LOOK CRUZ TALKING
NEW EXECOMM I LOOK for-ward to a very interesting year with you guys. Aside from past experiences, Kitkat Marie's motherly instincts, Gucci's council room dominance, Gianna's brains & personality, Irene's pub loyalty & extensive use of tumblr (sign of creativity 'yan, guys), Marc [Marie]'s pas-sion for fin (summer pa lang naririnig ko nang sumisingil), Zion Marie's obvious love for everything externals, and Vhet Marie's big big love for the org will make OBEM even better. Good luck to all of you and let's all help each other next year :) See you at Plansem! Let's all have fun this school year!

dela Cruz Breakeven Editor-in-Chief, AY 09-10
What does the presidency mean to you?
[The presidency] is never a title or something
to boast about. To me, it is the greatest privi-
lege to serve the people I have learned to
love and accept throughout my stay. If I
could only do the same service even if I am
not president, I would most gladly do so.
However, you can undoubtedly do much
more for OBEM in the Execomm and that is
the road I took. This last year, I want to give
it all and now, I could give it all for OBEM.
This presidency is me offering my entirety,
merits and flaws, and a giant leap from my
safe zone. What could possibly be a better
way to end college, right?
What does OBEM mean to you? I hope
what I said (in the previous question) reflects
what OBEM means to me. I can only imagine
myself rotting in the library, waiting during
my three-hour break in between classes
without them. Haha! Seriously, OBEM taught
me a lot about life and academics and friends
and all. It is the reason why I love being in
Econ. It is the reason why I love being a BE
major. It is the reason why I love being me.
Cheesy, it may seem. But, I desire to offer my
love and service the most to those who also
loved and served me in my lifetime.
What can members expect from the
OBEM Executive Committee AY 10-11? We
cal’t assure everymle tgat we whll nrmduce
the biggest & most successful events. How-
ever, we as an Execomm desire to hear out
[our members] and reach out more. [We
want] an organization truly led by the mem-
bers. This batch of Execomm will definitely
strive to bring OBEM back to stable grounds
and hopefully, build up again the passion of
the members. The year will be hard, but as
long as everyone trusts & willingly helps, we
believe we can all work this out. OBEM Exe-
comm 10-11 would definitely never quit
(because of our oath! Kidding!).
Will you implement any changes?
Changes still need to be ironed out during
Plalsek ald tgrmugg kekbers’ hlnuts. But
definitely, there are issues that need to be
addressed tm jeen us gmhlg (h.e. kekbers’
participation, org structure, etc.). We do
hope that everyone becomes involved and
informed about these [things], because at the
end of the day, the members are the ones
wgm whll be affected. ald sm, whtg everymle’s
help, we hope to arrive with a decision
bacjed un by everymle’s cmmnerathml..
Shout out! To OBEMers around the world:
I hope every OBEMer around the world sees
what OBEM has done for them and may they
continually reflect on the impact of OBEM in
their lives. Sometimes, we get too preoccu-
nhed whtg mur careers tgat we dml’t get tm
look back and see those things that paved the
way to where we are now. I hope in every
way they can, they remember that this little
org still exists and hopefully, preserve ties
with the org. They are also very free to do-
nate! (Hahaha!)
Seriously, your stories mean a lot to the
org, as inspirational forces, and OBEM would
be very happy to hear and sit a while with
you guys. While you guys are building ca-
reers, OBEM would definitely be building
bases to become an organization looked
upon in the whole of UP Diliman. Watch out
for that! :D
By the way, what are you doing this sum-
mer? The usual stuff. Bakery work! Hoping to
fhld al hlterlsghn but lucj’s lmt yet ml ky
side. and never forget, the OBEM stuff. :) P.S.
I hope me and my thesis partner can also
start reading journals for our thesis!
itkat is sweeter than her chocolate namesake & baked goodies combined. Though often considered the silent type, her passion for OBEM resonates through her actions. Her heart & determination are what make her a true leader. K

EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT
08 BREAKEVEN MONTHLY SPECIAL APRIL 2010
O
What does being Vice President for
Academic Affairs mean to you? Being the
VP for Acads is the result of people trust-
ing me. I won't break that trust. I'll do
my best because you all made the right
choice! GO Acads! GO OBEM!
What does OBEM mean to you?
OBEM is my family here in the UP. Siya
[ang] nag-aalaga sakin sa college. and
now as a member of the Execomm, I'll
take care and protect OBEM para naman
marami pa siyang maalagaan na mga
taong tulad ko sa darating na hen-
erasyon. Just like a real family, I'd hate to
see it fall apart so I'll do my best to keep
it whole.
What can members expect from the
OBEM Executive Committee AY 10-11?
An Execomm na approachable with a
happy-friendly vibe. Our enthusiasm will
be INFECTIOUS! You'll feel it up to the
tips of your fingers! But seriously, with
everything that has happened, siguro ex-
pect an Execomm that will hold on until
the very end. WE ♥ YOU ALL!
What can members expect from next
year’s Acads Coppittee? NO OBEMER
LEFT BEHIND: All members shall be CS
and US this year. Joke! We'll do our best
to help the members in their academics.
Exnect al Acads tgat’ll be tgere tm asshst
you sa long & harrowing UP life mo.
We'll try our best to make things easier
for you para maka-graduate ka na fresh
& pretty pa rin at hindi mukhang panda
or nasalanta ng bagyo. We'll also be or-
ganizing fun & exciting events that will
promote awareness sa nangyayari sa
Philippines at sa world na related sa
business & economics! Mga astig na BBC
at CNN level of awareness ang paguusa-
pan natin ng masinsinan! Pero syempre,
Acads won't be nerdy! We'll be smart yet
sizzlin' hot & SEXY!
Will you be implementing any
changes? Yes. When organizing events,
we'll make it like Eco-no-mix, meaning
that there are main project coordinators
(PCs) and sub PCs. This would hopefully
help lessen the
work-
load of
each
indi-
vidual
in an
event because the work will be distrib-
uted. But honestly, for this to be success-
ful dapat super bonded ang members
kasi paano yun kung ang dami niyo
nang PCs sa event tapos hindi naman
kayo naguusap? Eh di magkakagulo lang
dahil walang coordination. Kaya naman
gagawin naming bonding activity ang
pagaayos ng sample exams (samplex).
Mag-bo-bonding kami over samplex fix-
ing. [Aside from that] we'll be doing a lot
of fun things together. ACADS, be ready!
Our bondings shall range from chaka
bondings (i.e., jogging sa oval) to sosyal
bondings (i.e., snorkeling sa Tubbataha
Reef). Mag-fu-fundraise din kami ng
bongga all-year round.
(Continued on page 15) ALL’S WELL
WITH GIANNA-BELLE. Abello strikes a pose,
ready to face Mishkin, Perkins
et al.
THE
ACADAME
ith sunshine following her wherever she goes, Gianna will certainly bring a new light and energy to the or-ganization. Her charm, fidelity to duty and dedication will bring the Acads Committee to the next level. W
Gianna Abello mixes the
perfect combination of
brains, beauty and of
course, business.

