The Lesson Plan

AKSIS Batch One is born!

Posted in Uncategorized by Sir Martz on 18 July 2007

(NOTE: The Pisay Life page has been updated with these pictures. Thanks to Keziah Tan for being our photographer!)

Today was born the very first batch of AKSIS! And those who were able to last for the picture here are not all of them. Much more members are waiting in the wings, ready to make a difference in Pisay and beyond!

We’ve also elected our first batch of officers, with Ellie de Castro as President, David Tan as Vice President, Gaby Santos as Secretary, Luis Estrada as Tresurer and Mika Perlada as Auditor. Next step is to finalize our constitution, assign committees and determine committee heads.

We capped the afternoon with a sharing of pizza and drinks. Personally, it was an awesome way to cap a day of teaching mythology in the open field — an awesome experience in itself!

The Officers’ first official act is the Acquaintance Party, and from there we have a host of activities we can pick and choose from. From Humanities Week to Blogger’s Kapihan, from the Binondo Food Walks to Sitio Target, our plate is full. We have so much we can do, AKSIS, and I can’t be happier with you guys.

I look forward to a fantastic breakout year! I hope you have fun, and that this becomes a rewarding experience for you.

    [...] When I formed AKSIS in the beginning of the school year, Sitio Target was actually a major selling point. During a lecture on civilization, I told them about the Aeta way of life, the GK case and then I introduced them to my thesis on modernity: that societies develop at different paces, and that when one way of life is violently imposed over another, we end up with invasion, war and imperialism. Ultimately, these forces create divisions in society which can either make or break whole civilizations. So bringing the question back to the ground, what can we do for the Aetas? It was this question that brought on board a lot of my current students to AKSIS. And to them were added the best of my previous students and our organization was formed. AKSIS was born. [...]
