This is a 10-minute documentary of the CPU work students that the Office of the President produced in 2007.
The work students who were interviewed in this video are probably professionals now and perhaps achieving well in their chosen careers.
May students and alumni draw inspiration from the lives of these work students.
This is a short documentary of the CPU Tennis Courts, which construction was made possible through the donation of CPUAA Northeastern USA.
Now watch this video and you will learn there’s an existing Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between CPU and the CPUAA Northeastern USA chapter.
One of the major stipulations in the MOA is that income generated from the CPU Tennis Courts fees will be donated to the Work Students program, particularly God’s GRACE program.
Watch the two-minute video now.
We thank the CPUAA Northeastern USA for their generosity and support for the work students through the tennis courts they donated.
Now, knowing this fact about the CPU Tennis Courts, we are interested to know how far had CPU administered the stipulations of the MOA?
I guess the donors and alumni would be happy to know so that other Centralians will be inspired to donate for CPU.
By the way, this video was produced in 2007 and used as advertisement at CPU TV Channel with the goal of attracting tennis enthusiasts around Iloilo City.
Credit goes to Nygel Militado for shooting and editing the CPU Tennis Court Ad. Thanks to Carmelle Romero for the voice over.
The missive is addressed to Gabriel Ortigoza who posted the solicitation letter of CPU for the 110th University Celebration.
It has come to my attention that your previous post was deleted and our apology for not directly informing you the reason why.
I just re-read and reviewed your current post with some of the administrators. As much as we understand it is about giving and that we take your word for it that this is a neutral piece, we firmly believe that we should avoid an impression that Positively Centralians is a venue or means for solicitation (actual or implied).
We would like to focus on alumni connections and friendships as well as transparency and accountability.
Personally, I am turned off when an alumna connects with me and then later ask for donations then emphasized on giving as the main means in which I should express my love for CPU or for Christ and that I should donate because I owe CPU of what I have become now.
I feel manipulated into a guilt trip. I want to be a cheerful giver. More so, I want to connect with the alumni and my colleagues without any ulterior motive except being friends with them in a genuine way and not on the basis of how much she or I can give to whoever or whatever.
On the other hand, we are also aware that the 2016 Global Reunion preparation is on-going and solicitation for donations and contributions for the souvenir program has started.
Positively Centralians do not want to be part of the solicitation process.
The Global Reunion 2016 has its own Facebook account in which, ironically, some of your officers and members are blocked. I do not want to name names for I have not asked their permission as of this writing.
My point is that the Global Reunion 2016 site should be used for its own purpose and so should Positively Centralian. Having said this, we are not discouraging the alumni to patronize the 2016 Global reunion.
On the same breath, we respect the feelings and position of other Centralians who wanted have more fun and connection outside of the Federation and/or prefer to directly connect with CPUAAI.
In terms of giving, we have Positively Centralian members conducting medical missions and donating thousands of dollars to rebuilding the lives of Haiyan survivors.
We have a family (the wife is a CPU alumna) who donated an entire village (30 houses) for Gawad Kalinga.
These people refused to be acknowledged in the blog for they believe this is about generosity not publicity. Positively Centralians, after all, is not about donors and their donations.
Rest assured, your current post will not be deleted as we have made clear the position of Positively Centralians about money, or donations and friendship.
In behalf of the administrators, I would like to reiterate that we consider our friends as our gold and silver.
By establishing alumni connections, friend-to-friend, we are spreading the gold and silver. Please know you are one of them. Peace and joy to you and your family.
In response to the request of the immediate past CPUFOAAI president May Vail Lee that these documents be circulated among alumni, we have published these reports.
