President’s Report 2004-2005
By Evelyn P. Nabus
It has been a year since I accepted the responsibility as president of this Association and now the time has come for me to turn-over the duties and responsibilities to the incoming president. But before that, allow me to present the achievements of the board for the year 2005.
Organized fora and workshop
As part of the yearly activity of the Association, last February, we held the 3rd annual career planning workshop for all graduating students of LIS, in coordination with the Department. It aimed to help the graduating class prepare for their job hunt. The activity included how to prepare an application letter and resume and how to prepare for an interview. The resource person was no less than our very own, the energetic Ms. Jocelyn L. Ladlad of De La Salle University.
On August 17, we held a lecture-workshop on “Cataloging in a Networked Environment” at the PNU library multimedia center. We invited, as our resource speaker, to share her expertise in cataloging, also our very own, Ms. Estela Montejo with the help of her colleague Ms. Michelle Panti of Ateneo De Manila University. The activity aimed to make cataloging easy with the help of available web resources.
Thirty-six librarians, both public and private schools attended the half-day lecture-workshop. We extend our gratitude for the sponsors on that day, the Manila Bulletin for the laptop used by the speakers and Gakken Philippines for the wireless LCD projector.
Financial Matters
Some of our past and present officers pledged certain amount of money to our coffer for the scholarship, and we are still waiting for the other alumni who may want to share their blessings also. We are still in the process of preparing documents and selection criteria for the scholarship program.
Membership
We are now in our 5th year of existence, but membership is still a problem with us, as to how we can reach out to alumni. We worked hard to establish this Association, so we are asking your help, active members to invite your classmates to be part of the Association. This is ours: share your expertise, time and sometimes your resources for the benefit of the Association.
We extend our gratitude to Lorenz and Ofel for emailing some names of their classmates and we are expecting more emails of alumni from you active members.
We published at least 2 newsletters a year. We are encouraging you members to contribute articles, announcements or ideas that you want to include in the newsletter. We also have one web site which we share with the Department at http://pnulibraryinfoscience.blogspot.com. The site’s name is PNU-LIS Updates and is maintained by a core group of alumni.
Board Members 2004-2005
As one of the pioneer in this Association, I’m proud to say that the Association survived for 5 years now and that is because all of you who supported our activities. I take great pride in being part of a team that always works as one, walang pataasan, and everyone is welcomed to contribute his ideas during brainstorming. It is indeed a commitment to all of us to work for the benefit of our Association. I will miss the group, especially the laughter during our meeting. May I present each one of them, our very energetic vice president, Ms.Medina de Castro of Sta. Isabel College; Ms. Myrna Fortus of Araullo High School, secretary; Ms. Bless Velasco of National Library, treasurer; Ms. Vivian Gallardo of Philippine Cultural High School, auditor; Mr. Roderick B. Ramos of Philippine Normal University, PRO; and board of trustees, Ms. Jocelyn Ladlad, DLSU; Ms. Mary Ann Jimenez, DLSU-Dasma; Ms. Estela Montejo, ADMU; Mr. Antonio Resureccion of Xavier School; and ex-officio Ms. Consuelo Estigoy.
Thank you for your support to all our activities under my leadership as president. If someone will call you to be part of the team don’t hesitate to accept the nomination. I know you will enjoy and learn more. Also a sincerest gratitude to our dear fellow professionals who are always willing to attend and support all our activities, and to the faculty, who serve as our inspiration to continue our journey. This is not the end, always expect my full support to the Association, you can always reach me through cell phone or email anytime you need me. Hope to see more of our fellow alumni in our future activities.

Acceptance Speech by Medie De Castro, Incoming President 2005-2006
Mrs. Susima Gonzales, our inducting officer, Dr. Linda M. Tayona, Chairman-PNU LIS Department, Prof. Ruben P. Marasigan, Chief Librarian, Prof. Miguel M. Cobaria and other members of the LIS Dept., colleagues in the profession: Good Morning!
Based on the By-Laws of the Association, if your are elected as the vice-president, automatically, you will be the conference chair for the whole term. That’s why, when I got elected as vice-president, I felt hesitant to accept the position because as you all know being a conference chair is a very difficult task. But with the help and cooperation of my co-officers and members of the Board and ex-officers like Ms. Placida Socorro Limpin and Connie J. Estigoy and with the guidance of our advisers, especially Professors Ruben P. Marasigan and Miguel M. Cobaria, I can say that I successfully passed the challenge and am ready to accept more challenging tasks ahead and to respond to the concerns of our Association.
Our group will continue the plan of activities of the outgoing president. Primarily, the Scholarship Program for deserving LIS students. Hopefully, we can start the program this coming June 2006. With this, we are asking your help through your monetary pledges and tapping other alumni to share their resources so that we could raise funds and continue to support the program.
We are aiming also to conduct not just fora but a series of seminar-workshops in and outside Metro Manila for the professional growth of our members as well as the non-members.
Lastly, I would like to appeal to all the members to actively participate in all the activities of the Association and religiously pay your annual membership dues in order to sustain the financial needs of the Association. Once again, good day and thank you!

