Hello mga kasosyo at mga kanegosyo.

Welcome sa Usapang Pera Live.

Ako ang inyong financial guru, si Sir Vince.

At nandito tayo ngayon sa aking...

Actually, this is my fourth Alma Mater.

Kasi nung elementary and high school, nung college, nung master's,

and now I'm taking up my Ph.D.

sa Northwestern Mindanao State College of Science and Technology

dito sa Tanggub City.

And of course, napaka-honored ko ngayon

that we are with the president of NMSC

who is our beloved daddy, ang tawag namin sa kanya.

He is a scholar.

Scholar lang naman nito dati sa Fulbright.

At saka siya rin ay isa sa mga outstanding teachers ng Metrobank

nung siya ay kabataan pa.

So ayun, I'd like to introduce to you the president of NMSC,

si Daddy Glenn or si Herbert Glenn Pujante Reyes.

Doctor.

Good day, good day, good day.

Hello daddy.

Daddy po ang tawag ko sa kanya dahil...

Bakit nga ba daddy-daddy?

Because you joined a program

where I became the national leader of the program.

It's the Ship for Southeast Asian Youth Program.

Ayan, okay.

At ngayon po ay nandito tayo sa kanya,

sa kanyang turf dito sa Tanggub City.

At gusto ko lang muna ipakita, dad,

itong aking ginawa dito sa campus

para they have a feel.

Chinik ako ang ilang mga estudyante.

So panoorin po natin ito.

Hello everyone.

Nandito ngayon tayo sa

Northwestern Mindanao State College

of Science and Technology.

At kasama natin ang mga estudyante dito.

Anong pangalan?

Aleia.

Aleia.

Rosemary.

Rosemary.

Kimberly.

Kimberly.

Si Kimberly at si Crizel.

Okay, so anong ginagawa ninyo ngayon?

Anong siniprepare natin?

Okay, everyone.

Crispy red shaped banana.

Crispy crunchy banana.

Oo.

Ito pao ba yan?

I-try niyo na, sir.

I-try ko na.

So paano ninyo ito ginawa?

First, sir.

Ano namin.

This side samo.

Tapos pagkatapos,

nilagyan namin ng

egg with flour.

Tapos patatapos dito,

nilagyan namin ng breadcrumbs.

Tapos then,

and then,

dini-fry.

Dini-fry.

Oo, okay.

Pero isang masarap naman ita.

Oo.

So,

i-rate ko.

Mmm.

1 to 10,

hibigyan ko ito ng

9.

Oo.

Diba?

Magkalang yung ito ay binibenta?

Only 10 pesos.

10 pesos.

10 pesos.

10 pesos.

Okay, sige.

So babayaran ko kayo mamaya, ha?

Wait a while.

Sir.

So, yun, dad.

Nabumili ako ng dalawang

crispy fried banana sa kanila.

At 50 pesos isa.

50?

Yes.

Parang po 10.

50 kasi siyempre,

ano yun.

Ang heart ko nadurog.

Yun.

Babayit niya kasi.

Ayan, no?

Pero,

given that nakita natin

yung mga napaka energetic na mga bata,

mga Gen Z na yung mga yan, no?

So, dad,

what do you think is the biggest challenge

facing the Gen Z students today?

At ano nang ginagawa

ng NMSC to address this?

Basically,

the way I personally look at it,

students now are...

I would say na

tumulutang pa rin

ang anong gusto nila sa buhay nila.

That even after they finish,

they tend to still question

kung saan sila pupunta.

And that is the reality here.

So that,

even if they have already the course,

after which,

pagkatapos nila,

ang question pa rin,

saan sila pupunta

at kung anong gagawin.

So,

basically what we do here

in NMSCST

is prepare them for that.

We realize that that is one

challenge that we will be

facing so that

the start of the

first year pa nila rito,

ginagawa na namin paraan.

Involving themselves on researches

para kahit papano

ma-research din nila

o anong gagawin nila sa buhay nila.

Correct.

So, that is how we

hone them.

And also,

inject also,

the culture of

what an NMSC

or a Blue General should be.

In fairness,

from Blue Eagle,

Blue General na rin ako kayo na.

So, ano in particular dat

yung mga ginagawa nyo

to prepare them on how to find a job

after graduation?

It's not only a job.

Because I always tell them that

we are not here to look for a job.

It's for us to live a life

of what we want and what we aim for.

So, that is how I perceive

a person is

when you are being educated or in

higher education institution.

