07-SOM Week: SOM is the new SOAB

Last October 26 the Asia Pacific College launched the SOM Week or School of Management Week with the theme SOM is the new SOAB (School of Accountancy and Business) to declare the unity of the different courses such as: Tourism Management, Marketing Management, Business Management, and Accountancy.  The program started with a parade of the different courses followed by the dance number of the APC dance troupe, and the presentation of the candidates for Mr. and Mrs. SOM. At the afternoon, the TM Mystery challenge started with a lot of participants. Their objective was to find clues and solve the mystery of the family.

Of course it would not be a week if I am only mentioning October 26.The following days until October 30 the programs were Faculty Bluff where the faculty members would play and one thing for sure that it was a very funny sight to see, the seminar with the theme “CSI: Awareness on the Digital Environment” where they invited a speaker who has an experience with cyber scam and various viruses or malwares and taught us how to be conscious and be aware of what is happening when we surf the net, SOM night where students would hang out and enjoy the remaining SOM week, Intramurals where in students would compete with another students from a different course to win the championship, and last but not the least the SOM Pageant where the Mr. and Mrs. SOM candidates competed with to win the throne of the 2015 Mr. and Mrs. SOM.

Overall, I was actually disappointed that they changed the name because I was expecting SOAB week not SOM week but I am glad because we were the first batch that celebrated the very first SOM week and although the events were little I still had fun cheering and laughing at the various antics that SOM students would do during the SOM week.
