” of the electric power that day. The audience are participated in the open forum especially the 1st yr communication students. They are really eager to ask questions to our alumni and some of them even get disappointed when they did not call to ask a question.
…
“It’s not always the fields; Mass Communication can offer you many job opportunities.”
This is what I’ve learned in our colloquium last March 21, 2009. It was Melford Cunanan, graduate of Mass Communication and a highschool teacher who said the quote. Indeed it was right. As a student of Mass Communication, I am so worried about my future whether I can get a job on my preferred course. But as I listen to them more carefully, I realized that I can get a job even if I’m not going to pursue Mass Communication. It’s just that if we have some skills outside the field of our course; hone them so we can use it someday in the real world. We don’t need to worry much about our future because like what I’ve read in some article of a mass communication student too, “hangga’t may komunikasyon, may trabaho ang estudyante ng mass communication kaya kool ka lang.”

FUTURE..!!
..SAMASKolloquiuM? they already said it all..
it was really good! what a final requirement!=)
It is something different, yet very important.
the whole idea was great..
we were all able to understand our questions regarding our course.
and we were able to know more of what is waiting for us.
I really love my course and it just made me realize
(because of the speakers) that i made the right decision.
I like the idea that anyone can get into out field
so you have to prove that you're better because you are trained to do it.
And I'm really glad that we are trained to speak English more than other courses does.
I agree with our speakers that it is very important to be fluent in English.
And I'm using it now since I'm working in as an online teacher.=)
Hard work and patience is what sticked to my mind most.
I believe that our speakers reached their goal, and will soar higher, because of their patience.
this COLLOQUIUM made us more responsible.
without the help of everyone it wouldn't be a success!
It felt good to realize that students are coming to see what we prepared.
Specially when they are hurrying to sign at our guest list.=). ^.^
that was nice!^.^
A job well done ABMC3!
i love you all...^.^
specially mama Virgie..
thank you so much!^.^

LOOKING THROUGH THEIR EYES, YET.
SAMASKOLLOQUIUM, held on March 21, 2009 at Angeles University Foundation, PS Building, was unforgettable for most of us, AB Mass Communication junior students. It was the first time we're having colloquium to which we've invited alumni masscomm students from AUF.
From the concept-making, guest-inviting, and the whole process of planning the colloquium, most of us (if not ALL), participated, cooperated, and contributed to the class project. Marjorie and Cris gave their best as project leaders to make it all organized and smooth on the actual day. Although we failed to anticipate the probable power supply problem, I can proudly say that the day still went out the way we wanted it to be-that is to inform us of how it is to be masscomm graduates, actually.
Our audience were all SAMASKOM members, from the first level up to the fourth. Our guest speakers were the highlight of the entire colloquium, and they did not fail to inform us of how it is to be masscomm graduates.
Among the guests that spoke there and shared their experiences, Melford stood out, for me. He just blurted out what he wanted to say; what was right for him and what he really thinks about the course he's taken and we (audience) are actually taking.
All the other guests gave their share of experiences, believing it would somehow help us look at our future, through their eyes, yet. It was very encouraging to see them speak to us with great enthusiasm about their jobs. Yes, it's not all money. It's not all passion either. It's all about opportunities; making the most out of them. That is what I've learned from them.
Thanks to our guest speakers, audience, and Dean. To my ABMC 3 class, congratulations. Thank you also to our professor, Mrs. Virgie Bautista, for the knowledge and wisdom shared, support, and everything else we could not name anymore. :)
"The Seers"
We all became seers at that very day.
21th of March 2009, our eyes had a glimpse of the future. Most eyes are afraid of what to see comes the unexpected years. Our eyes aren't exempted from that. We're afraid of uncertainties. Yet, luckily, we have seen a sketch of what's to come. We have peeked into the future. Such an opportunity has diminished our naive nature because it has equipped us of anticipation thus resulting to our careful preparation for our tomorrow's welfare.
The 1st ever samaskolloquium, though was not perfect in the aspect of conduciveness, comfortability, and duration of discussion for each speaker, has certainly allowed the overflowing of seeds of inspiration and learnings.
Moreso, it has allowed students, for once, to become, SEERS.
Thank you classmates for this sem and congratulations for a job well done.
Unending thanks to you mam v for everything.
God bless you all. ;)

