It may sound cliche-ish, but my experience "going down from the hill" was eye-opening. We were coming up with solutions for their businesses but having presented it to them felt like we were missing some marks on how to actually help them. In a way, that taught me that going down from the hill doesn't mean helping from a condescending viewpoint. It means being one with the people in their struggles in all genuineness of heart.

# data[].attributes.body
Para sa akin, napamulat ang mata ko sa kakayahan ng mga mahirap. Kahit maliit lang ang ari-arian nila, o kumbaga nabigyan sila ng mahirap na buhay, makikita na may kakayahan pa din sila maging masaya. Katulad ng kausap namin sa Magpantay, basta may makain, matulugan at may pamilya, kakayanin ang lahat. Ayun talaga yung ang overarching theme na nakita namin sa pagbaba sa burol ng Loyola.

It wasn't really a down from the hill journey for me since i am from the province and i believe i've never been up on the hill but nonetheless, it was an amazing experience being able to to interact with SME's from faraway places in the Philippines and knowing the inside and outs of their entrepreneurship.

# data[].attributes.body
My experience with SAFFY and MAVCO was humbling and inspiring. I was able to fully realize certain realities and the role I could play as a helping hand. Usually it is easy to misjudge the real struggles that exist in the lives of many but I was able to "go down the hill". It was a humbling experience to speak with people that serve to offer more opportunities to others. At the same time, I am inspired to do the same especially as a Management student.

- Sky Guerrero, MGT-C

My down from the hill journey was very enlightening. It allowed me to see the world from our partner organization's perspective. It was also more fun than expected, our Nanay Cora and other members in the online engagement have been very kind and really insightful. Their honesty really allowed us not just to apply our lessons from school, but also learn life lessons.

-Bernardo Closa III, MGT-C

The experience was amazing because at first I did not think that doing it online would work, but in the end, it all fell into place. Being able to help someone and feeling their gratitude towards you is one of the best things that a person can experience. It was challenging all throughout but it was all worth it in the end knowing that we provided insights and info that would really help the person.

# data[].attributes.body
It was very inspiring for me because I met new people, particularly the owner of MAVCO, who genuinely wants to help others. Ma'am Corazon, I believe, is doing an excellent job in terms of assisting others by providing several job opportunities to those who are in need. I was motivated to reach my full potential and assist them in growing their business. As a result, I am able to assist others in building a community where people help one another. This journey taught me a lot about how to share my blessings and how to be a man for others.

- Chua, Cleeve (MGT-C)

Pretty fun. My group and I got to make use of our learnings in a practical setting and got to help another person in his livelihood. We were able to improve ourselves and another simultaneously through this entire journey. It's also a reflective thing where we were able to see if our suggestions were practical and relevant to the situation of our partner.

# data[].attributes.body
At first, being in the engagement merely felt like a requirement to me. Given this, going down the hill wasn't really something intentional for me because I sort of had no choice. Although it came to the point where I was having fun and was voluntarily trying to keep a fun conversation with the MAVCO. I guess the going down the hill aspect for me isn't about attending the engagements or not, but it's about the willingness to make the sector smile, or to create and prolong a discussion with them in a sense. As time passed by, I found joy in creating relationships with them and I super appreciated the healthy and insightful dynamic we had.

# data[].attributes.body
It makes me see the world from a different perspective, makes me appreciate life a little bit more. I got to meet different people and learn about them through their experiences. It's an enlightening experience to understand how they are able to get through life with such a strong and passionate heart. It just shows me how through constantly working hard you would be able to reach greater heights.

# data[].attributes.body
For me my down from the hill journey experience was fulfilling. It was fulfilling because from what we saw we were able to realize that we could help in different ways and it was a great opportunity to be able to share and execute what we learned. Furthermore it was a great experience to be able to help small businesses that are struggling far from where we are currently

# data[].attributes.body
My experience from SAFFY and MAVCO was really enlightening and eye opening as we were able to see things from different perspectives. We were not only able to try to find solutions for the problems they were encountering in their business, but also get to know them on a more personal level. It’s really inspired me to always work hard and be hopeful of the future.

