One of the most awaited talks finally came to CKS College. Jonathan Yabut was invited by the Senior Organization to share an inspirational message and give advice to CKSCians. Over 100 students and professors attended the seminar held on the 14^th of November 2013 at the 4^th floor AVR, CKSC Narra Campus.

Jonathan Yabut graduated Cum Laude with the degree Bachelor of Science in Economics from the University of the Philippines. As an accomplished member of the UP Debate Society, he bested 400 debaters all over Asia and reached the semi-finals of the prestigious Asian University Debate Championships. He is the season 1 winner of the hit pan-Asian reality TV show, the Apprentice Asia, hosted by the Malaysian business mogul, Tony Fernandes.

Mr. Yabut talked about leadership and career management. "Take advantage of the fact that you can still choose your paths. It's gonna be a different story 5 years from now." he said,advising the students to choose their paths wisely, a path which a student would be able to enjoy and maximize his full potential in. Another remarkable message that had a huge impact to the audience was that the key to success is to have a “GRIT, “which means having passion and perseverance when working towards reaching one’s goals.

Despite the short seminar, Mr. Yabut was able to share a lot from his past experiences and learning and was able to inspire a lot of young aspiring businessmen and businesswomen. Five years from now, who knows, a CKSCian might just be in the list of the most influential persons of his generation.

In cognizance of the plight of our brothers and sisters severely affected by super typhoon Yolanda and the 7.2 earthquake, Chiang Kai Shek College, as a gesture of humanitarian spirit and outpouring of love and compassion, will accept students enrolled in Chinese-Filipino schools who are members of the Association of the Chinese-Filipino Schools in the Philippines in the affected areas of Tacloban, Samar, Bohol and Palawan completely free of charge in their school fees. They can immediately continue their studies in our school at the soonest possible time, so that they can move on with their lives quickly. 

For more information, please call telephone numbers 252-61-61 to 67 local 207. We also have dormitories for these students to stay for free, now that their homes are completely washed away by the storm surges, looted, or pulverized by the destructive earthquake.

In these very crucial and numbing times, we, at CKSC, are reaching out with our utmost assistance because we care.

The CKS College Student Executive Council, FRIENDS Peer Counselors' Organization, Junior Marketing Association, Hotel and Retaurant Management Society, Future Educators' Society, Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants, Junior Management Society, Computer Society, Young Entrepreneurs' Society, Junior Organization, and Senior Organization are uniting their efforts and are joining hands to proactively help, and not just talk about helping, victims of typhoon Yolanda.

With the devastation that hit Tacloban and its surrounding cities and provinces, FBAS CKSCians are reminded once again of how fleeting life can be, and how little acts of compassion can go a long way in helping those whose hope seem to have been washed away, along with the lives of loved ones, property, and posessions. For those hardest hit by this tragedy, their needs extend beyond the emotional and the spiritual... but more obviously, the physical. And even with the typhoon long gone, the aftermath remains, dead bodies and debris still flood the streets, and the challenge of rebuilding lives remain daunting.

Along with prayers and online support, CKSCians are given this opportunity to extend a hand and help the vicitms of the typhoon through a simple donation drive. Donations shall be accepted at the CKS College lobby on November 13-15. Please give new and/or old (but still useful and in good condition) clothes, mats, and blankets. Other possible items to donate are bottled water, biscuits, rice, canned goods, and hygiene kits.

As we are reminded of how blessed we are to have escaped nature's wrath and to still have loved ones to hug, let us help alleviate the suffering of our countrymen, and find it within our hearts and pockets to give. This is but a simple act-- from one human being to another.
