PNU-LISAA: A Team Working For One Goal

Acceptance speech by Ma. Evelyn P. Nabus delivered during the 4th General Assembly on November 20, 2004 at PNU Library, Manila

Ms. Perla Garcia, our inducting officer, Dr. Linda M. Tayona, chairman, PNU LIS Department, members of the LIS Department, colleagues in the profession, good afternoon.

I am having mixed feelings right now. I feel anxious if I can carry out the responsibilities that go with the position of president the Association has entrusted me. But knowing that I belong to a team that really works and is committed to carrying out the Association’s vision, I feel relieved.

My term will continue the vision of the Association to conduct a massive campaign for membership and it will only be done with the help of each one of us. Now we have more than 200 members, but sad to say only a quarter of the members are active, and some are hesitant to commit their time, knowledge, and sometimes their “treasures” for the success of the Association.

We will also continue to conduct relevant for a and seminars with minimal fees and invite competent speakers. We are open to suggestions on topics we should carry on for next year and how we can raise funds for our Association so we can continue to support deserving LIS student through a scholarship grant.

We have all dreamed for this Association to come into being and now that we are on our fourth year, I humbly ask your help to invite your classmates to be part of our Association, A TEAM that works to achieve one goal.

Lastly, thank you for all the support you are giving the Association and we are hoping to see all of you and your other classmates in our forthcoming activities. And I know with the help of all of you present here, our Association will go a long way. Good day.

2003-2004 Accomplishment Report

Delivered by Consuelo J. Estigoy during the 4th General Assembly last November 20, 2004, PNU Library Conference Room

It’s been a year since I accepted the responsibility as president of the Association and now it is the time for me to turnover the duties to the incoming president. I proudly present the achievement of the Board for the year 2004.

ORGANIZED FORA AND WORKSHOP

At this time of economic crisis, the Board thought of reducing the activities and focus on more substantial matters. Last March 13, we held a second career talk exclusively for the LIS graduating students titled “How to Prepare for a Successful Job Application” in collaboration with the PNU Library and Information Science Department. The resource persons were the past two presidents of PNU-LISAA, Mrs. Placida Socorro Limpin-Lim of Assumption College and Ms. Elnora L. Conti of the Thomas Jefferson Information Center. We promise to continue this activity to help the graduating students of LIS in preparing to land a job. In this activity, we get our best and successful alumni to be our speakers to inspire our students and also to inform them of the existence of the alumni association.

On August 20, we held a seminar-workshop on “Leadership and Networking: A Successful Partnership Among Librarians” at the PNU Library Conference Room. We invited again Mrs. Conti to share her knowledge on this matter. It aimed to involve the librarians from different organizations and libraries, update themselves on the latest trends and share what they have in terms of skills and resources with other librarians. This activity was very successful and well attended perhaps due to the early dissemination of the invitation and to the relevance of the topic. We were surprised to note that most of our participants were non-alumni and mostly from school libraries. Our sincerest gratitude to the former DepEd NCR Director, Dr. Corazon Santiago for the endorsement of the activities thru the different school superintendents in Metro Manila.

Today is the last activity of the year titled “Alleviating Anxiety.” It aimed to give you the theory of library anxiety and how it affects library use and how to alleviate the problem by providing practical recommendations.

FINANCIAL MATTERS

When I assumed the position of president, we really thought having fundraising activities because we cannot move without the funds. With so many projects in mind and after a brainstorming session, the Board agreed to the idea of having a raffle (the draw which we did earlier) to give scholarships to deserving PNU LIS undergraduate students. Again thank you so much for your untiring support by buying the tickets.

I know you are always ready to help the Association. Maybe next school year we will start to sponsor a scholar. The incoming members of the Board are expected to come out with the criteria on how to obtain this opportunity with the help of our faculty at the Department. Ms. Medina de Castro, our second time treasurer will report the details of our financial standing later.

MEMBERSHIP

Membership has always been a problem for some reasons: distance, no contact details, etc. So I am appealing to those active members to invite your friends and batch mates to involve themselves in the Association. As I have said we are still growing and we need your support. Everyone has to contribute in our own little way for the success of the organization. And lastly, please pay your dues voluntarily or else will hunt you… just kidding. I know it’s easy to ask you especially when it comes to our Association.

PUBLICATION

We proudly published the improved newsletter this time and may we give the recognition to Miss Bless Velasco, our PRO for the new format. We had two newsletters for this year. You are welcome to contribute if you have any idea or any announcements that you want to include in the newsletter.