Ateneo librarian now president to PNU-LISAA, Inc
Estela Montejo, professional cataloger of ADMU, along with other officers and board members have been inducted to officership last December 9, 2006 at a PNU-LISAA, Inc. general assembly. Here written is her acceptance speech:
New President’s Goals
Our beloved Board for Librarians, Member, Mrs. Elnora Conti, PNU Library Science Professors; Dr. Tayona, Prof. Ruben Marasigan (etc.) and our new Chief Librarian Dr. Mary Orendain, Guests, Past Presidents of PNULISAA, Fellow officers, Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen, a pleasant Good morning and welcome to PNULISAA 6th General Assembly and Induction ceremonies.
I am indeed very happy that you are present at this occasion. Being here is already a manifestation of your persisting interest in our Association’s programs and activities.
Let me first narrate how my involvement with our association came about, the first I was appointed as an officer (as secretary) of the Association was in 2002, with Mr. Jing Bautista as our president. Mr. Bautista approached me during the General Assembly and asked me to be the Secretary of the Association, at first, I was reluctant to accept his invitation, thinking that I wouldn’t be able to make it because I knew then that accepting would mean commitment and acceptance of responsibilities and challenges the new board will be facing ….(dahil sa awa ko at nahiya rin ako sa kanila tinanggap ko at sabi ko sige susubukan ko). This is my 5th year in service of the Association, having been re-elected every year since 2002. I must say I have gained enriching experiences and learned to love the Association, the officers and members I worked with, and the library profession as well. Last year you chose me to be the Vice-president, which makes me your president elect for 2006-2007.
Looking at this crowd and realizing the position that I now occupy, I cannot help but feel a bit overwhelmed, nervous and even intimidated by your expectations from me as the president.
Your support and trust will be my motivation to effectively accomplish my duties and to reach the goals we have set. Everyone in this gathering will agree with me that the success of the Board does not depend solely on the President. Our success relies heavily on the cooperation of the executive members and the active support and participation of all the members of the Association; we are all part of this Association. I therefore urge you to participate in the planning and implementation of our projects and share your ideas freely with the current officers.
The Association needs fresh ideas from fresh graduates, so I am also convincing you to join the executive board next year.
In behalf of the 2006 Board, let me present to you my plans and programs for the year 2006-2007.
Membership Campaign
We would like to appeal to our fellow alumni to renew their memberships or become lifetime members.Alumni Directory This year we will compile and publish an Alumni Directory. This is very important tool in reaching out and in disseminating information to all our members.
Seminars/Trainings
We will continue organizing seminars/trainings, one held annually a lecture-workshop on Career talk for PNU Library Science graduating students. (At least 2 seminars for a year). We have a big number of alumni who have made their mark both local and international scene. We will tap their skills and resources or a speaker for this activity and we hope that they will be more than willing to support us in this endeavor.
Scholarship Grants
This is for LS students, the guidelines were set already and hopefully we can implement this by this coming school year. Those who are interested just inquire at the Department or Dr. Tayona’s office.
With these as my guide, and with your confidence, I appeal to all of you to help me achieve these goals. Again, we will not be able to accomplish all these things without your support and total involvement in all our undertakings.
I pray to God Almighty for his blessings and guidance in all our activities. Again, thank you and God bless us all.

With these as my guide, and with your confidence, I appeal to all of you to help me achieve these goals. Again, we will not be able to accomplish all these things without your support and total involvement in all our undertakings.
I pray to God Almighty for his blessings and guidance in all our activities. Again, thank you and God bless us all.
Medina de Castro speaks at a general assembly
PNU-LISAA, Inc President Medina de Castro congratulated officers and board members of the Association for having a fruitful year in a general assembly at the PNU conference room last December 9, 2006. Here written is her speech:
Mrs. Nora Conti, Dr. Mary Orendain, Dr. Linda Tayona, Prof. Ruben Marasigan, Prof. Miguel Cobaria and other members of the LIC Dept.; my co-officers, members of the Association; colleagues in the profession, GOOD MORNING!
When I was preparing this report, I read and reviewed content of my acceptance speech last year and I discovered that some plans and activities written in my acceptance speech did not materialize.
Nagawa ba ang mga dapat. And my inner self said, “ OO naman, we tried, performed and did our best!We we were not able to accomplish all but have done the following:
1. We conducted an annual career orientation last February 2006 at the PNU Multimedia Room with Ms. Dolly Decinal as our resource speaker. The career orientation is an annual activity of the association to help LIS students prepare for job hunt.
2. Last August 16, we held a seminar-workshop on “Library Marketing Strategy that Works.” Invited speaker was Mrs. Lleuvelyn Cacha, of Ateneo De Manila University and she shared knowledge on “Library Marketing in the Digital Age”. Our very own Mrs. Zarah Gagatiga, Head Librarian of Xavier School, also spoke on the topic “Creative Use of School Libraries for Pre-School and Basic Education” with focus on storytelling & puppetry for library development. This activity was very successful and well attended perhaps due to very interesting seminar topics.
3. I can say that participation to the National Book Week celebration last Nov. 24-29 is another accomplishment. The PNU-LISAA, Inc. officers, board members, and PNU librarians headed by Dr. Maria Orendain attended the Fellowship Dinner last Nov. 29. The Association was also well-represented even in the Fun Walk activity held last Nov. 24.
4. Scholarship. The Association is ready to adopt PNU LIS scholars on a semestral basis which will begin before the year ends. The new officers and board members shall encourage everyone to support a fund for this very noble mission of the Association.
5. Membership. If you will notice, our theme for this day is “BALIK PNU LIBRARY”. Our aim is to welcome and bring members back again to the PNU-LISAA, Inc. We observed that very few PNU-LISAA members attended the previous activities of the Association. Most of our participants from the previous fora and seminars were non-alumni and mostly from school libraries for which we are, also, very thankful for. We know that we are able to help school librarians in their professional growth and their attendance assist the Association in terms of financial needs. Iilan lang po sa ating mga alumni ang bayad sa inaasahang membership fees para sa PNU-LISAA. So, I am appealing to all the members to pay your annual membership fees to support the incoming activities of the association.

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, PNU LIS Department chairman, 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 a 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.
