ARMM EMPLOYEES PERFORMING ARTS GUILD (AEPAG)

My Notes: From the ARMM Employees Performing Arts Guild Assessment and team building facilitated by Prof. Thallasah Alava.

In this modern age, research is significant in every endeavor of life may it conventional or modern. It is a great back-up for innovation and creativity. Thinking is a need. Luck and perfection is greater to those who think.
I think but so much I give way because I felt inferior and weak. I learned that through time we can achieve success through focus, imagination and the like. Gradual acquisition but not that mentally slow. Learned from the critics but don't stop the creativity. Don't be scared to share. Being negated is normal because your 10% idea composes the 100% of the general production.
Don't do only for entertainment, move for an advocacy; an information related to the event. We must be the catalyst for information. How to achieve? It is through openness and encouragement using research and logic. The management may use the authority in the beginning but when the organization raises time democracy can be achieve because members are already matured.
Creativity is magical not a magic. Why? I answered yes it is because creativity is created thru a supernatural injection of new information in an instant situation or by a snap or sec while magic is a trick that needs rigid training to achieve perfection of the idea. The characteristic of magical and magic is different because of its inspirational source.

HIPECBM: Mindanao Hiroshima Skill-up Training

BANGSAMORO GIRL TRAINED IN JAPAN 



   I am an alumna of Hiroshima Peace and Capacity Building for the Bangsamoro (HIPECBM) sponsored by Hiroshima University and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). I am a Maguindanaon-Tausug in Cotabato CIty. I am working in the Department of Public Works and Highways as Audio-visual Production Officer. If you have the luxury of time to browse the net or facebook "DPWH on the Road", I am the voice behind it. Anyway, enough for the segway.  

I've been in Japan specifically to Higashi Hiroshima prefecture for one month on November 2015, January 2017 and July 2017, three times in a row for FREE. WOW! 

How did I do it?


I applied for it. Its not easy as 1-2-3 but the exposure I had in Japan was fun and exciting as ABC. Back to the question, how I did it? It was on year 2015 when I felt that it was the right time for me to join. I saw their posters in our graduate school in Mindanao State University Maguindanao and tarpaulin at St.Benedict College. I saw the first poster on 2014 but I was not confident enough back then seeing the procedure and requirement; there is a need for passport, transcript of records, filled up application forms and 2x2 photo. 

I didn't expect to chosen as part of 33 but I wish I wanted to be part of the 33. I think, they were convinced on my answers on the application questions. I was detailed, direct to the point, specific and passionate. My answers were related to my work experience, educational attainment and advocacy in life.  Hence, I am suggesting you to follow the same strategy. There is no lost in trying. 

Don't doubt yourself! Have faith and you can do it too!