BOARD MEMBERS 2003-2004

When I started to serve the Association in 2002, I was hesitant at first to be a part of an organization thinking that there will always be controversies or whatever… but it’s different in PNU-LISAA. We treated each other as friends, Tita Nora was like a real Tita to all of us. Everybody has the image of a “cowboy,” even if they wore high heels they won’t mind rushing to buy needed materials or carry a bulk of photocopied materials. That’s how I know my colleagues, very cooperative, “walang pasosyal.” I will surely miss the outgoing officers but don’t worry you’re just a phone call away. I am sure the next Board will give your respective assignments as members of the different committees. May I present each one of them, our ever pre-occupied Vice President Ms. Evelyn P. Nabus of Marikina Public Library; Ms. Ofelia Irabon of NSC, Secretary; Treasurer Ms. Medina de Castro of Sta. Isabel College; Mrs. Estela P.Montejo of Ateneo de Manila University, Auditor; Ms. Blesila Velasco of the National Library, PRO; and Board of Directors Ms. Jocelyn L. Ladlad of De La Salle University; Ms. Shirley Nava of Department of Justice; Ms. Carol Magsino, ms. Mary Ann Jimenez of DLSU-Dasmarinas, Mr. Antonio Resurreccion of Xavier School and Ex-officio Ms. Placida Socorro Limpin of Assumption College.

Thank you again for giving me this opportunity to become your president. I am very optimistic that someday if someone call you to be a nominee, please don’t refuse right away. I assure you, you will learn a lot in joining associations especially being a board member. Formal education is not enough to develop your skills but it’s also important to know hot interact with your fellow professionals. My sincerest gratitude to our dear fellow alumni, our regular “sukis,” who are enthusiastic in attending our activities, also to the faculty of the PNU LIS Department headed by Dr. Linda Tayona, thank you for all the support. And to all the members, you are our inspiration to keep the Association strong. I hope you will keep on supporting the Association. And lastly my appreciation to my family, to my husband who kept on tracking me down even if he’s miles away from me just to check that I am safe in my traveling from Nueva Ecija to Manila. Well that’s another story to tell. To my boss and only daughter, because I’m a full time mother now, thank you for bearing with me in time of my absences to attend our activities and regular meetings. Also not to forget, my relatives who were willing to substitute as my “yaya,” thank you so much for those help. But this will not be the end. Expect my full support to the Association even if I will become a regular member. Hope to see more of our alumni in our activities next year. Maraming salamat po!

A Shared Vision of A Dynamic PNU-LISAA

Acceptance speech delivered by Consuelo J. Estigoy during the 3rd General Assembly on November 21, 2003 at the PNU Library, Manila

Mrs. Fe Robles our inducting officer, Dr. Linda M. Tayona, Chairman of PNU LIS Department, faculty of the Department, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon.

I don’t know if I’m happy or sad. All I can feel is the exhilaration of new challenges. Thank you for permitting me to be your president.

I am honored by your faith in me and am especially honored to be following in the footsteps of our wonderful and talented past presidents. They have made the PNU-LISAA what it is today, which continues to grow and provide even greater service to the cause of our fellow alumni.

Actually, my acceptance of the responsibilities as president was made earlier; let me give you a little background on what happened. It was in the early part of July when I came back from the burial of my father, when I received the resignation letter of our president, Mr. Jing Bautista. I informed the group right away and during our regular meeting, I asked the Board if they would accept the resignation of Jing, to which they declined citing the upcoming election and there were only three months left to his term. I then sent my reply to Jing stating that the body didn’t accept his resignation, but then he made no reply and that was it. I was really devastated then because I just lost my father, then here, the president of the Association. But we had to move on. Thanks to my colleagues in the Board, they showed me their support and we continued to work as one.

My term will continue the rigid campaign for membership. Aside from collecting membership fees personally, maybe we can make our membership renewals thru bank transfers for those who cannot attend but are willing to pay their annual fees. As I’ve said earlier we are a non-profit organization so rely mostly on the membership fees we collect.

We will continuously update our directory of alumni and if possible we will provide each one a copy of this directory.

Also we will continue to conduct relevant seminars and for a with very affordable fees and competent speakers. And I’m thinking of a fundraising activity this coming year to sustain the expenses of the Association.

Another important activity will be to sponsor a scholarship grant to a deserving LIS student. And we will try to collaborate with other alumni associations and other library organizations to come up with a joint activity or project. Also, I encourage all members to visit and register in our email group @ PNULISAA@yahoogroups.com because we use this for our regular announcements and updates.

I hope you’ll bear with me in sharing my aspirations and I have a reason to believe that the best is yet to come.

I would like to take this opportunity to urge you to support our fresh and still growing Association. Each of you, in your own particular way have helped to set the stage for our continued success. According to a book I’ve read, to be effective, “A leader must be able to motivate those she leads, have a shared vision, and with the clarity of that vision, the skill to articulate it and perseverance to bring it to fruition while valuing all members of the association.”

In closing, I would like to express my thanks to my wonderful family for the support and understanding, my husband and only daughter who could not be here today but send their love and congratulations. Thank you and hope to see you all in our forthcoming activities.

2002 Accomplishment Report

Delivered by Placida Socorro L. Limpin during the 2nd General Assembly of the PNU-LISAA held at Sta. Isabel College on November 15, 2002

October last year, I took my oath as president of the Association while working as a college instructor. Today, I relinquish my position to my successor as a librarian. Two years in the Association and three jobs in between. From librarian, educator, and back to being a librarian.