1. Identify 2-3 annunciation moments from your online engagements. Please explain.

1. First meeting with MAVCO and SAFFY

1. This moment, especially because of their stories, made me empathize with them greatly.

2. Final Online Engagement with MAVCO and SAFFY

1. During the final online engagement I was sad and happy at the same time because even though we were saying goodbye, I was happy seeing how glad they were to have engaged with us.

2. What did you learn from these annunciation moments?

1. It changed my mindset when doing business. As I have said during the final OE, I now want to help others with my business, and not just focus on fulfilling my personal interests.

3. What insights were you able to get from your online engagements and speaker in relation to the potential of your discipline to contribute to social development?

1. It really requires time and a lot of effort in order to contribute to social development. Minsan nga, no matter how much time and effort they exert, they can't do anything because of challenges like the pandemic. Despite that, they never stopped.

4. How do you see yourself applying your course towards service and sustainable development? Cite three (3) examples.

1. First, I see myself providing just compensation to all of my employees. I will never exploit them for their work.

2. Second, I see myself not just giving them an opportunity to work, but also to build personal relationships with them that will not only help the business but also their side incase they need help.

3. Lastly, I see myself manifesting as early as now all of the lessons I have picked up so that when I finally have a business of my own, I would definitely implement them.

# data[].attributes.body
To be honest, I've changed my mind about becoming a businessman in the future since embarking on this journey. At first, all I wanted was to make a lot of money so I could buy the things I wanted and live life to the fullest. This journey, however, changed my heart because it taught me that starting a business is about more than just making money and becoming wealthy. It's all about meeting new people, assisting one another, and learning from one another. When Ma'am Corazon said that we had helped them so much and that she hoped we would one day become good leaders, I became very emotional. I was overcome with emotion because she had inspired me to be more than just myself. Although I was disappointed that this journey had to come to an end, I was overjoyed that I had grown during these sessions and simple small talks with Saffy and MAVCO.

-Cleeve Chua (MGT-C)

# data[].attributes.body
Moments that truly struck me was 1) when Maam Corazon gives her supplies to people who need jobs when her, herself, is also running out of rubber materials for her own business and 2) when she said that age doesn't stop her from giving back to the community.

I learned that nothing really stops you from helping other people. There is no reason for you to not help the bigger circle around you and be of service to them. Maam Corazon may be old and also struggling with her own business, she still tries to offer as much livelihood opportunities to the people who ask help from her. She said something along the lines of "Kung walang tutulong sa kanila edi sino na? Paano sila kakain"  which really moved me. I realized that I have so much resources and capacities yet there are people who are really struggling. It's time time redirect the way I view and live out life to help others day by day.

As a MGT Major, it all really boils down to getting to know the sector. You won't fully target the needs of your market if you don't reach out and initiate immersion and conversation with these sectors. Corporations have the responsibility to uphold human dignity, justice, and social cooperation through redirecting their profits and efforts towards the common good.

# data[].attributes.body
1. When I discovered that the pandemic has affected much of their business, I felt (to a higher degree) the drastic effects that COVID-19 has caused to those who are financially less fortunate. My family and I were also affected, but we should be grateful because we can still somehow make ends meet despite all that's been happening.

2. When I discovered that running a business isn't so easy if you have limited resources and manpower. We were presenting all sorts of improvements for the business, and some of our suggestions required a relatively large overhaul on their part (expenses, operations), which they thought were impractical for a business of their scale. We had to adjust our suggestions to keep up with their needs and abilities, so that made me realize that providing solutions to communities or businesses that need it isn't really that easy.

I think that a prominent attitude from my BIGKIS formators was that of openness and the zeal to understand the community's needs. We cannot provide solutions if we do not first understand or immerse ourselves in their environment.

