ISEP Party 2008: Rockin' the House!

By -
The International Student Exchange Program (ISEP) at the Asian Institute of Management threw a welcome party to the exchange students from international schools last Friday and what a party it was!




In what could be regarded as one of the best parties our MBA class was ever went to, people had loads of fun, made lots of new friends and even had a taste (literally!) of the culture of other countries. There was a brief program that kicked off the party, with introductions from the exchange students from France, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Austria and Mexico. I joined lively emcees Neil Risos and Pia Sanedrin and acted as the party's Game Master with Diamond Uy.

After every two or three countries have finished presenting or introducing themselves, party games were played, and boy, were the games rockin'!




After the program, we had everyone's favorite party activity-- karaoke! My classmate in the MBA program Mei Ling of Indonesia stole the limelight as she busted out her singing talents to the crowd's delight.

I'll let the pictures in the post tell you how much fun the people had in the party. :)

Post Script:

Go figure: the party coincided with the new MBA folks' first overnight WAC.

Getting Admitted to the MBA Program

By -
Let backtrack a bit: How was I able to get admitted to the Asian Institute of Management (AIM)? The admission process is a relatively brief process, but rigorous nonetheless. The AIM Website outlines the procedure on how to apply and the requirements as well. However, I found some old content at the AIM site that might get some users confused. But in spite of that, my experience in applying was a very smooth and hassle-free one. I made sure that I had the following accomplished: Application Form - This can be downloaded online . The application form is very long and has 14 essay questions! It is better to answer the essay questions briefly and direct to the point. Official Transcripts - This is my undergraduate transcript from the University of the Philippines - Diliman . Academic Recommendation Letter - I had a former professor of mine from the Ateneo Graduate School of Business accomplish this one. Professional Recommendation Letter - I asked a former superior make a recommenda...

My Experience with the Embassy of India in Manila

Are you a Filipino going to India? Be warned. You may be in for a great deal of frustration. I've been spending the past week arranging my visa for my Action Consultancy (AC) in India. (The AC is equivalent to AIM's industry internship for its MBA students; I'll blog more about this in future posts). The frustration has really been mounting because of the very confusing and Byzantine system of the Indian embassy here in the Philippines. First point of frustration: the customer service. I initially called the embassy to clarify the requirements and procedures. The embassy has an automated answering system that has a selection where a caller can get an itemized list of requirements. That's all. No information of procedures, steps or guidelines. I selected the option to talk to a staff member and when I asked my query, she told me I'll find everything I need at the Indian Embassy website . If you look at the site, there are some information, but not the ones I'm lo...

Asian Institute of Management in India?

By -
I've been following the "new campus" moves of the Asian Institute of Management as of late and while I said my piece a while back, there was some development that reached the media last week. I've speculated that AIM's new campus may be outside of the Metro Manila. But how about a new campus outside of the Philippines? President Francis Estrada said in an interview with Business Standard : AIM is an Asian Institute and is not just for the Philippines. We are thinking of creating campuses beyond the capital Manila and are looking at proposals to establish presence in India. My take on this is that from a strategic point of view, it's pretty sound.The Indian graduate education student market is very huge and talented and AIM had seen a big growth of Indian students since the start of the 2000's. Here's a fact: For the MBA program, the Indian population in AIM has steadily grown and if you compare the 2001 class to our class, the Indian percentage o...
