CSR STORY #1: MR. ALDRICH TEREBRICOCSR STORY #1: MR. ALDRICH TEREBRICOWe went to Katipunan, Quezon City to interview Mr. Aldrich Terebrico of CheckMySchool.org about his CSR Story. One of our tasks as a group was to produce CSR Stories of different people from different organizations.

CSR STORY #2: MR. JB TANCSR STORY #2: MR. JB TANMy co-interns and I went to Coffee Bean in Makati to meet up with Mr. JB Tan of iVolunteer. Earlier that day, we met up with Ms. Jojo in Coffee Bean in Shangrila. We interviewed Mr. Tan by 7PM He also shared with us his CSR Story and gave us his calling card for future reference.

These pictures were taken in Starbucks, Glorietta 4. This was our meeting place with Ms. Jojo Armenta when we discussed updates and other tasks regarding the upcoming projects of BCYF. We usually meet in coffee shops and accomplish the set agenda for a day. We also interviewed Mr. Nico Santiago as part of our CSR Stories assignment but we were not able to take a photo with him.

This was the view outside our meeting place for that day.

CSR STORY #4: MR. ALOY CHUAWe attended an event in Ateneo De Manila University about Social Enterprise and interviewed Mr. Aloy Chua about his CSR Story.

CSR STORY #5: MS. NOREEN BAUTISTAMs. Noreen was the emcee of the Social Enterprise Seminar we attended in ADMU that’s why Ms. Jojo assigned us to interview her.

CSR STORY #6: MR. JOHN LAGDAMEOMr. Lagdameo is a professor in ADMU. We got to interview him right after the Social Enterprise Seminar as part of our CSR Stories assignment.

CSR YOUTH AWARDS PRESS LAUNCHWe invited publications from different schools including The Scholastican (college school paper of St. Scho Manila) and Ms. Bettina Catli came as a representative. She is also taking up Mass Communication minor in Print Journalism while Hardy, Ivie and I are in the Development Communication track.

These photos were taken during the CSR Youth Awards Press Launch in Club Filipino Greenhills in San Juan. Ivie and I were assigned to man the registration booth while Hardy did the documentation of the event. We slept in Hardy’s house as suggested by Ms. Jojo and got very little sleep because of the last minute preparations and the editing of the supposedly video for the event.

CSR STORY #8: MR. NIKKO MAGALONAMr. Nikko Magalona was our last interviewee for our CSR Stories assignment. We interviewed him in the office of BCYF in San Miguel Ave. Ortigas. Mr. Magalona usually volunteers as additional manpower during the events of BCYF. We helped Ms. Jojo put up the decorations in the office right after the interview.

ROCK THE VOTEThis was an event ran by NYC (National Youth Commission) in which BCYF proudly participated with. It happened in UP Diliman, Quezon City. I was a bit late for this event because I was assigned to go to Club Filipino Greenhills in the morning to reserve a venue for the CSR Summer Faculty Seminar but they had no available halls for that day. However, the purpose of this event was to encourage the youth to exercise their right in voting and to remind them of their responsibility to do so. There were performances from talented musicians and food was provided. Ms. Jojo was the emcee of this event while we provided assistance in ushering and manning the booth. I also took part in speaking for the pledge of partner organizations.

CSR SUMMER FACULTY SEMINARThis seminar aimed to partner with different school associations and unite the faculty members to talk about and understand the concept of CSR. It aims to help the faculty prepare for the mandated order of CHED to include CSR in the curriculum of schools. This event took place on May 23, 2015 in the Development Academy of the Philippines.

We manned the registration booth again for this event and provided assistance to guests and participants. We were with Ms. Sheila Ramos, also a Scholastican, who only graduated last March. She also took up Mass Communication minor in Development Communication.

Weather that day was a bit gloomy but thank God that the event successfully pushed through.

“That in all things, God may be glorified!”