So that, when

giving advice to them,

I always tell them,

look for

various skills

that are in the list

of the 21st century

skills.

So, if you know those

skills, then you are secured

of what to do in life.

So, that will be the barometer

now that

if you know how to do

management,

leadership, all those

skill set,

then you'll be able to

prepare for whatever

dream you have.

If you finish agriculture,

because you have a leadership,

you can manage, you can create,

you know computers,

you can go through it

and it's easy for you because

you have the skill set

that is required of you.

So, it's not only

just being an employee,

but I think all the more, a leadership role.

So, they can be an entrepreneur.

Yes, entrepreneur, they can create

their own, a new concept

of a business,

a new opportunity for other

people to work with them.

So, these are the things that

we are aiming for.

I'd love to be part of that.

And like what we saw earlier, the students

are very natural

in terms of the social media

and technology.

So, how has

been NMSC

in terms of technology and what

are we doing to

make our students

adept in technology?

Tanggub City is

quite far from

the

advanced cities.

Our college,

as we pursue

conversion to become a university,

tried really to

upgrade our technology

base, the digital,

the link to

the world.

So, we have to keep that

gear because

we know that our students

are from the neighborhood

mountains,

from the neighborhoods,

municipalities, and things like that.

And the exposure of technology is that

much. So that

we bring them here and

expose them here.

It's a challenge

because there's no cell phone,

they don't have

a basic

cell phone,

text and send.

They don't have

an advanced

cell phone.

So,

we have to bring them here,

expose them to technologies.

It's a little bit of a challenge

because

maybe some of them

are new.

So, we expose them.

Most of our rooms here

have this

television already for presentation

or lecture or whatever.

Actually, I also saw that you have a computer laboratory.

Yes.

There are machine laboratories

for that.

Shoutout

to GlobeSmart and DITO.

My signal is so weak here.

That's true.

I think that's the basics.

Okay.

What are the unique opportunities

or programs available

to Gen Z students here at NMSCST?

We are trying to

design programs here

that would really cater to

opening new doors.

But that would be the second phase

of our

programs.

Because our first phase

is to become a university.

What are our programs?

Our common programs and things like that.

Although,

agriculture is there.

The business

and administration

courses focus on hotel

and restaurant and

hospitality management.

Then, we have

the mathematics.

We have education.

We have political science.

These are the programs. Of course, the IT

programs that we have.

These are the basic programs that are common

now.

But our

next step towards

the development of the

college to become a university

is to focus on

new programs on

sciences. We'll be offering

psychology,

pharmacy,

dentistry, possibly medicine.

Things like that.

It's going to be a high-end.

Then, we have new programs

where we'd like to focus on

farm tourism, make the

agriculture sexier,

and make the agriculture

palatable to the tastes of the young

so that they can go

into entrepreneurship.

My father is not a farmer anymore.

I'll be a farmer too.

That's not the concept

that we're building now.

So, they'll be farmpreneurs.

Agripreneurs.

Of course, we at

SEDP, actually, my dark plan

is to also

forge a partnership with NMSCST

to share

the actual

applications and actual

implementations on the ground

in the fields of microfinance,

social entrepreneurship. Actually, we have

one program here

with the Department of Agriculture.

They gave us a trading

post.

We put up a building there

wherein we

were also

given this

boom truck

to fetch

the farm produce

and bring them to our trading post.

So, it's going to be

cheaper than

having the middlemen.

So, I think

SEDP can get into that.

I'll link you to

our partnership with

Consolidator of Vegetables.

It's called Organic Options.

What it does is it

collates and then it sells it

to supermarkets

like Substance, SM.

Here in Mindanao, we're not yet present.

So, maybe this is one of the opportunities.

We know for a fact that

it requires a database

on when the harvest is

and where it is.

So, there's a daily supply

of the period when the other side

doesn't have the harvest.

That's the scheduling that will happen.

Right.

Let's go to Miss Universe's question.

If you could go back in time and give

your 20-year-old self

one piece of advice,

what would it be and how will that

be applicable to the Gen Z?

Determination.

You have to be determined on

what you want to do in life.

Focus on it.

Challenges will come and go

but if you're determined to reach

that goal, you can.

So, that's one word, I think.

Yes.

I think that's what I did.

I'm determined to become an educator.

I'm determined to be there.

Along the way,

I made some business and things like that

but it's still there.

It's still there.

Actually, I remember, Daddy, we had

intimate conversations before.

