STRAW Updates + Tuklas Evals (c/o STRAW-Sec) - 5 min
Discussed the following grievances with Ma’am Magno.
Econ 162
Just updated Ma'am Magno on what happened. I'll be asking for updates na lang through Emman, thanks!
NSTP
They were able to have a dialogue na so their concerns kinda changed na depending on what was discussed between students.
Dean Memo - c/o Kraft
Sent by Andi to the batches. Matagal na 'to nangyari, Ma'am Magno did not update us lang but that's fine as long as the memo was sent to the faculty.
Mental Health Issue
Ma'am Magno says that a lot of adjustments have already been made to make the load lighter for students. She recommends not pursuing units more than 12.
There are still obviously a lot of grievances that are because of the very nature of the conduct of courses in the online sem. We thank admin for their adjustments, but there really is still a lot to be done. SESC remains proactive and ready to raise any grievance to the admin for further action. We will also continue having these dialogues with them for better coordination with our faculty regarding the limitations of the students given the new setup.
BA 99.2
I have already raised this grievance to Ma’am Magno. For transparency, this grievance is about the exam protocols of the said class. Admin has already expressed their intent to help out, and I am already talking to the person who sent the grievance.

Tuklas
Strengths
- We started early in preparing for the online initiative.
- Not stressful on the core members because of the paced preparation of the initiative.
- The ones who accepted our proposals were very responsive.
Weaknesses
- Short number of partners in comparison to last sem (a lot of rejections). The situation seems to not be improving, a lot of these organizations have already been tapped out.
- Technical issues kasi there were some partners who sent us files that were difficult to manage because of the huge file size.
Opportunities
- Especially now, the need for giving different advocacy groups platforms to reach UPSE remains all the more important. The state of the nation seems to not really improve to the extent we had hoped it would, hence there more and more groups are forming to address new issues.
Threats
- Worsening situation, orgs find it harder to accept proposals (usually these are also students)
- Donor fatigue
Andi: Congrats Third. I know konti yung partners compared to last sem but you still did great. Good job!
SEEB Updates
- Last night we were able to release the official list of candidates. Pubs are doing well. We plan to post another tonight. It is still about official candidates but with GPOAs and CVs
- Starting campaign period, we have to talk about the rules and will make announcements for that as well.
- We have four candidates. One chair and two councilors. We met yesterday and talked about amendments of the code.
- Pinakita yung rules about the campaign. The platform of how the voting was explained.
Emman: Yes, may system na. Magsign up ka with a Google Form and instructions about campaign materials and mailing will be given. Most UP students have access naman to their UP Mails. Screenshotting and sharing of ballots are not allowed.
Jaro: Waivers?

Donation Drive
- Total donation since the start is 100,635 Pesos. I have 39k right now because Tita told me to hold until she gives me the go signal. Will let Kyla and Haqq know until we can announce it. I am glad we were able to give something to her.
