after a very tiring encounter with
25, 2011 within the park 9 alley Court, Ecosoc members protected the taMBAyan as they dominated the Applicants in all six sports played during the semesterly Members Bersus Apps (MBA). The members’ domination began with the first event, Volleyball, where members viciously smashed their way to victory, winning 2 sets with final scores, 25-7 and 25-13. Their smashing victory not enough, mems proceeded to overpower the apps in Futsal, kicking-off the first half with a score of 2-0. Though the apps caught up in the second half scoring two sneaky goals, the mems equaled this advance by burying the apps with a final score of 4-2. The mems in the Men’s and Women’s Basketball events faced the same fate in emerging victorious as in the events prior. In the Women’s Basketball event, mems sank in two hoops compared to the Apps single three-pointer, ending the game with a score of 4-3. In the Men’s Basketball event, the apps put up a great fight, with the close game ending with a score of 29-25. In Catching the Dragon’s Tail, Mems, prevailed after 5 rounds of chasing down the Apps suffering only 2 losses, ending with a score of 3-2. In the final event, Agawan Base, mems concluded the game with two sneaky bases. The MBA is held to bond members and applicants through sports. The Members maintain an undefeated streak.
the members during Members Bersus Apps (MBA) last July 25, the Power Apps had another battle ahead of them. It was a scuffle against the stains, trash, and stench that haunts the Ecosoc tambayan. At two in the afternoon, most of the applicants were already in the tambayan, ready to perform this somewhat tedious task. The Seccom applicants briefed the rest on how they will go about the cleanup. Everyone started to bring out the different boxes, benches, couches, trophies, tables, etc. so that Ate Vangie and her friends can start stripping the floor and doing their stuff. While waiting outside, the applicants cleaned the electric fans and trophies. Other apps checked out the different boxes and tried to eliminate things that aren’t anymore needed. Others fixed the Academic Affairs Committee’s book shelf, arranging the books in such a way that it will be easier for the members and applicants alike to get their needed references. Some did the Executive Committee’s table, replacing the cartolina and torn plastic coverings with new ones. At around five, Ate Vangie and her friends finished and the applicants returned the things they brought out inside a very clean and odorless tambayan. At the end of the day, the applicants had the realization that this Clean App was more than a requirement to get the Secretariat Committee Chairperson Cocoy Licaros’ prized signature on their sigsheets; it was all about taking the responsibility for maintaining and caring for everybody’s second home in the School.

ECOSOC INVADES RX BY AYLA REYES
last july 18, 2011, 9 members of ecosoc
traveled to the offices of Monster Radio RX 93.1 in Ortigas for a company tour, which was held by the Liaison Committee from 1 pm to 3 pm. The tour was lead by Vincent Gavino, Marketing Officer of RX. There, Ecosocers got a peek at the departments that make up a radio station despite the company’s ongoing renovations. From the transmitters and sound equipment to the recording studio filled with vinyl records, the office is an audiophile’s dream. In the recording studio, the members were able to meet DJ Gino Quillamor of Jumpstart where he showed them what it was like to audition for Radio1, RX’s Campus Radio Show hosted by students. Members were then brought to the DJ booth where the members joked around with Danielle and Louie D., who were on-air at the time. Afterwards, the members had a chat with Jude Rocha about the history of RX and how the company works. They then met former Liaison Chairperson and Monster Radio President Chito Barreiro. Mr. Barreiro explained the various jobs he had in media before he became the president of RX. Mr. Barreiro mentioned the various types of work available in the company and some of the perks of working in their field. This company tour was the first stop in the series of tours that the Liaison Committee held this semester. The goal of the tours is to expose Ecosocers to career paths not normally associated with economics.