This was also asked and what you said

before is, you are disciplined and

consistent.

You remember that, right?

Which is very much in line with determination.

That's why, young people,

don't let your heart get weak.

That's what we're saying.

Okay, and what do you think

makes NMSC stand out

from other universities?

If you come to the campus,

the campus itself is a beautiful campus.

If you can feature here

the campus,

there's branding

and there's that

feel of

uniqueness to it.

Actually, you're in the middle of nature.

Yes.

We want to blend with nature and we have some

patches here that are being preserved

though the buildings are a bit modern already.

That's one.

Secondly, the programs that we are

tending towards

in the 10 years,

we want to pursue

the concept of smart university.

We don't

get left behind.

We always think

that

to be a global university,

even if we're here in the

inside of the world,

we can still be a global

university and we can still

link

with the world.

We have our linkages with

Rutgers University

and State University

of New York, which started it,

and coming our Hokkaido University

and some Asian universities

that we are arranging now.

So that we know that

even if we are here, far

from Mindanao

and in Tangup City, but still

the global world is still

can cater us there.

You're making

global local.

You're bringing it to local scene.

What exactly

would you do with these partner

universities?

Right now, capacity

building for our faculty.

Collaboration on research

with our students and faculty.

Right now,

research collaborations

are being done.

We have a partner in the State University

of New York wherein they are

sponsoring, they gave us

a grant for

a grant

writing workshop

in which

the participants,

if there are 30 participants,

there will also be 30 faculty

of SUNY who will be collaborating

with each different.

So that's our

trajectory.

In Rutgers,

it's basically on researches on

agriculture.

Biological researches

on agriculture.

Lastly, kasi sinasabi nila

kung kailangan ko pa bang mag-college

ngayon? Relevant o ba yan?

Ang mahal-mahal. If they come

to NMSC, dad, how much

should one prepare para makatapos

sila? Pabasahin lang papuntang

NMSC.

At saka,

yung cost of

your residence

and your food here.

Because college education

here in NMSC

is free.

May grade requirement?

Wala.

Pumasok ka lang.

This is through

UNIFAS.

The government is sponsored.

All students in the

State Universities and Colleges, all

tuition and miscellaneous

fees are paid for.

Do they have to come to a specific

area?

So kahit na Tagalog zon ako, puwede?

Yes, they can come.

What they can do is

apply for the program

that they want, take the

entrance exam, and

they can get in.

If they get accepted, ano na?

Siguro

ang

expenditures mo will be on

the

projects

and food and accommodation.

Pero kung food and

accommodation dito,

on a monthly basis, mga how much?

Yesterday, I was

roaming around.

30 pesos, you can eat

good lunch.

Baka naman lumitang, baka naman mamayat

mamayat ako dyan.

Okay na.

So you spend around 100 a day for food.

20,000 na yan.

Tapos ang lodging?

Ang lodging is around 1,000.

Per month na yan?

Yeah, bed space.

So mag-budget na tayo ng 5,000.

So mga per sem, that's about

25,000.

So 8 semesters, so ilan yun?

25, 50,

100 for 4 sems.

So 200,000 pesos.

200,000 pesos for

4 years na yan.

Ayan, ako thank you dad!

Ang dami natin ngayon.

And hopefully, we'll be able to

really promote NMSCST

sa mga Gen Z natin.

I hope you come to Tanggub City.

It is in Misamis Occidental.

And we hope that you can

come and visit us.

You can look at our

website.

Or just Google it.

NMSCST.

And mag-pop up na yan.

We have some videos for you

to get yourself oriented

of what the college can offer to you.

Ano nga yung mga courses natin?

We have

for social sciences,

we have

mathematics, we have political science,

we have English,

we have literature

for education,

elementary and high school.

Various majors.

For

IT, we have

information technology,

we have animation

and multimedia.

So we have also communication

technology,

development communication we have.

So agriculture, we have

soil science, we have agriculture,

engineering, we have

civil, electrical,

mechanical.

So we have those and we have

hospitality management and

tourism management.

And of course, if you want to take your PhD

like me,

we have new programs like

doctor of information technology,

we have doctor of research

and evaluation,

we have

doctor of education

and development

yata. Then we have

a lot of masters

program, hospitality management

masters.

So we have a lot.

So thank you, dad.

Thank you very much, Vince.

We hope that you will get a lot

and this is a very good opportunity

especially for our Gen Z viewers.
