PAARL Board Begins 2011 with Planning
By Roderick B. Ramos
It was in Tagaytay where the Board spent one Saturday to plan for its 2011 activities.
Vice president and conference chair Sonia Gementiza brought the group in one
beautiful residential house with good food and accommodating Bulalo cooked
from Dasma-Cavite in the highlands of cold, chilly breezy Tagaytay last January
8, 2011. 2009 president and this year’s Professional Service Awardee, Ms. Elvira
Lapuz (University of the Philippines) lectured about radicalizing the administrative
culture of the Organization and emphasized PRIORITY NEEDS:
1. Increase advocacy and marketing of the Association;
2. Develop and manage the Association’s financial resources;
3. Increase membership; and,
4. Develop future leaders and advocates.

Then, a planning-workshop was set with meeting of minds of a DREAM TEAM (coined by Mr. Christopher Paras) consisting of key
players from DLSU-Dasma represented by Sonia Gementiza; UP-Diliman, Sharon Ma. Esposo; Ateneo Professional School, Sonia
Lourdes David; UST, Cecilia Lobo; UE-Manila, Aquilino Abenojar (replaced by TIP-QC, Sonny Boy Manalo); CEU, Victoria Baleva;
Ateneo de Manila University, Matet Villanueva; San Juan De Letran, Carolyn De Jesus; and, Global City College, Christopher
Paras, led by newly elected president, Mr. Roderick B. Ramos (DLSU-Manila).
The stewardship of 2011 Board and the success of this year’s activities are primarily centered on what was agreed upon by the
group as the Association’s marketing brand: PAARL, Inc., “Fully Engaged, Member-driven Association”.

upgrades in writing, organizing and publishing. After