I can say that it has been a very fruitful year for the Association. Last year, the Association was struggling for its dear life. This year, we have stood on solid ground.

The Officers and Board of Directors

The following were selected as officers and members of the Board: Medel Vincent Bautista – Vice-President, Ofel Irabon – Secretary, Consuelo J. Estigoy – Treasurer, Evelyn P. Nabus – Auditor, Medina de Castro – Auditor, Lorenza Dungca, Zarah Gagatiga, Erlinda Lagundi, Marilou Santos and Rowena Rueda - Board of Directors, Elnora Conti was ex-officio.

Like last year, we suffered a setback losing two officersin midstream. Since it was too late to take in replacements from last year’s nominees, the Board decided not to appoint a replacement anymore.

Accomplishments

The Association was able to come up with two for a, both were well-attended. In May, we had Thelma Japzon of the Civil Service Commission lecture on customer service. The forum was entitled “Proactive LIP’s: Committed to Customer Service.” We had no less than the PNU president, Dr.Nilo L. Rosas deliver the welcome address as he outlined his vision for the University’s library.

In August, the second forum entitled ”The Library as Venue for Literacy Development” was finally held after a series of postponements due to bad weather. The speaker for the forum was Ms. Del Hernandez from Ateneo de Manila Grade School Media Center.

We originally planned to conduct four forums for the year had not “Gloria” unleased her wrath last July. Of course, I am referring to “Gloria” the storm and not “Gloria” the president who is unleashing a storm of her own. But that is another story.

We also tied up with two independent organization for our outreach. Last January, we coordinated a round-table discussion in cooperation with the office of the Department of Education NCR Director Dr. Corazon Santiago, a fellow alumna, regarding the plight of school librarians. Mrs. Susima Gonzales was on hand to answer the concerns of public school librarians.

We also forged a partnership with the Children’s Library, a project of the Gokongwei Brothers Foundation. Seminar-workshops for public school teachers on indexing and cataloging were held in their three libraries with the Association providing the resource speakers for cataloging. Ms. Erlinda Lagundi was at Galleria, Ms. Zarah Gagatiga was at Novaliches, and Rosalina Soriano was in Imus. Mharlo Pua, the Chief Librarian of Children’s Library, has already expressed his desire to continuously work with the Association for a our mutual benefit.

I also represented the Association in the planning workshop for the forthcoming PLAI National Congress.

Fund Raising

We held a fund raising activity – a bingo social – on the afternoon of August 10, 2002, right after the forum. We were able to solicit the prizes for the winners, which contributed heftily to the Association’s back account. Please see our newsletter for the list of winners.

Financial Standing

On money matters, I am proud to report an increase in the Association’s bank account and I have to thank our treasurer, Connie, for coming up with the idea of a Bingo Social and for conceptualizing the activity.

Worth mentioning, too, was the sizeable donation of Dr. Enrique Coralejo, 2002 PNUAA president – all of ten thousand pesos – who took pity on the Association when he heard of our financial status while listening to the treasurer’s report last year. He was our inducting officer then.

I will leave the specifics with Connie, as she will be reporting on the present financial status of the Association.

Publications

We were able to publish four newsletters for the year, including this recent issue. Credit goes to Medy for her efficiency and persistence in following up articles. Allow me to mention that we do not spend anything for the reproduction of the newsletters. We use the resources of the officers, or at least those who have the resources in printing copies for distribution.

Membership

The alumni signing up for membership are increasing not by leaps and bounds but rather slowly. We started off at seventy (70) and today we number close to one hundred fifty (150). We are, however, not disheartened at all. That our number is increasing is a positive sign, but like all organizations, it is difficult to collect membership renewals. I hope the next set of officers can address this problem.

At this point in the life of the Association, I can bravely say that we have managed to carve a niche in the crowded world of professional library associations. Proof of this is the regular attendance of “sukis.” I feel that we have found a winning formula for a successful endeavor – timely, relevant, and useful topics for forums, competent and eloquent speakers, affordable registration fees, and food that fills the stomach. So who says you have to pay more to get quality service? Not here at PNU-LISAA. I hope someday, we will be known as a progressive library association.

If there is one person who is glad that my term has finally come to an end – he’s my husband. But what he doesn’t know is that I will always be here for the Association.

The shoes I will be leaving is not too big for Jing to fill in. I did not accomplish this alone. Despite the absence of two officers, I am thankful to have been given a hardworking, efficient, and dedicated officers. We have forged friendship across time and those times will be cherished.

I encourage the members of the Association to play an active role because this is a good training ground for organizational skills. Something you can’t learn from your work in one year.

To the outgoing officers, words are not enough to express my deepest gratitude. In time you shall reap what you have sown in the Association. I hope you all will become president of this Association someday.

