I wanted to join KaTA because I want to be more well-versed on the different socio-political issues here in the Philippines, especially in this day and age where our country elected very "reliable" leaders. *ehem ehem*

I look forward to widening my knowledge about these issues in our country and just a fun school year really as we end our stay here at the Ateneo Junior High School.

Interests: Playing video games, watching anime, and listening to music.

I joined KaTA 3 years ago. I was grade 7 at that time and my moderator (for class) was Mr. Ignacio. He introduced KaTA to me. At that time, I liked playing basketball and playing the guitar. Since there was a band in KaTA, Mr. Ignacio recommended the org. I got in and enjoyed it. I stayed up until now, my last year here in the AJHS.

Interests: Basketball, Watching Movies/Series, Going out with friends.

Nickname: Axel

I joined this org because I really like talking about politics, Philippine history, and issues in our country at the moment. I see so many people believe the misinformation that is being spread in social medias so I really want to educate them better. I also like doing projects, programs, and fun activities in our university! I also wanted to join this org to further improve my leadership skills. I heard that KaTA was a really good org, as it stayed since the 90s. I got interested, so I joined this org and hopefully, I learn a lot of things and make many fun memories.

I look forward to being a better leader progressively in every session. I also look forward to having more friends and make fun memories with them, as I said. I also want to learn many things, so I can encourage my friends to join the org. 😀

I'm interested in journalism, broadcasting, and talking about politics. I like being educated and educating other people. I also like listening to OPM songs (they're my favorite) and watching Netflix.

Nickname: Luigi (idiolect-[l̪(ʊ)ˈwid͡ʒi]), (basically /l(u)-wi-dyi/)

To be honest, the booth drew me in. I just signed up at the booth and here we are. I've been raised in a way that I can see what life looks like for the average Filipino from 3rd to 1st-person. I was both unsettled and curious to know more of this world and society since I started comprehending the news and related media. I anticipate that I'll learn more about this org's uhh...themes? like social awareness, history and leadership.

As you can see under my name, I'm interested in phonetics or phonology, the study of speech sounds. I'm also interested in orthography, specifically the study of writing systems/spelling rules. Though these are probably too niche to be relatable to others.

I was planning on joining KaTA back when I was in grade 7, but I pursued my interest in speaking through Debate Club during that time. Now that I finally had the chance to be part of this org, I'm actually quite excited to see Mr. Ignacio (again!!!) and everyone else in the org. I also know that this would be a fun experience for me as this would be my last year in the AJHS. I hope to be able to work well with everyone!

I'm interested in reading, writing, listening to music and math.

To be honest, I was only lost as to what org I should join, however after careful consideration (and an invitation from RC Apostol), I had the urge to join KaTA not only because I had no other interest but because of my care about student leadership, history and many others.

I expect and I am confident that in this org I'll have more connections and new knowledge I can work with in the future.

Interesting Fact: I am a happy person.

Honestly in my previous org I felt like I wasn't really able to do anything that mattered, and when RC was recruiting it seemed like KaTA had a lot more opportunities. Also, I'm interested in history and politics, so KaTA just seemed right.

For expectations, I just want to be able to experience something new. I'm hoping to have fun and gain new knowledge and skills:)

Interesting Fact: I can't think of a fun fact help
