AUGUST ACTIVITIES
General Assembly The General Assembly was held last August 1 at the Little Theatre.
The event was held to inform its members of JPIA's past activities, update its members about the upcoming activities for the year, formally introduce the year's Executive Board, and to bond and strengthen camaraderie among its members. Moreover, in the Opening Remarks given by Mr. Ronaldo Quiambao, moderator, he emphasized that attending the General Assembly is an important contribution to the organization to make it successful. Because of this goal, the members were informed of their duties to the organization - one of which is attending activities prepared exclusively for them, like the General Assembly. Therenzy Anne Cabrera, VP & Aizel Castro, Secretary, discussed the Constitution & By-Laws of JPIA so that members would know that the EB (Executive Board) are not the only ones who have responsibilities with the organization; rather, the members, having been officially registered during the Recruitment Week, have tasks to fulfill, too. - (Arah Beatriz Villanueva) |

Worksheet Distribution Worksheet is the most useful tool for accounting students. In this paper we learn different values such as discipline, neatness and obedience. We become disciplined because we make sure that our papers do not have erasures and our answers are accurate because writing in the worksheet is like reporting to the external and internal users, it should be accurate and complete. We assure that our worksheet is clean and neat before submitting it to our respected professors. Lastly, we obey our professors at all times; there are instances that they will direct us on where we should place our final answers and its corresponding solutions so that it will be easier to check our papers and if we do not follow their instructions our answers will be marked wrong. We obey them because we trust them. This project “Worksheet Distribution” not only gives us free worksheet but it also gives us a reason to continue in learning the values that our professors taught us.

JULY ACTIVITIES
Livelihood Project
JPIA held its annual livelihood project last July 25, 2011 at the Santisima Trinidad Community Hall. A livelihood seminar on the process of making dishwashing liquid soap was conducted for the women and housewives of the adopted community. JPIA invited Mr. Allan Puchero from the Donaire Company to conduct the seminar. The fourth year BS Accounting Technology class & The third year BSA & BS Accounting Technology went together with the JPIA officers to support this livelihood project.
During the seminar, the process of the dishwashing liquid making was discussed step by step. The costing of the raw materials and the packaging of the end products were also discussed by Mr. Puchero. This would be the training ground for the women of the Satisima to start their own livelihood. JPIA provided the raw materials needed for the dishwashing liquid making. The women of the Santisima Trinidad Community will be responsible for selling the dishwasing liquid soap they will produce provided the raw materials and knowledge needed through this livelihood project. Only two percent (2%) of the sales would be given back to JPIA to support other upcoming projects of the organization.

Recruitment Week
The Recruitment Week was held last July 13-15 at the Kuniberta Hall. The event was a venue to formalize the membership of the BS Accountancy & BS Accounting Technology students, who were automatically given a regular membership, in accordance with the Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution & By-Laws of JPIA. Meanwhile, in the same article, non-accountancy students were considered as auxiliary members.
Members were given freebies, such as hand sanitizers, notepads, pens courtesy of Deloitte, and such stubs which entitles the members to three worksheets, which was distributed during the midterms week. A "photobooth" was set up during the first day. They were also given a chance to earn prizes by solving mind games. The booth was inspired by "Empire State of Mind" ot the corporate world scenario, where JPIANs are bound to be at. The activity is organized by the Student Council every year and is participated by all accredited student organizations in the college unit. - (Arah Beatriz Villanueva) |
Paper Drive
Last July 6, the Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants launched a paper drive project. One of our objectives is to open the minds of the Scholasticans that there is an existing problem regarding the proper waste disposal. The paper drive boxes have been placed in the 2nd and 3rd floors of the St. Benedict Building for the past four weeks. It is to gather papers that can still be recycled. The papers that have been collected will be properly segregated into two purposes, first if the papers are fully used, it will be sold to junk shops. If the papers are still clean, and the back portion of it has not yet been used, it will be recycled into a notepad which can help us generate profit to fund our recent and incoming projects, like supporting the financial needs of the Night Secondary School students. This project is a way of the organization in answering the call of our school to become leaders in the service of creation.