To the incoming officers, just stick with our formula and you won’t do wrong. Jing cannot do things alone. Support him and be united just as we were united, in spirit and in ideals.

Thank you and good day.

Accomplishment Report: PNU-LISAA 2002-2003

Delivered by Consuelo J. Estigoy during the 3rd General Asembly, Nocember 21, 2003, PNU Library Conference Room

Good afternoon everyone.

On behalf of Mr. Model Bautista, the outgoing president of the Association, I am proud to present the accomplishment report for the year 2002-2003, despite some difficulties both human and limited resources, the members of the Board tried their best to serve the Association.

ORGANIZED FOR A AND WORKSHOPS

This year, the Association organized two fora and two workshops. Last February 22, 2003, we held a forum designed especially for the graduating students of our Alma Mater with the PNU LIS Department entitled “Preparing for a Successful Job Application” at the PNU LIS Library. We invited our fellow alumna, Ms. Dorothy Geronimo of the Asian Development Bank as our resource speaker.

On May 8-9, 2003, we held another interesting topic on “Promoting Literacy Through Storytelling” at the National Library as our venue. It aimed to promote library’s resources through storytelling; for teachers and librarians to share their knowledge through stories to stimulate the child’s mind. We invited experts like Prof. Minerva dela Paz, lecturer of UP College of Education, Ms. Roret Sison, librarian of International School, Manila, Dr.Luis Gatmaitan, a physician and writer, and our very own fellow alumni Ms. Zarah Gagatiga, librarian of Xavier School. Also we invited very dynamic storytellers like Ms. Melody of Alitaptap. Though we were a bit disappointed with the attendance, it was a great regret for those who missed the opportunity because the resource speakers were really competent, interesting topics and were beneficial especially for school librarians. Anyway, you better attend next time.

The third activity was a forum on “Systems Librarianship 101” held on August 29, 2003 held at the PNU Auditorium - a very relevant topic in this time of computer age. We invited a very proficient person on technology, Ms. Lourdes David, Director of Rizal Library, Ateneo de Manila University as our resource person.

And the last activity which was held today, a topic on “Proactive Communication Skills for Effective Librarians” with our fellow alumna and ex-officio Ms. Placida Socorro Limpin as resource speaker. It was intended to give you some tips on how to become a speaker and how to write an effective business letter.

The Association will sponsor a participant for the PLAI National Congress and for the fellowship as a show of support to the umbrella organization.

FINANCIAL MATTERS

Our treasurer, Medina de Castro will give you the details of our financial status later. But I’m happy to say that at least we survived despite the limited funds. Anyway, we’re not an income generating association. Some of the participants shouldered their expenses so we tried to lower our registration fees just to make it affordable especially for small libraries. We really did not generate income with the fora so we will think of a fundraising campaign in the future to sustain the needs of the Association and to generate funds for scholarship.

MEMBERSHIP

I’m happy to say that membership is increasing. Although there is a problem in collecting membership fees like in the previous years, but we will try to solve this next year. Maybe we can think other methods or procedures on how to collect our membership dues.

PUBLICATION

This year, we published two issues for the newsletter distributed to our members. We credit it to Antonio Resurreccion, our efficient PRO for producing the issues of the newsletter.

BOARD MEMBERS OF 2002-2003

The above accomplishments will not be successfully fulfilled if not for the diligent and devoted members of the Board. May I call each one of them: Estela Montejo of ADMU, Secretary; Medie de Castro of Sta.Isabel College, Treasurer; Ma. Evelyn P. Nabus of Marikina Public Library, Auditor; Mr. Antonio Resurreccion of Xavier School, PRO; Board of Directors, Gemma Cuna of Claret School, Lorenz Dungca of UPLB, Zarah Gagatiga of Xavier School, Jocelyn L. Ladlad of DLSU, Ofelia Irabon, Marilyn Zafra of Makati Science High School and Ms. Placida Socorro Limpin of Assumption College, Ex-officio.

To the outgoing officers, I want to express my sincerest appreciation for those rewarding and pleasant experiences we have shared.

To our sponsors, friends and fellow alumni, we are still hoping for your continued support.

Sana huwag nating pabayaan ang ating “Association “ dahil nasa atin ang buhay nito. Maraming salamat po!

Welcome Address of Dr. Nilo L. Rosas, PNU President

During the Lecture Forum “Proactive LIP’s: Committed to Customer Service” May 20, 2002 PNU Conference Hall

Isang mapagpalayang umaga sa inyong lahat! Sa mga taga PNU at sa mga bisita natin na galling sa iba’t-ibang mga pamantasan at “library centers” ditto sa loob at labas ng ka-Maynilaan.

Summer is regarded by most people as a time to take a respite from a busy and demanding year. However, in an academic institution like the PNU, it means a number of things. Primarily, it’s a time to accommodate teachers from different parts of the country for professional upgrading and intellectual exchange.

