Meeting 3

                 This third meeting for our Field Trips and Seminars class AY 2015-2016 was held on May 29, 2015 a Friday afternoon at the Institute of Computing Laboratory 1. In this meeting we had the agenda regarding the course itself, the list of activities that will commence during the undertaking of this course, the itinerary of the major field trip, the requirements that were needed to be filled up and filed. 

                After the round up of attendance the first agendum was tackled. The first part of the meeting was dedicated to explaining what the subject’s purpose and what its requirements are. The next agendum to be dealt with was the list of activities under this course. This list of activities includes what will happen in the major and minor field trips. The main thing that was discussed in this part of the meeting was the number of companies that should be visited and what companies should they be. The class president presented a list that stated the six (6) most feasible to be visited. Aside from this we needed one more company to add to the list, lest every section making up the whole of the FTS class was asked to nominate one. The nominated companies must not be to deviate too far from the city of Manila since this may cause transportation problems. ADMU gained the highest number of votes with 22 out of 62 who voted, while DOST earned the second place with 19. The class president then declared to seek with priority in getting coordination with ADMU, if not DOST will be next in line. Another part of the itinerary that was discussed was the registration for Y4iT. The class president informed everyone that the seminar will be held at SMX Convention Center on September 9-11, with this the early bird registration happening on June 30, 2015. There were 2 options presented for the Y4iT registration, one having a cost of Php 760.00 inclusive of congress badge and T-shirt and the other at Php 600.00 inclusive of congress badge only. The congress T-shirt designs from the organizers were presented so as to let us choose whether to go for the first or the latter. Majority chose the first option, but those who would want to stick with the second option can still register under their choice. After tackling the itinerary the next agendum was the documentary requirements needed by the class members and must be given on time to the FTS officers. These documents were the model waiver stub, duly notarized parent consent, medical certificate, COR, and the Conditions for Activities Outside the Campus Form. The class president then informed everyone that these documents be compiled and submitted to them on or before the 1^st week of class so as to provide ample time in sorting such enormous volume of paperwork. The next agendum was about the Interpersonal Skills and Team Building activity. This said activity was tentatively scheduled on July 20, 2015 at the University Social Hall by the class president. The last topic to be discussed was about the minor field trip which was still under deliberation at that time by the officers as to which company to visit.

                The meeting went all well with everybody informed as to what was going to happen. The meeting adjourned after 3:00 PM.
