FVPHSTI Leadership Seminar-Workshop (Day 2)

Day 2 (April 24)

For the morning session, we had three speakers that talked on managing an organization, the ACT NCR Union Collective Negotiation Agreement and conducting meeting through Robert’s Rule of Order and Parliamentary Procedures.

Salome Bulawan of ACT National Secretariat presented her topic on “Pamumuno at Pagpapatakbo ng Organisasyon.” We learned a lot on how to become effective leader of an organization. She revealed some of the wrong conceptions about being a leader (e.g. leaders know it all, can give and provide everything, paternal, dictator or liberal). She also gave the qualities of a “true leader,” which are the following:
  •  May layunin na gustong makamit (visionary)
  • Hindi palalo at mayabang (humble)  
  • Hindi diktador (democrat)
  • Palaaral at palasuri (educated and inquisitive)

Joselyn Martinez, Secretary of ACT NCR Council, specified the contents of the Collective Negotiation Agreement composed of the different issues about the rights, privileges and benefits that we should enjoy as public school teachers.

My most favorite topic was about the Robert’s Rule of Order and Parliamentary Procedures. In this topic, Sir Andy Rosales taught us how we can conduct a meaningful meeting that is more organized so that we can maximize the time and become more productive.

The afternoon session was equally filled with a lot of learnings. We welcomed our very own school principal as our speaker, Mrs. Salvacion V. David. Her topic was all about Leadership for Instructional Leaders. I, together with Sir Steve, got the chance to introduce her to the audience. And we supposed that she was happy with it (we actually made the introduction very spectacular, why not… she’s our own school head). She started with a group dynamics wherein we need to define leadership and identify some of its relevant qualities of being a leader. From her talk we learned about bridging leadership, which foster the importance of fellowship among educational leaders and teachers, and school’s internal and external stakeholders (e.g. parents, local officials, non-government and government organizations)  We all appreciate her talk; her experience showed that she was already an embodiment of an excellent leader.