I see myself applying the learnings from my course in 3 ways: 1, the ability to generate profit for the less fortunate using business as an instrument, 2, the ability to manage operations and help SMEs grow in a strategic way, 3, work for a sustainable industry which I can contribute my skills to.

# data[].attributes.body
1. a. The first online engagement with MAVCO made me realize that a business that serves a purpose greater than itself will always find a way to be successful. It was a type of deep realization for me and what how I want to be in the future. Ma'am Cora despite going through many difficulties always found a way to continue business because of her partner households.
b. I also realized the dedication and hardwork it took to handle an organization as such. I felt a sudden urge to find a real and concrete way to help MAVCO.

2. The annunciation moments helped me to change my mindset about business. Other than making profit, what matters is also the legacy and impact your business has on the world.

3. As I mentioned earlier, I realized that management students hold a lot of responsibility because they are the innovators and entrepreneurs of the future. We hold a responsibility to provide opportunities for others but not at the cost of other things such as the environment. We also hold the power to inspire as well.

4. I could offer opportunities for the marginalized and lift up other local businesses/products while doing that. As a management student I can fix my business model towards sustainability.

Sky Guerrero (MGT-C)

1. (a) My first annunciation moment was when our partner described how he had to work several jobs on top of his own business, all in order to keep his life afloat. His business  was successful before, but after the pandemic it all just went downhill and he was forced to live a new type of life surviving day by day.
(b) My second annunciation moment is his life lesson, where he states that he just "needs the bare minimum to get by." Furthermore, he says that these scenarios like the pandemic are out of his control and that there's nothing he could do to stop it from affecting his life. The sadness in his voice revealed the immense pressure he had to live through in his daily life.

2. I learned to never judge a book by its cover. Initially, I did not see anything wrong with his situation. He looked perfectly fine, and I thought that his business was doing well. This was because our first two online engagements were used for analysis of operations. However in the third online engagement we delved more into his personal life and discovered how deep his issues actually go. I extend great sympathy towards him and hope things turn out all right.

3. That business operations analysis is not enough for social development. One should not spend all day looking at analytics, statistics, and numbers. They should immerse themselves in the situation of the socially-deprived. They should not be afraid to ask personal questions (as long as it does not offend the interviewee). This way, one could apply a more holistic mindset in solving these social issues.

4. (a) Immerse one's self in their situation.
(b) Analyze statistics such as financials and operations
(c) Try to come up with creative solutions to maintain profitability while creating service and sustainable development (well, development does not occur without money).

-Rixian Sy, MGT-C

1. My annunciation moments came from reflection and by realizing something significant in the online engagements. I realized that there is a huge learning gap between those that have been open to sufficient learning and training capabilities compared to those that do not. College students especially in higher ranking universities are open to a lot of learning opportunities and skills if ever they want to open a business. People without these learning opportunities such the recipients of BIGKIS have no such opportunities because of a lack of resources and support, and simply in the environment that they live in. So it is an amazing opportunity that college students in our own little way can help other people that do not have the same learning opportunities that we have and make their lives better.
2. With these, i realized the value of providing learning opportunities for people that need it. A simple Filipino farmer have little clue about marketing, production process, HR and etc, but if we could provide opportunitites for them to learn we could help in some way.
3. In my course i have realized the importance of the knowledge and skills being embedded in me to further develop a business. With these i can help not just my own future business but the businesses of those around me that are struggling as well.
4. I could use my course in the future to improve agriculture and farmers, especially since im from Mindanao, and most farmers need financial and business education.

