Saturday Womens Online Dgroup Meeting

 

Mga Pangunahing Resulta

Tinalakay ng grupo ang GLC Book 2, Session 2 tungkol sa "One Source: The Bible" — ang kahalagahan ng Biblia bilang salita ng Diyos, ang mga patunay ng katotohanan nito, at kung paano ito dapat ilapat sa pang-araw-araw na buhay. Ginamit ang Obedience-Based Bible Study (OBBS) bilang pamamaraan: basahin, sundin, at ibahagi. Nagbahagi rin ang mga miyembro ng kanilang personal na karanasan at panalangin. 12

---

Mga Desisyong Ginawa

• Ang OBBS method (Read, Obey, Share) ang itutuloy bilang gabay sa personal at group study. 2
• Ang SOAP method (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer) ay inirerekomenda bilang structured na paraan ng personal na debosyon. 3
• Ang bawat miyembro ay hinihikayat na magsulat ng sariling journal na may tiyak na "I will" statement matapos basahin ang Biblia. 4

Mga Pangunahing Tinalakay

Mga Patunay na ang Biblia ay Salita ng Diyos:

• ~2,500 propesiya sa Biblia; ~2,000 na ang natupad. 5
• Natuklasan ang mga Hittite sa Ankara, Turkey noong 1906 — nagpapatunay sa kasaysayang nakasulat sa Biblia. 6
• Dead Sea Scrolls: nagpatunay ng katumpakan ng mga lumang manuskrito ng Biblia. 7
• Isinulat ng 40+ may-akda sa 3 wika (Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek) sa loob ng 1,500 taon — iisa pa rin ang mensahe. 6

Gamit ng Biblia (2 Timothy 3:16-17):

• Pagtuturo — nagbibigay ng tumpak na kaalaman tungkol sa Diyos. 8
• Pagsaway — nagbubunyag ng maling gawi. 8
• Pagwawasto — itinatama ang mga kamalian. 8
• Pagsasanay — nagbibigay ng mga gawi ng katuwiran. 9

Mga Personal na Pagbabahagi ng Miyembro

• Sara: Nag-uugnay kay Joseph at David (Mga Awit 30–38) sa kanyang sariling paglalakbay — mga pagsubok, sakit, at patuloy na pagtitiwala sa Diyos kahit sa hirap. 1011 Kasalukuyang nagpapagaling matapos ang operasyon. 11
• Janice: Piniling si Job bilang paboritong karakter sa Biblia — "God gives, God takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord." 12 Ginagamit ang Jeremias 29:11 bilang personal na verse at itinataguyod ang pagtitiwala sa plano ng Diyos. 13
• Jen: Gumagamit ng Kawikaan 16:3 ("Iukol sa Panginoon ang iyong mga gawa") bilang pang-araw-araw na gabay — nagdarasal bago gumawa ng desisyon. 14

---

Mga Kahilingang Panalangin

• Jen: Mga financial obligations; naghihintay ng bayad mula sa kliyente; naghahanap ng karagdagang oportunidad sa trabaho (research publication, consultancy). 1516
• Sara: Patuloy na pagpapagaling matapos ang operasyon; nagpaplano ng negosyo (massage spa); naghihintay ng final na resulta ng biopsy. 1718
• Janice: Kalusugan (gout); negosyo at trading; proteksyon ng pamilya. 19

---

Mga Susunod na Hakbang

• Lahat ng miyembro: Isulat ang personal na OBBS journal — isang verse, reflection, at tiyak na "I will" application. 20
• Jen: Ipagpatuloy ang pagsulat ng structured daily devotion (story → scripture → application). 21
• Sara: Isaalang-alang ang pagiging de-group leader sa hinaharap kapag handa na. 22
• Susunod na session: Magpapatuloy sa GLC Book 2 sa susunod na pagtitipon.

---

Mga Bukas na Tanong

• Hindi pa natutukoy ang eksaktong petsa ng susunod na sesyon.
• Ang balita tungkol sa kalusugan ni Sara ay hindi dapat ibahagi nang walang pahintulot — napag-usapan ang kahalagahan ng confidentiality sa loob ng grupo. 23

Modeling faith

Source: https://www.theparentpractice.com/blog/80-of-parenting-is-modelling

When I sing, they sing.. When I dance, they dance... When I talk, they listen...

