The Mission read aloud by CHE-SC College Representative Enzo Valdez. De Guzman: What is good governance. Furigay: Papasok ang good governance kapag nagagawa natin ang misyon natin. De Guzman: There is no under and over performance on the part of the government? CAS-SC Rep to the USC, Bucay: Truly Representative (pertaining to Good Governance). De Guzman: I am surpised how PNoy defined good governance. (shared her view on PNoy's campaign for Good Governance). De Guzman: Naging matunog lamang ang isyu ng Good Governance nung panahon ni PNoy, well in fact, it should be a way of living. De Guzman discussed the appropriation of concern regarding the government's campaign on Good Governance. Rating of the Government was discussed. De Guzman proposes how Good Governance can be campaigned in UPLB. De Guzman: As UP Students, we are all amenable on serving the community.

The section "Government Structure" of the concept paper is discussed by De Guzman. De Guzman engaged in a Local Government Unit immersion. Screening mechanism of the "Galing Pook" is discussed.

[Addressing Ms. Dela Cruz] De Guzman: Can the UPLB Student Council decide on the adaption of the said campaign, the question is already addressing the action points of the campaign. USC Councilor Holt: [In relevance to Mr. Zinampan's question]Can you please tell us the extent of the support of NCPAG so that we could easily decide if we are going to adapt this campaign. De Guzman discusses the action points of the campaign if the UPLB Student Council will adapt the "Galing Pook" campaign. Zinampan: If we will adapt the system of the campaign, are we going to scout for the LGUs? De Guzman: On the first phase, Yes. But we will help you definitely. CAS-SC Chair: What will be our benefits for this campaign? De Guzman: Good governance will be campaigned on your unit. You will gain connections [pertaining to LGUs]. It will promote camaraderie. The atmosphere will be inclusive. It is good that all political parties will be able to join this campaign. Miller: I think the concept is very good since there will be an election next year. But, how heavy is the burden of this campaign will be? This campaign is very big for us. Kayla Miller clears out that her question is addressed to the adaptation. De Guzman: The heaviest part of this campaign is the problem solving, the identification of the LGU. But I think is doable. We should look and train our volunteers. Kayla Miller points out about diversity. CEM-SC Chair: What will be our mechanism to ensure that the next council will adapt this campaign. De Guzman discussed the campaign's transferability. De Guzman: We could institutionalize it maybe. De Guzman: As long as the campaign is good and solid, it is easy for the next council to adapt it. Valle: Can we collate it to the OSR's campaign JMG [Joint Monitoring Group]. De Guzman: Yes. Valle: This could be a manifestation of the JMG. Point of Manifestation from Pura Valle. Valle: Sana mabawi natin ang wrong connotation ng LGU sa UPLB at sa Student Councils dito. Villaflor:How can we enforce the LGU to adapt the campaign. De Guzman: We don't want to make this campaign futile. We already made a Memorandum Of Agreement (MOA). De Guzman: We are going to ask them to implement it, but with great consideration of their resources. De Guzman discussed the organizational structure of the initiative. De Guzman discussed a rundown of the initiative [Galing Pook series]. De Guzman: We have at timeline to follow. De Guzman: You can decide about the campaign by next week. De Guzman: The program guidelines and strategies will be given to you once you confirmed. De Guzman: All your suggestions will be taken into consideration.
