Faculty Meeting of Central Management and Economics Cluster

Rockwell Ctr, Makati City, PHL   |  May 6, 2013

                                Ms. Constantino making her presentation on the PAASCU thing

I attended the meeting of Central Management Cluster under Prof W. Constantino last May 2, 2013.   I consistently failed to attend the meetings she called for because of conflicts of schedule.  Her agenda was mainly about action plan on the PAASCU accreditation.

They are about:

l.  PhD scholarship

2.  Research:

        l.  Publication
        2.   Student work publication

However, this  raised question on the career path being envisioned for GSB professor, the academic orientation of  PAASCU accreditation vs the work based qualification of most of current
GSB professors, and lack of tenure of part time professors (contract is every semester only)  There is a disconnect.  Those who are over 60 (like me) and busy in their work could not care less regarding this development/question.

 Those are  Prof Noemi Martin (fmr student) and Winne facing the camera

Consultation on Tube Ice business yesterday with Dra VG

Angono, Rizal   PHL   | April 29, 2013

I had consultation/mentoring with one of the MBAH entrep students.  It was supposed to be last Saturday but it rained so hard and there was even thunder and lightning.  I could not leave up to 4 30 and our meeting was supposed to be at 5:30 at the Podium and I had to beg off.  It was reset yesterday at SM Taytay.

Call that interest and passion;  while others were texting me on postponement of the deadline (too late) this guy was on fixing the finer points of her business plan.  Instead of just advising her on the business of tube ice:

I advised her on how to save energy costs;

On use of solar for cooling

New business concept for her (instead of just selling ice)

It was an opportunity to learn more outside the box, be creative and bring her business to new level
