“NLTSGO: SSG CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN”
Per Division Memorandum, the participants from Guindaruhan National High School of Cebu Province Division, Region VII, namely, Ermetes Adolfo, Jr.
(principal), Annalei C. Baga (SSG adviser) and Roselyn Alivo (SSG president)
attended the national leadership training in Baguio City last November 4-9,
2011.
The theme of the national
leadership training held in Baguio City was “NLTSGO: SSG CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.” Delegates around the Philippines were seen and
nearly popped up the whole Teachers’ Camp for the 6-day activity. Thousands of
leaders, together with their advisers rocked the event-place with their
great enthusiasm and cooperation.
According to the national president,
leaders are not born, but SSG makes them. The said training was composed of
different sessions wherein the great speakers were invited to share their knowledge
with leadership skills and good governance, how to become a great leader, what are the duties and
responsibilities of SSG officers and so forth.
Student leaders were divided into
different groups wherein they were assigned to houses or halls during breakout
sessions led by the Ateneo Code. Such houses had their different yells and they
added flavor to the training. Besides, leaders were again divided into smaller
groups, together with their facilitator. There were special tasks assigned for
them to do which were given to them and instructed by the facilitator.
After every game, there would be a
review or discussion about the lessons of the game, about what they’ve learned
and what were the things that the participants from diverse regions should be
done in order for the activities to be successful. During that event, in every game there was fun,
and in every enjoyment there was a lesson--a lesson that made all the students politically
active and turned into great leaders in their own way.
But, there were more…they also had the
social night, together with the celebrities who performed that night, and no one
had explained the ecstasy or happiness that rushed the people’s hearts. The “pricking
feeling” factor had made the girls experience during the socialization night with
their favorite actors and singers who performed on the stage. The boys were amazed
by the presence of charming actresses and singers.
Fun is everywhere. In fact, in the
National Election for the National Federation of the Supreme Student
Government, it was awesome. The candidates shared with one another with regard
to politics—having manifested every actuation or move they made, and every word
they said.
We, the participants and viewers, were
really stunned at how they delivered their platform of government, and how they
argued and defended their parties fairly during the “Meeting De Avance.”
This training would not be very
successful without the help and prior surge of Mr. Joel Pelaez, together with
the Ateneo Code. That’s why, without him “we can’t make it happen,” and because
they are the active leaders, of course, they truly make it happen for all of
us, especially the participants.