samaskolloqium
Money over passion
After all Mass communication is not all about broadcast, advertising and Pr. It is about enjoying your job and all. Be practical.. Melford Cunanan, a Mass Comm graduate now a high school teacher. He chose to be a teacher because according to him "walang pera sa journalism" which is true. We don't know what is in stored for us after graduation. Maybe our job is totally different with what we have studied in college. Yes,we should grab the opportunities. Who knows we will be successful in our chosen field even though it is not in line with our course.
Mga Kamaskom!
I'm sweating and feels irritated that day. I thought of going home and just sleep. The day is so ridiculous because of on-and-off electric power within the city. Though, the moment the program started, I was alarmed and got awake as I saw the speakers gathering in front with different personalities which really makes the day interesting than irritating.
Almost 10 speakers shared their insights at PS517 that day. Most of them inspired me to set a huge goal while studying so I could have a better future.
Future, this is the term that lots of them talked about. How they make it through from college until their present job. Some of them mentioned that, while you're still in college, make the most out of it, not literally being a happy-go-lucky person but being an organization-oriented person. This, they believe will be a huge help when applying for a job when you graduated because the abilities that you want to develop could be heightened because of social interaction. That statement waked me up because I only have one organization as of now, the SAMASKOM.
Moreover, through that realization, I thought of joining the CAS ideas next semester so that I could increase my assets when I am applying for a job. But that's not just the reason why I am joining the CAS ideas, I want to be a part of it because I want to write or I want to be a sports writer in my college department.
That is one of the things that came across my mind when listening to the alumni. Indeed, if I let my self lose with the laziness I feel by going home and sleep, I wouldn't realize the true movements in the real world and I wouldn't have a plan to give my life a clear path or direction before graduating and even after graduating.
Thanks to the alumni who brought their knowledge and shared their experiences to their fellow KAMASKOM. Also, a non-stop thank you to the one who made this program possible, Ma'am Virgie! =)
Almost 10 speakers shared their insights at PS517 that day. Most of them inspired me to set a huge goal while studying so I could have a better future.
Future, this is the term that lots of them talked about. How they make it through from college until their present job. Some of them mentioned that, while you're still in college, make the most out of it, not literally being a happy-go-lucky person but being an organization-oriented person. This, they believe will be a huge help when applying for a job when you graduated because the abilities that you want to develop could be heightened because of social interaction. That statement waked me up because I only have one organization as of now, the SAMASKOM.

last batch of ABMC made a blast!
the first SAMASkolokium was handled by ABMC3, the last batch of mass comm at AUF.
it was really good to see former students from our course and school talking in front of us about their experiences after studying.
"it is what you know and not who you know." said Marie Fi Cabatingan, a mother of two.
she is really right that in the real world, it is not who we know that will make us achieve high things in life instead, it's what we have in our brains and our good values that will lead us to success.
i enjoyed the colloquium because of the speakers and also due to the unity of ABMC3 to make the event successful.
yesterday,we students dont know what we will be, but tomorrow's success is certain if we will do well today.

samaskolloquium 2009
I am under documentations committee. I take pictures and observations to what the speakers would relay to us. Basically, they are all good and I learned something new from every speaker. But if I will to rate them, I will definitely choose Ms. Karen as the best speaker. Well, aside from the fact that she is an undergrad, she was able to prove herself by still applying was she had learned in the academe in her nature of work.
Melford is still blunt. I knew him since high school and he was the same Melford I knew. Apart from having his job as a high school teacher in an exclusive school, he was the same Melford who used to say what he wanted to say. Walang pera sa journalism. Sorry ma'am Virgie. He is still practical, yet I know that he had improved a lot. A lot.
To all other speakers, I am looking forward to see and probably work to any of them.
To my classmates, to the whole ABMC3.Well congrats to all of us. I may say that we really improve since our first stay in school. We are now working hard and unanimously to make every event a success. We all deserve a good break after the long tiring day of hardwork.
To ma'am V., thank you so much for teaching us what we have to learn and what we had learned..

A PEEK TO THE FUTURE Samaskolloquim 09
Our first ever Samaskolloquim is a success. From the planing of the program, to choosing the guest and interaction of the masscomm, AB comm student and the alumni. This Samaskolloquim help us know what to expect in the future and we have learn alot of words of wisdom to our guest speakers. I remember Kuya Mike saying ''MassComm is not just focus on broadcasting, P.R. or advertising. Because after you graduate you do not know what is in store for you''. Which is true we don't know if the job we will get in the future will be in line with our course. Like Kuya Melford now he is a teacher in Brightwoods and soon to be in the Banking Industry. I remember him saying If I didn't accept this job what will I get later on. Grab the opportunity that is given to you. There is this one question that the 1st year ask to the speaker. He ask if looking for a job is a hell like experience to them? They all said yes but told us to be confident, focus on the skills we have, and be willing to learn because learning is a continuous process. They even recognized Maam Virgie for teaching or training us for being globally competitive. But my favorite speakers are Ate Karen and Mr. Peter Alagos. Ate Karen share to us that back in college she is under achiever, she only took mass comm to stay away from math but in the end she learn to appreciate and love her coarse. She is now a language trainer in Sutherland her accent and diction is very good and is very confident. I like her personality. While our last speaker is Mr. Peter Alagos who advice us to prioritized writing, Its not all about Manila or Money and last but not the least "learn to give back" he told us once you have learn, once you have gain experience go back to Pampanga and give back which really hit me. All in all the Samaskolloqim is a huge success I have learn alot from the speakers.