ne of the most calm & com-posed people
ymu’ll ever keet, Zion rarely breaks a sweat. Her patience is long, her vigor is palpable and her
spirit is infectious. If Adidas needs an en-
dorser for their “Iknmsshble hs lmtg-hlg” caknahgl, sge should be first on their speed-dial.
EXTEND
What does being the Vice President for External Affairs
mean to you? Being a VP for Exte is a great, great responsibility.
While the demands of the job seem too overwhelming for me, I
find that taking this opportunity to serve OBEM is my way of
sharing with other people the opportunity to shine and to in-
spire others, OBEMers and non-OBEMERs alike, to be an active
helper in developing society. :)
What does OBEM mean to you? OBEM to me is home. Here,
I have found some of my most cherished people. It's also an
avenue for learning and growth.
What can pepbers exqect frop next year’s Exte Coppit-
tee? This past year has been very good to our committee. I be-
lieve I am right if I say that we have achieved so much this
school year. And for me, the next best thing we can expect
from our committee is that we continue the burning passion in
order to shine more and BE more!
Will you implement any changes?Changes? Hmm. None that
I cal tghlj mf. Well, agahl, ht’s because I elvhshml al Exterlals
Committee that will continue soaring higher and keep getting
better. Surely, you won't be missing that Extereeemeely HOT
vibe of the EXternals Committee!

INTE BACK

What does being the Vice President for Internal Affairs mean
to you? It was VP Inte or nothing. I really wanted to have that
chance and opportunity to do more for OBEM and its members.
I've felt that it was my calling. Though may target talaga akong
makatrabaho kaya ako nag-Inte. (Half-meant ito.) Noon pa
lang, sobrang gusto ko na mag-serve sa members. Feeling ko
sobrang mahal na mahal ko sila. kaya wala na akong ibang
kinonsider kundi VP Inte.
What does OBEM mean to you? Pwede mo na ngang sabihin
na "I'm in a relationship with OBEM" since sa kanya lang na-
man ang oras ko at walang araw na hindi ko siya naiisip.
What can members expect from the OBEM Executive Com-
mittee AY 10-11? Expect an EXECOMM for the members. Every
decision, we'll be considering the welfare of our dear OBEMers.
We'll be as transparent as possible. ONE loving Execomm for
OBEM and OBEMers.
Will you implement any changes? Not so much of change, but
we promise to be more efficient and more affectionate. LOL.
Shout out! OBEM, [I] don't have much to say. Hope this is
enough: I Trust and Love You.
VHET ON IT. Pena, always proud to be an OBEMer is a sure-win bet. Indeed, she is the queen of our hearts. eeping such a
diverse group of people
united as a family is not an easy task but if anyone is fit for the challenge,
ht’s Vget. Sge hs fm-cused, level-headed & compassionate, making her the
perfect madre de familia.

Vhet Pena devotes herself to the org and keeps
the passion alive.

nance mean to you? Being VP for Fin means
being the daddy to future Fin mems, being the
mother/financier for a family called OBEM, and
being a brother to my co-Execommers all at the
same time.
What does OBEM mean to you? OBEM is
my family and life here in Econ. :-)
What can members expect from the OBEM
Executive Committee AY 10-11? OBEMers can
expect a new breed of Execommers with fresh,
new, bold ideas!
What can pepbers exqect frop next year’s
Fin Committee? Expect the unexpected! HAHA!
Will you implement any changes? Yes, I will
definitely be implementing some changes in the
Finance committee. First is regarding the com-
mittee's structure & the different roles of each
Fin member (from VP to Director to PCs). Next,
I will add and remove some fundraisers to the
current event line-up. Lastly, as I have said in
my SPOA, the Finance Committee shall now be
the one to set the budget for each event/activity.
Shout out! OBEM, I love you! :) To the future
Fin mems: I'm gladly welcoming you to the fin-
est, fiercest committee around the block. We
shall make OBEM a gazillion times richer! Joke!
But kidding aside, thank you for choosing Fin!
And, I guarantee you that you and I are going to
have a blast this coming semester!

able to improve myself, realize my skills and believe in
