MSS NOMINEES

AY 2011-2012



PRESIDENT



WHAT IS YOUR VISIONFOR MSS NEXT SCHOOL

YEAR?I wish for the MSS to evolve into the even more powerful and dynamic organization it has the potentialto be and represent even more what a UP Medical student should be. I aspire for the organization toreach new heights, seize the intra-campus scene, and offset erroneous misconceptions and negativeperceptions it may have incurred. Specifically, I aim for the MSS to expand its artillery of activities fromjust its usual armaments composed of circumcision medical missions, FATE, TRP, COWS and ICPC, andinclude an array of innovative undertakings that builds on the other facets of the organization such asmulti-skill competency, service, socio-civic awareness, and medical knowledge advancement. Corollary

to this is the engagement in activities geared towards provision of maximal benefits and opportunitiesfor growth to the organization’s constituents, while mutually imparting key contributions to the UPCMcommunity and beyond. For this to materialize, it is but imperative that the MSS undergo innovativerestructuring and refurbish its annual scheme, to pave the way for timely enhancements in response toits growing membership while ensuring that tradition is not neglected.

To succeed in these endeavors however, it is necessary to maintain the current rate of expansion andto generate new experiences that may pique the interests of constituents (both old and new) andpotential applicants. More aggressive publicity and marketing of the MSS essential tenets should becarried out to address the former, while generation of new experiences to pique the interests of constituents (old and new) and potential applicants, to address both. A key element in this is to design

a scheme in which intrinsic motivation to work for the organization’s principles is developed in our

members.



For the special projects committee to strengthen its social arm and be a bridge or a means for the MSSto provide substantial contributions to the UPCM community and the Philippine society. I willrecommend also that the special projects committee provide members with alternative avenues forgrowth (alternative to academic avenues), such as skill enhancement activities targeting technologicalknow-how, leadership, career opportunities, and the like.

For the academics committee to continue bolstering the academic endeavors of its members. It isrecommended that it be the counterpart of the special projects inside the organization – that it aim toprovide substantial contributions to the members and assist them in achieving success in their mainundertaking: their medical education.

To provide logistics support and marketing support to the finance committee who will remain to be thebackbone of all MSS activities. It will be recommended that some of the burdens of the financecommittee be alleviated by having other committees organize at least 1 income-generating activity.Meanwhile, the finance committee will be encouraged to obtain partnerships with corporate sponsorsthroughout the year, with the assistance of the publicity committee (who will create the org profiles,

etc. often asked for by willing companies).

For the TRP to explore new territories and not shy away from innovations and improvements. Therecommendations during the TRP Convention will be strongly recommended to the future TRP team,with emphasis on illuminating the principles and process behind the event, and making it play a more

pivotal role in the UPCM community.



TAGLINE/THEME FOR MSS

NEXT SCHOOL YEAR?Pursuit of innovation tempered bymaintained respect for tradition

and intensive organization andplanning, and fortified byincreased solidarity.

MERVYN LEONES



WHAT IS YOUR VISION FOR MSS NEXT SCHOOL YEAR?

I envision a society that is cohesive when coming up with vital

decisions to improve the org. Also, it’s time we go beyond TRP asour org’s identity. We have to be more proactive in coming up withmore socially-relevant projects like charity works, community-building activities, outreaches and the like. Lastly, I envision anorganization that has a firm stand on issues concerning the studentbody, the College, and ultimately the country.

WHAT IS YOUR TAGLINE/THEME FOR MSS NEXT SCHOOL YEAR?

Ang Medical Students’ Society hindi lang pang-TRP.

FAYE GILBUENAWHAT IS YOUR VISION FOR MSS NEXT SCHOOL YEAR?

I want an MSS that is open and honest, all cards on the table. One that worksfor others, but doesn’t forget itself in the process. I want us to remembercamaraderie, and that we’re here not only for FATE, TRP or ICPC. I think we shouldalso establish events that not only have us working, but also actually bonding witheach other. How well do we know each other, really? Even simple get-togethers,dinners, or spontaneous movie nights for no apparent reason, could be the one stepwe need in order to get that kickoff energy I want us to have. I’ve always found it

easier to work with friends rather than strangers/acquaintances, so I think futureprojects will only be better once we are better accustomed to each other, outside of work. I’ve found comfort and many friendships through MSS, and so I want this notonly to be a mere college organization, but become like a family for everyone.

And of course, regarding being a secretary, I’ll make sure to keep files,meetings, etc well-documented, and that every member stays well-informed.


All work and no play eventually make you a boring person. :P

SOCIALS AND CULTURE



BRYAN MESINA



NICOLE BERNARDO




For the org in general, I want MSS to vie for more transparent governance –

not only among members, but also to the entire UP Med community.For the Socials and Culture Committee specifically, I wish to be part of moreactivities that give an opportunity for the members to build strongerrelationships. Physical activity is always a fun and rewarding way formembers to interact, and so as part of the Socials and Culture Committee Ican help bring about such team building activities. Also, albeit thiscommittee is always equated to the ‘fun’ side of the org, I believe that

partying and enjoying ourselves can serve more than mere means of detox,but also to help out the other projects and functions of the org, or even acause greater than it.