SAMASKOLLOQUIUM
SAMASKOLLOQUIUM
‘Please study English more than now.’
- By Yoon, Joowon
http://www.mgtopen.com/pdf/ihk/learning_business_english_series_1of4_playtime.pdf
- Electronic reference using APA in text citation. It is about importance of learning and using High leveled English in real world.
A year and three to four month later, I will graduate and study English more in my own land to master my ability in English. The last weeks ‘SAMASKOLLOQUIUM’ strengthen my idea of pursuing my English study more.
It was Ms Yoon who mentioned about the importance of good quality English training; that in real world, highly educated English speaker with proper and just English is needed and valued most; that the best way to improve oneself quality is mastering English.
I am agreeing this very much. I am here for this long period of time to learn English in better place, and to earn myself title of Good Quality English user. And I am pretty sure, that most of alien students coming in this land of Filipinos are aiming same goal as I have.
Yes, learning better English was all ways and still is my main goal, and I just can’t accept my self with now situation; that I am mostly frozen when I have to speak up. So, my plan for life is to learn more English after my graduation, and fulfill my first life’s goal.
To do this, I should study more, and for this, I need my co-students to keep up the speaking of English. Ms Yoon also mention that to help classmate and him/herself to learn better English is speaking each other in English always, not only to foreigners but to the homies too.
This I believe so true, and I am willing to speak up that I want to learn better English, so my friends, please help me and be merciful with me. I may speak wrong and use wrong words, may confuse of using the verbs. So, please correct me and not just laughing at my errors. I want to speak like one of you.
Ps. To all who wonders who is Sidron, I am Paul/ Kim, Hye-Dong of ABMC – III.

SAMASKOLLOQUIUM
‘Mass communication include a lot of career’------melford g.gunananAfter two month we are going to be senior, I still can not believe I been this country 3years and I will soon leave this university that give me a lot of memory. I am kind of afraid where I am going and what career I can choose, it is kind of like I lost my life .you know economic crisis and huge population make the opportunity of job as not easy to find as before in china .
There is old saying in china ‘it is not you to choose the job, it is the job to choose you’ I was confused by it, but after the SAMASKOLLOQUIUM ,I think I can get some confidence from these speaker .
The first three speakers give me a lot suggestion from the experience they have .
‘Mass communication include a lot of career’ said by melford gunana, he is teacher of high school, he was top 10 students in Philippine, brilliant background make him brilliant everywhere, he talked a lot about how to choose career and make decision.
Michel is the second speaker, he tell us ‘mass communication not only about broadcast, advertising and PR but also some career you never touched before,it doesn’t matter what course you are now but what course you will do ,focus on what you are good at and extend it .’ he is marketing manager now what he doing now is totally different with what he study in college .that encourage me a lot .
JOOWON YOON is Korean girl, she graduate last year, she keep saying that the importance of the English and as foreign student she taught me how to adjust this country and she mention that she wants get master degree.
That forum makes me really think about my future and demand me cherish the day I have before graduate, 365days it will be soon to gone ,I do not want just stay my home because I can find any job. My parents give me free food last 21years when I need so when they becoming old I should have the capability to make them happy as I was .
SAMASKOLLOQUIUM
I don't have many word to say about this, other classmates will present them to all readers, hehe.
But their experiences were really give us, as the becoming senior, guideline, to find out selves special talent, maybe someone can handle all aspects of communication, but that kind of person is rarely, and based on those speakers, I realized that the situation limits graduates' choice, and opportunity can change or shift your original goal, if graduate can enjoy that situation, he/she can make it better, even best; if not, he/she can change his/her job depending on situation.
But no matter how people will be changed in the future life, people should know how to protect selves' rights and national dignity. Because living outside home country your behavior represents your country, and you have right to protect it, or change foreigner's attitude's about your country through your behaviors.
When we graduate, it's time to face the society, competition is everywhere, we should well evaluate personal talent, set a rational bar for self to jump, and also must improve selves' talents for promoting or finding a better job. "Opportunity is ready for well prepared person."
I am appreciating this colloquium, we prepared very well, even if we encountered problems, the guests didn't complain troubles, and continuously shared their experiences, time is so limited, if we can give them free, I am sure that we can learn more from them.
That's it.