1. Affection at Reflection. Affection dahil sa salita ng aming kausap: "Nako Ser _____ nabigyan ako ng pag-asa kasi alam  namin na tutulungan niyo kami." kung saan talagang handa sila magpatulong kahit kanino, kahit sa mga estudyante lamang. Reflection naman dahil sa estado ng buhay ng kausap namin. Hindi namin masabi  kung talagang mahirap ba sila, kasi sa huliing huli, masaya sila. Kahit may kakulangan sila sa pera o sa kakayahan, kaya pa din nila sabihin na masaya sila kumpara sa mga ibang kakilala ko na mayaman ngunit nahihirapan sa buhay. Kung ganun, dito ako napaisip kung ano ba talaga ang nagpapasaya sa buhay?

2. Sa mga annuciation moments na ito, talagang napapalit ang isip ko sa mga OE mula sa isang academic requirement patungong isang pakikipagtulong sa kapwa. Talagang pinagusapan naming magkagrupo kung ano pwede namin maitulong at maituro na pasok sa kakayahan ng aming kausap na institution.

3. Sa insights naman, ang pinaka tema na nakuha ko ay maeencapsulate sa salitang "Do business for others." Kung sakali na ang unang layunin ng negosyo ay makaipon ng pera para sa pamumuhay, and pangalawang layunin ay dapat upang makatulong sa iba kahit sa anumang paraan (pagbigay ng trabaho, donasyon, atbp)

4. Sa BS MGT, talagang negosyo ang pokus ng kurso na ito, kung ganun, ang paggawa ng social enterprise, non profit organizations at donation drives ang pinaka estereotipikong pagsisikap na magagawa ng kurso na ito.

a. Reflect. Having known the problems one might encounter in doing a particular business, being able to reflect on what I learned is an important factor because it’s good to never take any learning opportunities for granted.
b. Strong emotions. I felt strong emotions with the stories of how our partner was having a hard time and having sick family members at a point. I was also inspired on how hardworking he is to provide for his family

2. My personal response is to be more determined in doing what I love and doing it for the people I love

3. Our partner gathered some of his loyal employees from just within the neighborhood. I learned that being friendly and accommodating can really help you in several aspects of life

4.
A. As an MGT student, being able to provide the needs of the present while not taking from the future is the main focus for sustainable development
B.  Service is an industry wherein MGT students may thrive for their ability to innovate and think of the most efficient ways to do something in particular
C. Being able to develop an industry that displays sustainable development is a vital factor for a manager for he or she must consider the future of the business whilst not affecting the present

The first moment was when we were talking to our partner communities, I felt nervous at first but after OE1 it made me feel really excited for the following engagements to come. While there were times I felt emotional when I heard the troubling experiences that my partner community was going through. With regards to how they're doing health wise amidst this pandemic. Instead of being troubled by the pandemic they're choosing to move forward and continue working hard.

2. I learned that despite feeling down and unsure about what situations may come your way always try to go through them with a courageous heart.

3. I was able to learn that no matter where you are in life, as long as you have the determination to succeed then it will happen for you.

4. I see myself applying this course towards service and sustainable development by being able to look for ways to assess how I can be of assistance to local businesses creating products.

- We didnt really understand their situation - limited resources and manpower
- tayako = study hard and contribute to society

Closa
- Annunciation came from saying goodbye - sad but happy especially with the joy of them talking with each other - happy with helping them - shows that for them, it was a big thing for closas group to help out
- tayako = when i start my own business, its not only for self interest, we dont want to just make money, we want to help others

Olivan
-  Annunciation moment for me was reflection - especially as more OEs happened. This made it change from just an academic requriement to sincerly helping another person
- Tayako = Putting up a business even if the first purpose is for self sustenance, the next purpose should be on being of service to others. Also for the fact that a business will never be successful UNLESS it is for the service of others.

NSTP Areas: MAVCO and SHEENA'S HANDICRAFTS

Notes
Guerrero:
- Annunciation moment was the first online engagement because he realized that a business that serves a purpose is valuable and it motivates you to be successful for others
- For MAVCO, they also provided livelihood programs to the community
- The challenge for me is to do something similar in the future in my own endeavors. Just like Maam Cora, despite the challenges encountered she persevered to help others. I also felt the urge to help small businesses like MAVCO.
- Dedication, effort, initiative, and hard work is needed to help others as well.
- Business is more than just making profit, but it should also be impact-oriented and guided by social purpose. As innovators and entrepreneurs, we have this social responsibility.