Some of these encounters take the whole summer duration while others last for only brief periods of time. This morning’s academic gathering takes on a different form – a lecture forum titled “Proactive LIP’s: Committed to Customer Service.” What a catchy and attractive title you have chosen for today’s venture!

I guess, for many who are alien to your circle the phrase proactive LIP’s would undoubtedly connote interesting thoughts, some of which maybe naughty or blue. But I like it because it makes people curious to know or discover when it really denotes and what you are really doing. The only adjective I know to describe LIP’s is kissable or sometimes attractive.

As president of this institution, a president for only ten (10) days, I feel elated that the University is finally pioneering in a number of professional organization because of the creativity and initiative of its faculty and graduates embarking on worthwhile endeavors. Since the PNU’s establishment a century ago, we have been known to blaze the trail on countless laudable initiatives. What the you, PNU-LISAA, are undertaking now is considered to be a concrete example of being proactive rather than reactive. Getting involved, being forward looking, collaborating, networking, these are all proactive commitment to service.

I commend the PNU-LISAA, first for organizing yourselves into a professional group that will provide leadership in the development, promotion and the improvement of library and information service. Secondly, for sponsoring this first of a series of four lecture for a specifically programmed for the year 2002-2003. I would also liketo commend the Department of Library Science for all this continuing short term programs aimed at enhancing the personal and professional development of librarians.

The great significance that your group gives to this cause will benefit a wide array of customers from students, to writers, to researchers, to book lovers and curious individuals who have no intentions but to see how a library looks like and what it can provide. The library is the lifeblood of academic life. Even in the meager volumes of our collection, limited staff and absence of the state of the art facilities, the PNU strives to be of service to its many users and clientele. I met Prof. Marasigan few days ago and went around to see our resources and discovered, there leaves so much to be desired. I do hope in a few years time, when you come back, our library would be a little different from what you see today

Hopefully, I like to bring my colleagues and staff to the topnotch libraries in and out of Metro Manila for benchmarking purposes. I hope I can bring them to SEAMEO-INOTEC, ADB, UST, De La Salle, Ateneo De Manila University and other topnotch universities using high technology in providing library and information services to our clients.

We pride ourselves by claiming that we are the prime national teacher education university and yet we may not provide state of the art resources in library services. I am enjoining the professors, headed by Dr. Linda M. Tayona to combine their expertise with the librarians of the University so that there can be a symbolic relationship between the two groups of academicians.

Binibigyang puri ko ang pamunuan ng PNU-LISAA sakanilang pagsisilbi at pagbibigay sigla sa ating “library science alumni” upang ang inaasam natin na mangyari ay magkaroon ng katuparan sa malapit na hinaharap. At iyan ang pagsulong at pangunguna ng PNU di lamang sa pagtuturo,maging sa “librarianship”din. Tangkilikin nating lahat ang mga sumusunod pang pagtititpon ng PNU-LISAA.]

On behalf of the PNU,PNU-LISAA and my own, I convey to each one of you a very warm and pleasant welcome most specially, to our guest speaker, Mrs. Thelma Japzon of the Civil Service Commission.

Hangad kop o ang tagumpay ng PNU-LISAA at ninyong mga “librarians.” Sa inyo pong lahat magandang umaga po at mainit na pagtanggap ang pinaaabot ko sa inyo.

As Good As You Want Us To Be

Inaugural Address of Placida Socorro “Peachy Limpin, 2002 President

I was a bit sad and disappointed with the attendance, since yesterday and especially today. But I take this as a challenge not only for me as the incoming president but also for the incoming board of directors to work harder, not that we did not work hard for this conference, since we planned for conference way back in July.

My sadness was turned to joy with the generous donation of Dr. Enrique Coralejo. As you can see on our financial report, we hardly have any funds left. Most of the time, we had to pick from our own pockets to fund some of the activities of the Association. Our letterheads and newsletters and anything that needed to be printed were printed using the resources of our offices. Be that as it may, we have struggled in our fiscal year.

What you have witnessed earlier – placing the medallion around my neck – was reminiscent of my graduation. Only this time the medal is way, way, way bigger than what I got when I graduated cum laude.

I can still vividly remember my freshman years while sitting in Social Orientation class, when I vowed to myself I will graduate with honors. This I am proud to say, I achieved. Not a small feat for me then, an aimless teenager. When I started working, I got envious of my colleagues who were active members of their own Library Science alumni associations. So I asked myself, “Bakit ang PNU wala? Bakit nga ba?”

This is all a dream come true, not only for me, but also for the faculty members of the PNU Library Science Department. An alumni association we can truly call our very own.

Our initial foray into the realm of organizing an association was tough to say the least. It was then I realized that it takes a lot, and I mean a lot to run an association. God has been very good to all of us in the Board. Now I truly believe that he grants us our wishes not when we want them granted but in His own time.

I would like to thank Ms. Shirley Nava for nominating me last year, though I had no idead then that I’d be the next president.

