Members and applicants alike flocked to the Vinzon’s Hall Activity Center located on the 4<sup>th</sup> floor of the building. The activity was set to start at 1:00 PM and last for three hours, culminating at 4:00 PM. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-PH"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-PH">Applicants were tasked to line up in the narrow space right outside of the Activity Center for registration. Once the members had everything set-up inside, applicants were signing in and receiving their Buddy Points Logs, which doubled as their numbers for the bidding procedure. Those who were done logging in were lead inside and asked to be quietly seated. Shortly after everyone settled down, the Membership Committee officially initiated the year’s Buddy Bidding activity.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-PH"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-PH">Hands holding numbered papers shot up into the air as the descriptions and schedules of ABM members flashed on the wall. Each applicant, upon raising his/her paper and stating whether he/she was proxy-ing for a fellow applicant, was given a chance to bid for the anonymous member using Buddy Points as currency, beginning with a minimum of 2000 points. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-PH"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-PH">The highest bidder would be awarded the privilege of becoming the member’s buddy for the next month, which would serve as the time allotment for garnering the number of points he/she bid. There were also special cases wherein a single member or a pair of members generously took up the two highest bidders as buddies. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-PH"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-PH">Bids generally started low but rose gradually as the activity went on. Numbers reached as low as 6,000 buddy points and peaked at 80,000, with the title of this year’s highest bidder was given to Leif Tan and his bid for member Lisa Corpuz. Members then decided to set the cap at this amount, permitting any applicant the desired buddy by bidding the roof value.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-PH"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-PH">The activity closed at around 3:30 PM, ending half an hour earlier than anticipated. Applicants met up with their member counterparts and planned out their activities before evacuating the room. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-PH"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-PH">ABM’s Buddy Bidding activity is a yearly tradition which lays the grounds for existing members and new applicants to bond and get to know each other. Through the buddy point system, the applicant-member duo engages in various activities designated by the Membership Committee as a way of breaking the ice and closing the gap between them.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-PH"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-PH" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-PH">Originally scheduled for the afternoon of July 17, the Buddy Bidding activity was postponed due to heavy rain showers and the subsequent suspension of classes. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: right;"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> - Charles Herrera</o:p></span></p>UP ABM Biologuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02330571691445389611noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2866462567254439637.post-74966990476035999672009-08-04T19:28:00.001+08:002009-08-04T19:30:32.191+08:00ABM arms the next generation for UPCAT<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in">Last July 11, 18 and 25, the University of the Philippines Association of Biology Majors (ABM) offered its annual tutorial for the University of the Philippines College Admission Test (UPCAT) to the seniors of Krus na Ligas High School and UP Integrated School at Institute of Biology Pavilion 4. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in"><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Spearheaded by ABM’s Academic Committee and led by Hannah Co, the tutorials tackled the four major foci of the UPCAT – Mathematics, English and Filipino and Science; with the Sciences further divided into Physics, Biology and Chemistry.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in">More than a hundred students attended these review sessions held on Saturday from 8AM to 4PM.

Little did its members know that it [would dictate the future of their organization.]</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The pay-per-view was set at Henry Lee Irwin Theater of Ateneo de Manila University. As early as 8 AM, customers, reserved and walk-ins alike, lined up to get good seats for the much awaited fight of the year. From one under card match to another, as the main event drew near, customers started pouring in the theater that the org had their hands full.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Finally, it was time for the main event. Customers and org members alike rushed in the theater to watch the entrance of both fighters. As the bell rang for the 1</span><sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">st</span></sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> round, the theater became quiet as the fighters started to survey each other, looking for an opening. Barely 51 seconds after the bell rang, the theater whipped into a frenzy as a right hook brought down the Briton. A one-two left the entire theater in awe right before the end of the first round.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">With 2 knockdowns in just the 1</span><sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">st</span></sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> round, the theater was exploding with cheers that fell silent again as the 2</span><sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">nd</span></sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> round bell rang. This time, the theater was starting to feel uneasy as the Briton started to be on the offensive. Just 9 seconds before the 2</span><sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">nd</span></sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> round ended, the theater again had exploded into cheers as Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao delivered a stunning left hook to the jaw that floored Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton permanently.