Himig ng Haribon: A Podcast Series Reflecting Student Voices was a three-part podcast series that was created by the JPMAP-PLM in order for Haribons to have a safe space to discuss the relevant topics about life in our very own Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila and the timely concerns and issues that each student in the PLM community are facing today. All of the podcast episodes were posted on the official Facebook account of the organization to reach a greater audience.
The first episode of the podcast series is entitled: Episode 1: Study Habits and Tips. This episode was posted on Christmas day, December 25, 2022, at exactly 6:00 PM. The first part of the podcast kicked off with fun and energetic hosting by Aila Ferrer, the JPMAP-PLM Chairperson for Corporate and Social Responsibility and by Jelyn Bibat, the JPMAP-PLM Committee Officer for Corporate and Social Responsibility. The guest speaker of the first episode was Stephen Ivan T. Sarmiento. He is an alumnus of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila who graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics degree. He gave meaningful study habits that he did during his university years in our beloved Pamantasan. One of the tips that he shared is that during the dreaded hell week, he studies for the entire week, and he lists down all of the critical topics and lessons that he needs to give more focus on. Another tip he shared is that to grasp and divide vital chunks of information, looking for different sources is one of the keys to achieving this since you'll be looking for new sources that you will understand perfectly. Another key is to know your reading strategy since every individual has a different reading strategy.
The second episode of the podcast series is entitled: Episode 2 - Life After College. It was posted on the official Facebook page of the JPMAP-PLM on December 30, 2022. Nicole Santos, the JPMAP-PLM Committee Officer for Corporate and Social Responsibility, and Samantha Vitan, the JPMAP-PLM Committee Officer for Events and Membership Committee, hosted the second part of the podcast. The guest speakers for this episode were all alumni of our esteemed Pamantasan Ng Lungsod Ng Maynila, namely: John Eldrine N. Roxas, Mary Nicole C. Paed, and Amidala Moira M. Senica. They shared that you cannot truly grasp the feeling that you have finally finished the line! You have graduated, and it is time to enter the corporate world. Of course, they also shared that the pressure of entering the corporate world is totally normal, and there is nothing wrong with that. They also highlighted that having an excellent corporate environment and a support system is vital in order to smoothen the transition from a student to a professional.
The last episode of this podcast series is Episode 3 - Struggles encountered and how they are still able to top??? It was presided over by Felicity Dela Cruz, the JPMAP-PLM Committee Officer for Training and Development, and Mitchell Dela Cruz, the JPMAP-PLM Committee Officer for Training and Development. The third episode of the series was posted on January 3, 2023. The guest speaker for the finale of the series is Diana Bernal. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila. The series ended with her sharing that having an achievable goal is even better than having an impossible dream. Since if you do not have an attainable goal, the consequence is that you can get lost in life, and you will feel self-pity which ultimately leads to failure. In terms of comparing yourself with others, the speaker highlighted that comparisons are not necessarily bad; you just have to use these comparisons to your advantage.