I cannot forget,and I’m also sad that she was not able to make it today to receive her Honorary Member Award, our lesson in Library Science 6 under Prof. Elinore H. De Castro. Our lesson then on library management was “A good leader is a good servant.”

So let us, your 2002 Board, serve you in the best way we can. A Board of Directors does not an association make. You, the members, are an integral part of the Association and we can be as good as you want us to be. Let us be of service to you. Let us know what you want and how we can be of help.

In its infancy, the Association has struggled and withstood the birthpains. I enjoin all of you to be one with us as we bring this Association on its own two feet.

Your officers cannot do this alone. We will continue with the brand of service we have provided in the past year. Trust in our officers that we only have the best of intentions for you.

Please continue supporting our activities. One of our projects, which is included in the action plan, is to give scholarships to students to encourage them to major in Library Science and to give research grants to masteral students.

We can only realize these with your wholehearted support. In our earlier forum where members were encouraged to sign up for committees they want to join, please expect a call from us anytime soon.

As we say in customer relation, “It’s nice to be of service.”

PNU-LISAA: Keep the Torch Burning

A Message of Elnora L. Conti
President 2000-2001

My warmest greetings to the organizing members of the Philippine Normal University Library and Information Science Alumni Association (PNU-LISAA) who officially organized in October last year.

This was the dream of our mentors, particularly those who are no longer with us today. Attempts were made in the past to organize, but did not materialize. We finally made it at the millennium and centennial celebration of our beloved Alma Mater. Now that we have finally made it, it is but fitting to celebrate. It is now our responsibility to sustain its existence, a legacy of the graduates of library and information science in this University.

As graduates of the Philippine Normal University (formerly Philippine Normal School, then Philippine Normal College), this prestigious, century-old university in teacher education, what role do librarians and information professionals have in our youth’s future? Our mission is to provide leadership for the development, promotion and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all Filipinos. We are the teachers’ partners in educating the youth. We are then committed to education and continuous learning, equity and access, freedom and literacy.

Initially, I have the following action goals for the Association:

- PNU-LISAA will support libraries and librarians by communicating clearly and strongly why libraries and librarians are both unique and valuable.
- PNU-LISAA will be a leader in the use of technology for communication with democratic participation, and shared learning among its members.
- PNU-LISAA will actively promote continuing education for librarians and library personnel.

We shall take the following initial steps:

- Register the PNU-LISAA with the Securities and Exchange Commission;
- Develop and prepare a detailed action plan of conferences and seminars for five years;
- Participate and get involved in development projects to improve the facilities of the PNU LS Department and the University in general;
- Participate actively in the development of curricular offering of the PNU LS Department;
- Launch an active campaign for membership.

The road ahead is not easy as a newborn association. We will have to struggle to find our place in the education and information society. I am aware of a lot of challenges, but when we work cohesively, we will overcome whatever difficulties we encounter.

As the first president of the PNU-LISAA, I am looking forward to lead the Association in advocating the value of libraries and librarians in promoting literacy in the country, thereby connecting our barrios to recorded knowledge in all forms. I enjoin every member to extend their whole-hearted cooperation and together let us uphold the Association’s Constitution and By-laws. I urge and challenge the PNU-LISAA membership to keep the torch burning.

The PNU-LISAA: A Year Today

Accomplishment report delivered by by Elnora L. Conti last 2001 president during the 2nd Annual General Assembly held on 20 October 2001 at the Corporate Inn Hotel

It has been a very fruitful year for the Philippine Normal University Library and Information Science Alumni Association, Inc. (PNU-LISAA, Inc.)

When I accepted the presidency last year, I did not have any qualms, no hesitancy and regrets for I felt I have a mission to fulfill – that of helping establish this Association. The calling to do something for my Alma Mater was great.

Successes and Accomplishments

I accepted the challenges of leading the Association because I was confident I am with a group of active but not hyper young blood board members who showed eagerness, cooperation, devotion and determination to help, participate. With such a short time, I am happy to report the following accomplishment of the Board.

A. PNU-LISAA constitution and by-laws including the seal of the Association.

B. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Registration – PNU-LISAA is now a duly registered non-stock, non-profit organization with registration number A200114750 dated September 27, 2001.

C. PNU-LISAA Action Plan 2001-2005 – With the help of the Board, we have established the mission and vision of the Association and intend to implement these goals in the next five years.