Masaya sa MSS ‘pag tayo’y sama-sama – kaya sali na!

ALUMNI



TIN YALUNG

VisionI envision an organization that has not only camaraderie but solidarity through its ranks –alumni who know their undergrad members and undergrad members whoknow their alumnae. Generations meeting together not just to talk about solicitationsand trouble shooting, but also of the origins of the organization and how it evolvedthrough the many years that we have been in existence. Generations workingtogether to become more holistic doctors through joint projects and advocacies.

A few steps that we can take towards solidarity are:Educating the undergraduate members of the history and intent of the annual projects we currently have andalso some of the projects we have abandoned in the past – not just through write ups in souvenir programsbut through actual story telling. The undergraduate members have the right and responsibility to know thatTRP used to be held at the PGH court and it used to be just a medley of songs and other such performancesto break down the tension between the ranks, hence rendering those above Tao Rin Pala. The alumni willhave a chance to tell their stories and the undergraduates would have the opportunity to learn more andpossibly , love our projects more. And with love, there’s more effort put into it, lessening the mistakes made

and the burden on everyone’s shoulders.But it’s not just about the alumni helping us it’s also about us helping our alumni. I would like to get in touchwith our alumnae and possibly get involved in their projects too. We can help with projects that are just beingconceptualized OR we can help them realize some that’s already taking shape. We can be partners in theiradvocacies and by doing so, we not only help them but we also grow as an organization.



TAGLINE/THEME

Solidarity through the generations,

for a taller and prouder MSS.



JUSTIN REGALADOVision for MSS next year:

To have an MSS that slowly gears its activities and preparations towards its Ruby

anniversary in 2013. In line with this, the MSS will work to bring back to its fold, all possiblealumni that have existed since the time of the organization’s inception. Similar to theUPMASA, we will start to build our alumni base, to help the MSS fund its activities, and tofurther its growth and expansion into other venues that our other committees deembeneficent to the organization, the students, and the people we serve.

Also in line with the Ruby preparations, we will spearhead a planning seminar involvingincumbent members and alumni that will allow the MSS to guide itself into the next 10

years, with a continuity protocol and platform to make ourselves an organization worthy of aGolden Anniversary and beyond.

MSS Tagline:

We’ve walked tall. We’ve walked proud.Onwards to 40 years of Staying MSS...And beyond.



ELECTIONS ANDCONSTITUTION

EMMAN LANDICHO





For the upcoming school year 2011-2012, I see MSS as the organization to produce andhone more leaders not only in student organizations and councils, but also in their futurecareers either as respective doctors, researchers and other fields of practice, withleadership workshops and talks to be held. Working with the doctors and alumni of MSS,we can hold a career talk/ leadership seminars and workshops where these Doctors can

share their experiences with their respective practices, and give us reminders, tips andlessons on how we may become more efficient student leaders and future clinicians inthe respective fields of practice we choose.

I also see an MSS which reaches out even more towards communities needing social andmedical support, as well as an MSS, responsive towards the needs for creating andhoning the quintessential five star physician.


MSS! Walking tall and proud towards excellence and leadership in Medicine!

WHAT IS YOUR TAGLINE/THEME FOR MSS NEXT SCHOOL YEAR?TRP 38: Seasons – celebrate change



RYAN MAGTIBAY




WHAT IS YOUR VISION FOR MSS NEXT SCHOOL YEAR?A braver MSS that opens up to changes, takes chances, and makes necessary steps to be better.I envision a society that addresses the needs of the current members of the society and not anyone else.This vision involves an MSS that is not solely bent on making TRP work period, but celebrates its preparation and

creation as well. It should strike a balance: a society of medical students, at the same time, an organizer of a wonderfulevent. It should be recognized as both, as well.

That said, the dichotomy would work if the current formula in organizing TRP would be revised and enhanced to bemore efficient and adaptive to the workforce and to TRP’s audience as well. More so, TRP should be a vehicle for MSS

members to be closer to one another and the process of preparing for TRP should be designed as not just mere work butopportunities to learn and to get to know people.The challenge with TRP is to break away from the usual formula and introduce an all-new hype, most especially with thechallenges it went through last year. It has to be repackaged and reintroduced, as much as the level of the event should beraised so as to cement its status in the college. After all, MSS is bent on making TRP its most prized legacy to the college. If that would be so, TRP has to be sustainable, as much as it is easy to tweak and adjust to an evolving audience.This involves introducing bolder and braver themes – specific themes, abstract themes, or innovative ones that are unlikethose used before. This means introducing changes on the current format – setting of time, chronology of performances,revised segments – and paving way to introduce and encourage other types of performing arts. More so, TRP has lagged interms of using modern day technologies to its advantage – like the use of the internet, actual working cameras for thevideos and up to date editing software for the final product – and remains tied up to the traditions of the past. This involvesintroduction of many innovations to create an all new show that people can get hyped about once more.
