JECOS

Indeed having God as the center of everything will truly result good. I’m so blessed after hearing the story of Jeco’s or how it did start. From a humble beginning to be one of the most highly demanded restaurants at commercial center in Mindanao State University, Marwi City. Not just only that they already have their branch at Naawan, one of the system of the university.

Their business started on distributing a “Suman sa Latik” to the neighborhood until they raised a sufficient amount of money to have their own building for them to offer variety of food. It was a partnership enterprise. The origin of the name of their business which is JECOS comes from the first letter of every partner’s name.

According to the manager their secret in reaching their position now is no other than but God. They consider their business as blessing for them to bless others. In their operation process they applied the rule of holiness before God. There should be no any relationship between their employees if it can’t be avoided they will give a decision to the employee either they will be married and continue their work or if not they will be terminated. It’s my first time to hear this kind of policy in such a food establishment and I really appreciate it. And all of their decisions such as to expand or not or any changes to be made to their business they will inquire it to God first before doing it. So, now I understand why there business reaches the success they have right now despite and in spite of the location that they have. It is God who is with them and I do believe that when God is there no one can be against them. Indeed from “Suman sa Latik into Bonggastik” is all I can say to them.

Now despite that they already offer variety of food still there “suman sa latik” is always and forever present because for them it is the instrument which is used by God to reach what they have right now. So, they will never take it from their food offering said by the manager.

My Journey in MSU - MSU MY HOME

Being far away from your family is not easy especially if you are not used to it. Hello everyone I am Mariel a fourth year Marketing Student and this is my journey in MSU-Main Campus.

First and foremost, this university is really my desired school since from the start and I don’t know why. Despite and in spite of the negative news or feedbacks from others about this campus still I really want to be here and have my study. And also with regards to its distance from my hometown it doesn’t hinder my desire to really be here. That’s how curious I am with regards to this university and I can’t hide the excitement in me.

Way back then on the day of my first arrival in this university, indeed it was unforgettable moment for me. I have no idea about where to go, who are those people I’ve been meeting, and where to stay. It was Sunday on that day and I arrived here at 6pm plus then my friend who is the one who became my guide lead me to a training apartment (Christian Training Apartment) but at that moment I really have no idea that it was a training apartment so it was not a big deal with me. But at that night I realized that how God did designed our first personal encounter. That time when I arrived in the apartment it was their intercession time they invited me and the word in that day is really for me. It was a transforming message that for me it really made me turn into 180 degree in my life. That night I can’t sleep despite of all the tiredness because I really did internalize the word and it made me realized that God has a purpose why I came here. It was not about my academics, my friend who brought me here or anything in this world but it is because God called me for the urgent purpose and that is to work for his kingdom.

Yes, I admit that at first there are many doubts about God’s purpose but along the way he allowed me to understand it and teach me to love his teaching and him of course for me to be equipped on the things that he will be giving to me. Indeed my life with God was so amazing despite and in spite of waves in life still at the end all I can say is praise the Lord and through it also I can really feel that God really worked in my life.

In my life now all I can say is that I’m really living under God’s sufficient grace and provision even in my academics indeed I can really say that its God who for it and not me. Along the way as I allowed myself to be used in building God’s kingdom he is the one also who work in every aspects of my life. I’m so happy being here in this university indeed it is not an accident and now I can really say that it is my home as well. Now, I am happy nurturing my six flocks with God and its really amazing feeling that you can see that they too were growing with God.

Teamwork a Key of Possibility!

As of today’s temperature we can truly say that it is not normal. As times goes by we are experiencing a very hot temperature. Everyone is aware why these things happen in our environment. But not everyone wants to respond in preventing it.

As to our advocacy to help in preventing the worst scenario we are experiencing right now in our mother earth we are being tasked by our instructor to convince one particular food store in Mindanao State University, Marawi City who are catering the commoners either student, professionals, or what professions they have in their life as to be our partner in preventing our mother earth from its unusual condition. And for this to be able to achieve we are going to convince our chosen store to give discounts to their customers who will buy food form them by using Tupperware or anything aside from plastics cellophane. These discounts would be: cash discounts wherein there supposedly payment will be deducted by one peso or two it depends on the owner or they will be free of one viand if they will be buying more than Php 50.00 of food.

As of the condition in the premises within the university’s environment we can truly say that it is one of the reasons why the unusual conditions happen to our mother earth right now. By simply doing this kind of activity although it is not easy because you don’t know what would be your agreement to the food store it really did contribute a lot for the prevention of the continuous unusual condition of our mother earth. And for me the idea of doing this to realized the goal in preventing the unusual happening in our environment is really smart and effective. With the used of this strategy which is "teamwork it is not impossible" as the saying says by Henry For it states that "Teamwork coming together is a beginning, keeping together is a progress, and working together is success.