D. PNU-LISAA Newsletter – We came up with two (2) issues of the newsletter.

E. Membership – From the initial seventy (70), we are now a strong one hundred.

F. Activities Participated In –
1. Forum – As our participation to our Alma Mater’s Centennial celebration, we sponsored the “Forum on Making Libraries Imperative for the Betterment of the Country” on May 9, 2001 at the PNU Audiovisual Room with the late Senate President Neptali Gonzales and Architect Geronimo V. Manahan, president of Planning Resources and Operation Systems as our speakers. This was attended by more than 120 librarians and information professionals including the chair of the PRC Board for Librarians, Mrs. Susima Gonzales and was graced by the attendance of no other than the president of the Philippine Normal University, Atty. Lilia Garcia, as inducting officer.
2. PNU Centennial Celebration, August 27-September 2, 2001 - We help raised funds by soliciting T-shirts for sale at the Library Club’s booth at the trade fair. We participated in the Centennial Parade on September 1. We gave two thousand pesos donation to the Centennial fund raising by subscribing to the souvenir program.
3. PRC Directory of Registered Librarians – We also gave a 1000-peso donation/subscription to this forthcoming directory.
4. Yours truly represented the Association in a meeting with the NCCA-NCLIS where your officers signed the appeal to GMA not to appoint a non-librarian to NCLIS on August 20, 2001.
5. As our outreach, we gave book donation to a barangay in Rizal in a program held at the Philippine Normal University in December 2000. Our PRO, Jing Bautista represented our Association in the event.

G. “KM 4 LIP’s Knowledge Management for Librarians and Information Professionals” - PNU-LISAA sponsored annual conference in cooperation with Library Associates, Inc. and other co-sponsors.

H. The PNU-LISAA website project chaired by Ms. Rowena Rueda who is now with NEDA was completed.

Some Drawbacks

A. Resignation – Two members of the original board members resigned for personal reasons. We elevated the next two who got the next number of votes, as embodied in our by-laws. These two were Nelia Artieda and Jennifer Sagadal Sarmiento and were replaced by Medina de Castro and Lorenza Dungca. Last month, we learned that Ms. Amabel Sibug resigned from PNU and sent words that she is also resigning from the Association.

Final Words

Leading PNU-LISAA in the new millennium was the most challenging and exciting task I have ever undertaken. I could have not done all these without the help and cooperation of the Board and the trust, confidence and support you extended to me and your outgoing board of trustees. I consider myself blessed because God put all of you in my life as we went through the organization and complying with legal requirements of establishing our Association. As the saying goes, “When God wants to bless you, he puts a person or persons in your life.”

“You will only have significant success with something that is an obsession.” We had our obsession – that was to organize as an alumni organization, and we emerged victorious and successful in this task.

To close, let me lift this quotation from my favorite idol, “Ask not what PNU-LISAA can do for you, but what you can do for PNU-LISAA and to our dear Alma Mater.”

May I request everyone to continue to give the same trust, confidence and support extended to me to the new president, Ms. Peachy Limpin and to all succeeding officers and board of trustees.

Good luck, thank you and good day!

The PNU-LISAA: How It Came Into Being

By Peachy Lim-Limpin

On September 2, 2000, Dr. Linda M. Tayona, head of the Library Science Department, invited library science alumni to a reunion sponsored by batch ’69. She intended to gather as many alumni as possible to help in the centennial project of the university.

A handful attended the reunion, namely: Nelia Artieda, Petite Geronimo, Erlinda Lagundi, Carol Magsino, Evelyn Nabus, Rosemarie Uchi, Tess Villanueva, and yours truly.

Prof. Remedios P.Joven asked those of us present to elect among ourselves the officers of the alumni association. But we refused the offer and arrived at a consensus that we form a steering committee instead to organize a reunion. Prof. Joven welcomed the suggestion. She, then, became the chairman of the steering committee.

The time and date was scheduled on the afternoon of 21 October 2000. Each member of the committee was tasked to extend invitations to alumni by all means possible. Letters were sent, phone calls were made, newspaper releases were published and during the bookfair, announcements were done after each forum.

The Steering Committee met again on September 30 2000 to finalize the program which would include the election of officers. New faces attended the second meeting. They came and shared some ideas for the reunion. They were: Imelda Calingasan, Edwin Constantino, Lorenz Dungca, Ofel Irabon, and Rosalina Soriano.

The committee members were then assigned their tasks for the program. Everyone prayed for a successful assembly.

Then came the most awaited day. The graduate students and specialization students helped out in the registration. The library science majors even prepared a dance number. The food was more than enough to quench the hunger and thirst of those present. I hosted the program together with Petite Geronimo. To cut the story short, it was a success! Seventy-eight alumni attended the reunion. Not bad for starters.

Nothing earth-shaking really. But the hard part is sustaining the Association and encouraging members to join. With several attempts in the past to organize an alumni association, the burden is on the officers to strengthen what was started.

Good luck to us all!

Ramos heads alumni organization

(Acceptance speech delivered by Roderick B. Ramos (PNU College Librarian) during the 7th General Assembly last December 8, 2007 at the Library Lobby of the Edilberto P. Dagot Hall, Philippine Normal University.)

Prof. Corazon M. Nera and TJIC Director Ms. Elnora Conti, chair and member of the Board for Librarians, respectively, Professors Miguel M. Cobaria and Ruben P. Marasigan, past presidents of the Association, fellow officers, guests, friends, ladies and gentlemen.

