Guys, we have some compromises in the proposal. 

I know you all heard about what happened when Majoy and Dein asked for approval. 

The problem is yung OIC ni Mr. Balagtas, hindi pumayag kasi wala daw funds for our benchmarking. 

Yesterday, I had a meeting with Miles. 

We're planning to collaborate on this so they can help us shoulder the expenses.

laurie (man-ed) 

what's the catch?

markus (head cartoonist)

ang nega naman. i think support lang ako. magandang idea yung collaboration.

dein (assoc)

Laurie's right. Gusto nilang editorial board lang yung attend. Kuya Miles proposed they will shoulder 70% of the fund but they only gave us eight slots for the benchmarking.

tine (literary ed)

Tapos on their side? Lahat aattend?

dale (news ed)

Parang ang unfair? 

naimh (EIC)

Unfair talaga. But, we have to decide now. 

And may isa pa tayong dilenma. 

The date they are proposing is Feb 13-15. 

jann (sports ed)

owshiiii. kasabay ng SCUAA. auto pass na ba ako?

crystal (senior photojourn)

Hala hindi kami kasama?

naimh (EIC)

Here's the thing. 

You guys can choose kung anong sasamahan nyo but we have to do it on balance. 

Apat sa benchmarking at apat sa SCUAA. 

The other four slots will be given to the aspiring editorial board para they can be trained and aware na sila when we step down on our post. 

crystal (senior photojourn)

SCUAA ako.

jann (sports ed)

Same here. 

tine (literary ed)

Benchmarking po ako sasama. 

laurie (man-ed)

I think mas kailangan ako sa SCUAA since you're participating in benchmarking, right? @naimh

naimh (EIC)

I'll attend only on the first two days. 

I also have to go in the SCUAA. 

Dein will be spending the three days on benchmarking.

dein (assoc)

ay! desisyon!

naimh (EIC)

hahaha. wala tayong choice. kailangan maghiwa-hiwalay. 

markus (head cartoonist)

Then sa SCUAA na rin po ako. 

dale (news ed)

That left me the last spot for benchmarking then. 

naimh (EIC)

Okay, this is settled. 

Tomorrow, daan kayo sa office. 

@Laurie please print the waiver for both events. 

Prep na tayo. I'll say yes na sa proposal.

Any more clarification?

marcus (head cartoonist. 

wala na. tomorrow na lang.

tine (literary ed)

see you tom, peeps!

naimh (EIC)

okiii, goodnyt nytt

Dear Miles,

I hope this email doesn't find you well. After reviewing your suggestion for the collaboration on the benchmarking I proposed, I'm looking forward to working together to create something meaningful and impactful. Let's move ahead on the timeline!

As discussed, attached to this email is the Letter of Collaboration outlining the proposed activities and objectives for our partnership. Please review it at your earliest convenience (pero gawin mo na ASAP), and let me know if there are any adjustments (sana naman wala na, diba?) or additions you'd like to suggest.

Looking forward to working together on this project 🙄

Best regards,
Naimh
Editor-in-Chief, The Catalyst