When my children were little kids, they usually follow everything that I do. Our bonding activity is watching Disney movies and sing the sound tracks. I remember the movie 'Frozen", with its famous song: "Let it go!". We sing together and enjoy the moment. As they grew older and now in their teens, I want them to not just follow what I do but most importantly, listen to what I say.

They say kids really follow what their parents do. We need to be very careful on how we talk and act in front of them. In Ephesians 5:1–2, it says: "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us."

As parents, it is our duty to model a Christ-like character to our children. When we want them to listen to us, you also listen to them. If you do not want your children to shout at you, talk with conviction and grab their attention. In dinners and family gatherings, show them how to pray and give thanks to God for all the blessings. Be the first model the good character of faith. 

Model by planting seeds of faith, nurture them and let them sprout gradually. Then. water them daily with good deeds. In the future, you will bear fruit. This can be seen in their character and you will be surprise how small acts of faith can transform the lives of our children.

Be a model of faith!

Academic Units' Online Meeting Re: Harmonization of ROM Forms | August 7, 2026

 

Key Outcomes

The meeting harmonized SWOT analyses across academic units in preparation for a face-to-face Systems Audit scheduled August 10–12, transitioning from QMS to EOMS. 1 Colleges agreed on common core drivers while allowing context-specific wording per unit. Key structural decisions were made on core drivers, interested parties, and ROM entry volume to ensure audit readiness.

Decisions Made

• Core drivers finalized (common across academic units): Curriculum & Instruction, Research & Development, Extension & Community Engagement, Social Responsibility & Climate Change (mandatory) 2
• Student Welfare & Development Services removed as a standalone driver; relevant concerns absorbed into Curriculum & Instruction 3
• Data & Connectivity removed as a standalone driver; UVE/online delivery reframed under Curriculum & Instruction in the context of instruction delivery during disruptions 45
• Finance & Physical Resources and Human Resource excluded as common drivers; units may retain contextually if justified 6
• Leadership, Governance & Partnerships excluded from common drivers; partnership items redirected under curriculum context 7
• OBE/institutionalized outcome-based education framework agreed as a shared strength across units, with each college free to state it in their own context 89
• ROM entries: Units may include 1–2 risks per core driver; implementation timelines may extend to 2–5 years where needed 1011
• Extension vs. Social Responsibility: Extension activities may be included under Social Responsibility or Curriculum & Instruction depending on college context; SOM confirmed extension activities (e.g., community immersion) belong under curriculum 1213

Resolved Conflicts

• SWOT independence concern: Dr. Pedrano and Attorney Jamil raised that SWOT items (S/W/O/T) should be independent of each other; agreed to note the concern but retain current structure with contextual explanation 1415
• Common vs. context-specific drivers: Attorney Jamil questioned the value of forcing common drivers across colleges with different mandates (e.g., law school vs. engineering); resolved by clarifying that common drivers set the focus areas while wording and specifics remain college-specific 1617
• Research & Extension for SOM/SOL: Both schools confirmed no institutional research/extension targets; agreed these are not required common drivers for them, with student research absorbed under curriculum 1819

Interested Parties Agreed

• Internal: Students (undergraduate & graduate), teaching personnel (faculty, program heads, deans), administrative/NTP staff, university administration 20
• External: Regulatory & accrediting bodies (CHED, LEB, PRC), industry/employers, professional organizations, alumni, parents/guardians 2122
• LGUs, feeder schools, funding agencies, and community groups excluded from academic unit scope; redirected to RDE/Extension Division 2324

Pending Confirmation

• Final consolidated SWOT table (Excel format) to be shared via OVPAA shared drive for all colleges to reference and benchmark 25
• Each college to finalize and upload updated SWOT/ROM documents before October 15 submission deadline 11
• Social responsibility boundary definition (extension vs. curriculum) to be applied consistently per college context

Action Items

• All Deans/Directors: Finalize SWOT with 1–2 entries per core driver; ensure specificity in weakness statements to support ROM risk writing 26
• Trish (OVPAA): Set up shared drive folder; share access with all academic units via USEP email 27
• Steph: Share consolidated Excel template with all colleges for parallel input 28
• All units: Invite deputy deans, associate deans, and program heads to be present during the August 10–12 audit 2930
• Deans/Directors: Be prepared to personally answer auditor questions — do not defer to staff 3132

Audit Schedule Reference

• Day 1 (Aug 10): Opening, OVPAA, Academic Units, Curriculum & Instruction 3133
• Day 2 (Aug 11): UAGC, OAS 29
• Day 3 (Aug 12): HRMD sampling, campus site visit, ULRC 30