Sarilla:
- We were thought about many knowledge and theories in class about business, although in immersing with partner communities we have the opportunity to really get to know the sector and the people were trying to help; their operations and their hardships. It's more personal.
- Most of them really didn't get sufficient education but it didn't stop them from working hard and knowing the ins and outs of their livelihood.
- There is value in imparting the knowledge I learned in school to the community I strive to serve.

Reg:
- My annunciation moments were when Maam Cora said that she's giving as much rubber supplies to the community around her so that they can have their own livelihood opportunity even when Maam Cora herself is running out of supplies.
- Maam Cora also stated that even though she's old and struggling with her own business, she still tries to help and give back to community.
- There is literally nothing stopping you to help other people, even if you're struggling yourself or if you're ageing. Everyone has the capacity to help. Nothing is stopping us from giving back to the community.
- Corporations and businesses have the responsibility to give back to community because these groups have so much resources and capabilities compared to the small businesses who are struggling trying to help each other in small communities.
- There is value in reaching out and being willing to immerse and converse with these communities and use that contextualized knowledge to redirect the business' resources to help the common good. They need to maximize their resources to help struggling businesses who have so little.

1 & 2
a. My first annunciation moment came when Ma'am Cora said that she'd need more supplies to be able to give more opportunities for her partner households and neighbors to gain profit and work. She mentioned how she cared more about them than just making money for herself. It was heartwarming to hear this because I really always thought that business was all about making money or maximizing income. She showed us that there's a deeper meaning behind doing business.

b. My second annunciation moment came during our last online engagement wherein we were all reflecting together and giving our final thanks to each other. When Nanay Cora remained grateful and hopeful for the opportunities and for us being there. How she would never fail to thank us for everything and even joke around with us and give us life advice. It made me feel a bit sentimental about how time runs so fast and I could see how not only we were able to help them, but them inspiring us for the past month. I really can't take this for granted.

3. As I said earlier, business isn't just all about making money and living the perfect life. It's about helping others succeed and grow with you in your journey. It's about trying to make this world a better place.

4. I can apply this by not exploiting any of my employees as I become an employer in the future. I would also make sure to prioritize their health and growth by getting to know them personally as well and not just seeing them as workmates or machines that get things done. I will build organic relationships with them. Lastly, I will try to engage more with communities like SAFFY & MAVCO to get to educate myself and be more aware of the different types of businesses that may also need my help.

2. These moments changed my perspective on running a business, it inspired me to pursue a line of work that is more passion-based instead of business centralised.

3. From the online engagements, I learned that everyone has the potential and chance to contribute to social development if they have the heart to do so. If more companies were to take this into account the business world would be a better place! You dont have to be a big corporation to be able to contribute to social development

1. First meeting with MAGPANTAY HANDICRAFTS.
This was an experience that made me empathize with them and also create a relationship.

2. Last meeting with Kuya Don
Kuya Don was really a great person and getting to know him through the online engagement were really interesting.

These moments taught me how a person is still persevering in order to support his family and workers.

Sometimes we are so much focused and used to the academic setting we forget to become practical. In my down from the journey we are taught different concepts from SocSci as well as OpMan, but the thing is in reality, the applications of these are harder than it actually is. It is very difficult to just apply what we have learned and share it with the partner communities as there are more complex factors that affect them. We really have to immerse ourselves to see the world from their side so that we can further understand that not all things can be easily said and done. We need to gauge the pressing issues and limitations that they have and we need to work from there. That is why I don't believe in the saying that it is the poor's fault and decision that they remain poor since it is society's system that disables them from keeping up. Not only did we have to come up with solutions and recommendations for their situation but we needed to assess how realistic it is, practical, attainable and more.
