A belated Happy Valentines Day to everyone!
Because we love our orgs might as well make a podcast for them!
Being part of a student org is challenging (I know because I have been a former PIASA National VP myself from 2012 to 2014). As student leaders of an organization, he/ she is in a peculiar situation of not only thinking of his/ her academic life and welfare but also the welfare of many of its members, something that is almost impossible to do in a fast-paced world. Not only that, the additional burden *ehem, workload rather, from outside the school can be a multi-tasking logistical nightmare at some point. Episode 5 of M+P the host invited some of the student leaders from a variety of architecture student orgs in the country to
(1) get to know each other,
(2) create an opportunity to have a short dialogue about being architecture student & being a student leader as well,
(3) talk about some challenges of being a future architect in the Philippines, and much more.
This podcast has no other motivation but to create a record of correspondence between the existing organizations of its current time, and just a passion project (inspired with the same spirit as the punkrock “zines” of the 80s, guerilla radio of the 90s, and GeoCities of 00s).