It’s a beautiful day for all us because today is the 7th General Assembly of PNU LIS alumni and this is a fitting program to welcome us all back, discover new members and meet the 2008 executive board for the Philippine Normal University Library and Information Science Alumni, one caring alumni group.

I believe that serving as the group’s leader for one year is easier than being a family man for there is a team of great persons in the Association – circle of presidents that includes Mrs. Elnora Conti (TJIC), Mrs. Socorro L. Limpin (Australia), Mrs. Consuelo Estigoy (ELJMC), Mrs, Evelyn Nabus (PLM), Mrs. Medina Castro (SIC) and Mrs. Estela Montejo (ADMU) and committed alumni-officers like Jocelyn L. Ladlad (DLSU), Noemi Cabantog (SPCP), Flordeliz Siochi (NCCA), Connie Fermanejo (CvSU), Marifi E. Navarro (ESS), Rosalina Soriano (GASAT), Marites K. Chavez (CNHS), and Antonio R. Resurreccion (XS).

Looking ahead for a more fruitful year, I accept the obligations and responsibility that go with being the new president of PNU-LISAA, Inc. I hope to get strength and wisdom from all of you and would like to share Sirach’s verse to everyone for a big task to accomplish each day of 2008:

Each of us is given a great deal of work to do and a heavy burden lies in all of us from the day of our birth until the day we go back to the earth.

LLE 2008 BOARD PASSERS

Congratulations to PNU LIS Alumni! Please e-mail Ma. Evelyn Nabus ; for your profile and attendance to the 8th general assembly of PNU-LISSA, Inc., A Caring Alumni Group, with forum on December 5, 2008 at St. Michael's College, Laguna.

2006-2007 Outgoing President’s Report

By Estela A. Montejo, President

Director Nera, PRC BFL Chair, Dr. Orendain, Philippine Normal University Librarian, and PNU Library Science Professors, Prof. Miguel Cobaria, Prof. Ruben P. Marasigan, fellow officers of the PNULISAA and alumni: Good Afternoon.

Another year has come and gone. In behalf of the PNULISAA Executive Board, I proudly present to you the following accomplishments for the year 2006-2007.

SCHOLARSHIP GRANT

Our first scholar, Ms. Johanna Jayne S. Tacus, a second year student of BLIS.

In one of our meetings, I asked the board that the scholarship fund be given enough funding para hindi maubusan and the board agreed since generating funds is a daunting task for the Association. But it was fortunate that generous friends and colleagues were always around to offer financial support for the Scholarship Fund. Maraming salamat po sa patuloy na pagsuporta. As of today, we have a total of 19,100.. (Sana madagdagan pa, baka meron gustong mag-pledge…) The 10,000 came from the Association’s fund.

MEMBERSHIP

There are a total of 178 alumni in the general membership. There are about 50% are active and the rest are out of reach. The current board decided to increase membership fee from 100 to 150.00 and the increase of 50.00 will be effective this year.

ALUMNI DIRECTORY

In an effort to update the PNULISAA Alumni Directory, a new database has been developed by the Membership Committee members, Lorenz Dungca and Ms. Thess Chavez. From our old database and the newly paid members were added to come up with the new list or directory. This is really important to be able to reach out and disseminate information for all the members. If you have email addresses, we need your email so we can include you to our yahoogroups to keep you informed of the Association’s activities and alumni whereabouts. Also we can send the newsletter via the Internet to minimize the cost of mailing that is eating up our resources.

Newsletter

The Association’s newsletter is supposed to be published twice a year. However, due to limited resources and time for the officers to work for the newsletter, the board decided to publish one issue this year instead of the usual two issues. I hope the new board will be able to publish regularly.

Library Tour and Forum

“Outsourcing: U.S. Government Web sites and other Information Sources” was well-attended activity of the Association. It was held at the Thomas Jefferson Information Center. This activity was intended for PNULISAA members only, also served as a get-to-gether for PNULISAA members. Organizing activity for the members is one way of attracting/inviting PNU graduate of LS who are members or no interest in being members before. At least this activity would made them realized the importance of being a member. About 40 alumni members (including the officers) attended this forum. Then, participants were also toured around the library and chambery of the Embassy by Mr. Bruce Armstrong, Cultural Affairs Officer.

Seminar-workshop

“Library customer care” was organized to introduce customer care to the library profession’ utilize accepted customer care models in the practice of the library profession and enrich the customer’s library experience. It was held on August 14-15, 2007 at the PNU Library Conference room. Resource speakers were experts in the field with topics ranging from Professional care across all services; Library customer care as an institutional marketing tool and marketing brands and models – were truly enriching, interesting topics and appreciated by the participants. Request to repeat this seminar is being considered, and will be handled by the next board.

The incumbent board deserves a pat on the back for its efforts and leadership in achieving these objectives. May the humble accomplishments mentioned achieve the Association’s objectives and serve as encouragement to the incoming set of Executive Board. May I ask the incumbent officers to please rise to be recognized. Thank you very much!
