Of Civil Engineers (PICE) -
Cebu Chapter, the 36th Na-
tional Convention entitled,
“PICE: Engineering for a
Better Philippines” was held
at the Cebu International Con-
vention Center last November
25-27, 2010.
The convention aims to:
(1) encourage young engi-
neers to try harder to build a
better future for the country;
(2) enhance leadership; (3)
address present engineering
problems in the Philippines;
(4) prepare the students on the
board exams; and most im-
portantly to (5) develop cama-
raderie and rapport to their
fellow PICE members.
Five students from CLSU
-PICE participated in the said
event, namely: Roma Angelie
Figueroa, Nareste Faith
Franada, Bienvenido Magtuto
Jr., Lea Angela Mayo and

CEBU CONVENTION: “PICE Strives for a Futuristic Cause” Roma Angelie D. Figueroa
The Philippine Institute
of Civil Engineers - Student
Chapter (PICE-SC) have
given 1000 coloring books
and crayons to kindergar-
tens and elementary stu-
dents in selected schools of
San Jose City and Science
City of Muñoz Nueva Ecija
for the month of January
2011.
The activity with a theme
“Let’s express ourselves: We
draw, you color it”, aimed to
share the artistic skills of the
members, similarly, small
children will convey them-
selves through coloring.
It was one of the members
who have thought, that since
most of the activities con-
ducted are art related, it
would have been nice if col-
oring books are especially
hand drawn by the PICE-SC
members to small children
and will be better if crayons
are included.
The coloring book was
made by PICE-SC members
from sketching the pictures
(animals corresponding to the
letters in the alphabet) to
printing and binding out all
1000 copies, while crayons
were collected from donations
given by the members,
alumni, political individuals,
owners of establishments, and
other concerned people early
last December 2011.
The activity was planned
to be given for Christmas but
due to lack of fund for meet-
ing the 1000 quota and to
long printing process, the
coloring books and crayons
are scheduled to be given on
the month of January as a new
year’s gift.

DOST Scholarship Grant to Shift
Engineering Course to BS Meteorology
Job security and job bene-
fits, these are the reason why
an individual goes abroad and
neglects his own country.
The scenario is true and
this idealism is well escalated
to the Philippines today par-
ticularly to the needy and
even to the upper class. It is
also the reason why the gov-
ernment through the Depart-
ment of Science
and Technology
(DOST) and State
Universities and
Colleges (SUC’s) offers of
Bachelor of Science in Mete-
orology to students of BSCE
and BSAE.
To shift to a new course is
a great risk and wastage of
time and money as it exposes
you to new environments.
People and facilities and eve-
rything new requires adapta-
tion (mentally, emotionally
and socially) and adjustments.
DOST, on BS Meteorology,
removes the word “great”
from the risk and wastage of
time and money because they
will be offering scholarships
for students who are qualified
and for those who will pass the
scholarship exam.
For needy stu-
dents, scholarships
are good and so is
the assurance (total) of his or
her future occupation. It’s like
having an apple when all you
wanted is an arathilis. It is not
giving up to your previous
course or being a quitter but
just a way of being practical.
Shifting students to other
courses have a negative image
to our society because of
some personal reasons of not
liking or finding such difficult
courses.
But what if the students
don’t like this idea of shifting
course, find it difficult and
actually fail on it? Why it is
not offered to everyone? Why
does BSCE and BSAEn stu-
dents are qualified for it?
Why PAG-ASA does have a
slowly diminishing number of
employees? It is because of
the benefits working abroad.
Is there a chance that those
students would not end up the
same way?
Courses having basic sub-
jects would not be a problem
to students even though it has
different applications. It may
not be offered to everyone for
three reasons: (1) It is not the
best student they want but the
best student with a needy life;
(2) They do not want too
many graduates of BS Mete-
Editorial
The Picean
orology because they don’t
want it to go obsolete like
nursing; and (3) job opportu-
nities recedes the number of
graduates.
The reason why engineer-
ing students qualifies in it is
because they do not just
know the basic theories of
mathematics and physics.
They can also apply it to eve-
ryday life.
The issue of PAG-ASA
against diminishing employ-
ees calls for the reason of
greater benefits attainable
abroad and definitely bigger
salary that assures his/her
family’s future. The Philip-
pines has been endowed with
colonial mentality and the
chance of passing it to the
new generation is high. And
for that reason, everything
may repeat itself over and
over again.