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">ABM treasurer Joseph John Sanchez would not divulge the exact amount of the total profit for the event but described it as “kickass.”</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: right;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">- Merlin Sanicas</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><br /></p>UP ABM Biologuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02330571691445389611noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2866462567254439637.post-18354619169020577672009-04-22T17:49:00.002+08:002009-04-22T17:49:48.637+08:00UP ABM Presents: Pacquaio vs. Hatton!<div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://g.imagehost.org/0298/hatton_multiply.jpg" width="380" height="507" /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: arial; font-size: 1px;">.</span></div> <div><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;color:#ffffff;"><span style="font-size: 1px;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"><span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode';font-size:130%;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="color:#c00000;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'lucida sans unicode';"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://kborromeo.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SeyUDQoKCsIAAATMWds1" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="color:#c00000;">P</span></a></span></span><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'lucida sans unicode';"><span style="color:#c00000;">acquiao vs Hatton</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'lucida sans unicode';"><span style="color:#c00000;"><br /></span></span></span></div></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'lucida sans unicode';"><span style="color:#c00000;">The Battle of East and West</span></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'lucida sans unicode';"><span style="color:#c00000;">Irwin Theater, ADMU</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'lucida sans unicode';"><span style="color:#c00000;">May 3, 2009 (Sunday)</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'lucida sans unicode';"><span style="color:#c00000;">8:00-12:00nn</span></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'lucida sans unicode';"><span style="color:#c00000;">Php 300</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-family: 'lucida sans unicode'; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">For inquiries, contact JJ Sanchez at <span style="font-family: arial;">09228113948</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Brought to you by UP ABM</div> </span></span></span></div></div>joeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11200569035978433675noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2866462567254439637.post-14943685315215936022009-03-30T18:35:00.001+08:002009-03-30T18:37:10.680+08:00The Grand Ball<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3612/3397687137_5553a40180.jpg?v=0" /><br />Entrance fee is at Php 200.00 per head.<br /></div>joeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11200569035978433675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2866462567254439637.post-87409247365614020172009-01-26T21:59:00.002+08:002009-01-26T22:02:59.270+08:00Congratulations, 2009 Inductees!<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3534/3224375655_11f644a3cf_b.jpg" title="ABM 2009 Inductees, Photo by Paul Repolona"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3534/3224375655_11f644a3cf.jpg?v=1232889250" /></a><br />Welcome, officially, to the ABM family!

The class had three out of town trips. The first trip was to Mt. Makiling, the second to Bolinao, Pangasinan and the third one to Baguio City. Joe Ang, Arab Arambulo, Eric Chua Yap, Ruby de Leon, Tootsie Ignacio, Ammie Galoso, Chris Garcia, Marilyn Gueverra, Nina Frayna, Rene Oracion, Alice Piedad, Victor Vicente and Yeng de Guia managed to group together for the field work, with Alice Piedad as group leader.<br /><br />In the first trip, they reached Peak II which was 1,080 meters above sea level. In the second trip, they were able to overcome the inconveniences brought about by the lack of fresh water and toilet facilities. In the third trip, they visited Mt. Sto. Tomas, Mt. Data and Borromeo Field in the PMA compound. The group stayed there for one night in order to consolidate their individual reports on each study area. It was during this overnight session that the idea of forming an organization was born.<br /><br />The group, then called BTHS, started out as a casual and unsanctioned organization. It was formalized into the UP Association of Biology Majors on June 8, 1975. Eventually, it was duly recognized as a socio academic organization of the university on July 16, 1975.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mission</span></span><br />UP ABM reaffirms its mission to be an instrument in the fomation of service-oriented members who pursue academic excellence. It strives to orient and equip its members to respond positively to the needs of others. For this to be realized, UP ABM strives to:<br /></div><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li>Promote Biology as a subject and as an institution relevant to our nation's future.<br /></li><ul style="font-style: italic;"><li>UP ABM vows to establish the importance of Biology and help its members prepare for possible careers in Biology and related sciences, including Medicine.</li></ul><li>Instill the importance of education.<br /></li><ul><li><span style="font-style: italic;">UP ABM vows to utilize education as an instrument for a better future by giving support to deserving youth through tutorial and scholarship programs.</span></li></ul><li>Be an instrument of social support.<br /></li><ul><li><span style="font-style: italic;">UP ABM vows to be a school for social change through free clinics and medical missions for the less fortunate.</span></li></ul><li>Develop cultural, environmental, political, and national awareness.<br /></li><ul><li><span style="font-style: italic;">UP ABM vows to promote a strong sense of social responsibility, swift action, and justice that will aid in our growth as Filipinos with significant roles in the global community.</span></li></ul></ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Vision</span></span><br />UP ABM envisions the continual academic, social and moral growth of its members who shall serve as role models for others to emulate.