Musical Extravaganza 2014 - MSU Main, Marawi City

MUSICAL EXTRAVAGANZA 2014-MSU MAIN, MARAWI CITY

Being a host in one of the biggest event in the university is not easy! But being a host also is a privilege. A privilege to showcase the talent that the college being assigns has. In this year intramural it was the College of Business Administration and Accountancy who was being held as the host of the said event.

We all know that CBAA is known to be competitive, competitive in every aspect. So, I do believe that most of the students, faculty, staffs, even deans in every colleges were expecting a good preparation for this event. And indeed as what I have observed and heard from the feedback of my co-students in this university regarding to the said events were all so good. Indeed they said that CBAA can be trusted whatever you may entrust to them. Hurry for the dean, every chairperson of the different departments, faculties, and staff in the college.

Act of surrendering

Act of Surrendering

Being nothing is not easy! It needs well-founded faith, security, and intimacy before God. I am a fourth year students taking up Entrepreneurial Marketing students and also a disciple/servant of God. Being entrusted with people to be raise into God’s kingdom is not easy.

Before, when I was in my baby Christian life my routine is just simple. I didn’t feel any pressure or anything until I grow and grow and found out that a Christian life is not a life that you were lying in the bed of roses but it is a life which is lying in the bed of roses with a lot of thorns.

Now I’m on the process of totally surrendering to God. Yes! It is not easy especially I have a lot of dreams, wants, and things to achieve. But I know that there is nothing which is more important than knowing Christ. Yes, not for boasting but God entrusted me six flocks to be feed, nurture, and train for his kingdom. There are times that I don’t really have time for my academics and other concerns but I do believe that it is God who will save it, increase it, and guard those things for me. All I must do is to trust him fully and obey.

Jema Days Celebration

Jema Days the high spot every first semester in the Department of Marketing College of Business Administration and Accountancy. The activity will usually held during last week of July or first week of August. Categories of activity were being formed such as literary which comprised of poster making, quiz show, and easy writing, musical which comprised of extempo, vocal solo, vocal duet, acapella, cheer jingle, and other activities such as group impersonation, marketing pitch, video ad, print ad. During the parade there are also competition what year will be the best arc, maingay sa daan, most discipline and so others. But the most awaited part of the celebration is the search for Mr. and Ms. JEMA 2014-2015.

Every year level was too busy for the preparation because all of us wanted to get the big trophy. And also this event is not just an ordinary but extra-ordinary because of our "bigantin" sponsor's.

As a batch president in the senior level it is really compression in our part because the fact that were in higher level so many expect that we will win.

We spend a lot of overnights to prepare everything and honestly we can’t avoid especially me and my treasurer who is always willing and available every time I need help that some of our subjects will be taken for granted. It was so frustrating and enervating in our part but we praise God because every effort and everything that we give up for that celebration results victory. We became the overall champion during this year Jema Days Celebration. I’m so thankful for all of my batch mates, co-officer for the support that they gave and for sharing their talents for us to win. All I can say is that you guys deserved to win. And were thankful also for the lower years for inspiring us to give our best and also we give all the thanks giving to our God for his grace and favor that enable us to win.

GREEN MARKETING EXHIBIT

Students or everyone’s awareness about green marketing is one of the advocacies of our instructor in one of our elective subjects particularly the Marketing 111. What is green marketing about? It is using claims about a product’s in order to promote the product. One of the best example of this is the advertising of coca-cola in Taiwan they used the empty bottles in other usable one such as flower spry, soap powder storage, and many others.

The purpose of doing these things is for us to save of our mother earth and even to minimize global warming. We all know that our environment now is so different from before and as we can observe it continuously on getting worst and worst.

Chandelier

So as a catalyst of change, our instructor introduced to us the green marketing. And indeed I’m so delighted by our instructor because the fact that we are situated in the area wherein we could truly say that these things is so far from the possibility to be accomplish but still he keep his hope in his heart that nothing is impossible when we try. Indeed nothing is impossible. We conduct our first Green Marketing Exhibit on August 13, 2014 and it was so successful. Many were amazed to what we have created and say to their self that they too would practice the same of what we did. Indeed it was so flattered in our part, all our effort and what we gave for that event really not put in vain. As you can see in the photos there are many creative products, these are just from empty bottles particularly coke, nature spring, sparkle, and others being created into decorations, toys, and others. All of this for us is nothing but when we would like to apply our creativity to things like this it would really turn to something that has a value. By doing this, you did help to preserve our environment it might be that it is just nothing for you but indeed it really counts.
