2009 Kick Off

Subic! That’s where we were on April 15-17, 2009. Not for a vacation but to conduct an IBM KidSmart Teachers’ Training to teachers from Pastolan Elementary School, Nagbayan Elementay School, F. Angeles Elementary School and Olongapo City Elementary School. The APC Center (formerly EduQuest), as IBM Philippines’ training partner, facilitated the three-day training.

In the picture (from left) are Ms. Armie Llamas, Public Relations Manager of Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA), Ms. Andrea Escalona, Country Marketing & Communications Manager of IBM Philippines, Mr. James Velasquez, President & General Manager of IBM Philippines, Mr. Conrado Frenilla, Tribal Chieftain of Pastolan Village, Ms. Rhapunzel Reyes, Ms. Jeneath Bautista, Ms. Snooky Lingad and Ms. Baby Aurea Legaspi- teachers from Pastolan Elementary School.

Pastolan Elementary School was the latest recipient of IBM Philippines’ donation. Pastolan ES is located at Pastolan Village, Tipo Hermosa, Bataan. The three other schools were previously donated with KidSmart computers and are actively implementing the program. And who knows, IBM Philippines might just reward their dedication (*wink*).

We were of course accommodated and helped by IBM Philippines’ reliable partner, Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA). They were also our partner in monitoring the program implementation in the recipient schools.

First run in 2009

Hi everyone! It's been a great while since we last posted here. It's just now that I realized that my mind doesn't work in silence so I'm breaking its reign. I'm currently helping out in the integration of our ladderized program into our Student Handbook; Del, Allen and Mei are out North in Subic for the first run of the KidSmart program for 2009 and everyone else here in the office is busy and I'm left with no one to collaborate with.

I'll update this post as soon as something new comes up.
