A toastmaster’s journey is made more worthwhile when
growing along fellow toastmasters. As such, Filcom, for its 337th meeting,
partnered with IIEE-SQC. Together, we made it happen!
TM Carlos Bautista set the meeting in motion as the
Sgt-At-Arms. TM Leo Ortega (Filcom) and TM Roderick Pajes (IIEE-SQC), as Club
Presidents, officially opened the meeting and welcomed the guests. TM Danilo
Sanchez who served as the TMOD launched the meeting theme “Make It Happen” and
then introduced the role players who explained their corresponding roles. TM
Edgar Santos served as Grammarian, TM CJ Rojas as Ah-Counter, and TM Elmar
Recablanca as Timer.
MAKE IT HAPPEN. YES, YOU.
Three dauntless speakers stepped up to deliver their
respective Pathways projects. TM Lauren Olivos, in his Icebreaker speech “Sheep
in a Lion’s Den”, transformed into a “lion” as he roared against his fear of
public speaking. TM Afajal, in his speech “Those Unimportant”, introduced an
honest and eye-opening perspective on how low-paid office workers such as our
teaboys are often undervalued and taken for granted. Meanwhile, TM Diana
Tangente, in her speech “Something More”, talked about happiness and living a
meaningful life.
MAKE IT HAPPEN. YES, YOU CAN.
The most stimulating segment of the meeting made room
for toastmasters to face their fear of impromptu speaking. TM Anahi Brown as
the Table Topics Master, dared everyone to answer questions on social causes.
DTM Kit Barritt, TM Robert, TM Lyndon Ellevera, TM Leo Ortega and TM Jimmy Bugay,
took up the challenge and bravely spoke their perspectives on social issues.
MAKE IT HAPPEN. TODAY.
The third part of the meeting was led by DTM Kit
Barritt as the General Evaluator. TM Lornalyn Tallod, TM Jimmy Bugay, and TM
Leo Ortega acted as the speech evaluators of the prepared speeches, while TM
Fouad Al-Faris evaluated the Table Topics. The role players delivered their
corresponding reports, and DTM Kit, his general evaluation.
At the end of the meeting, that according to TMOD
Danilo Sanchez was, full of fun, learning, and excitement, the audacity of
certain toastmasters were recognized: DTM Kit on Table Topics, TM Leo on
Evaluation, TM Anahi on Segment Host, and TM Diana on Prepared Speech.
On the other side of fear are the things that we
truly want. It is only by believing in ourselves, and doing things we aren’t
comfortable doing, can we truly grow and achieve greater things. Whatever it is
that you want to do, attain, or reach - MAKE IT HAPPEN.
