Name: Jaime Ysabel Alegre

Role: President at UP Advertising Core

Describe your role: As president of a premier student-run, non-profit organization, and advertising agency in UP Diliman, my role is to oversee the skill development of our members and the brand-building efforts of the organization. My focus includes succession planning, leadership development, and providing training and mentorship to 27 project and department leaders. Additionally, I led the launch of our year-long organizational direction, laying the groundwork for 17 cross-functional projects and teams, including client-based teams and student-oriented projects. I have also streamlined organizational systems, improving documentation, project management, performance evaluation, data analysis, and reporting processes.

Best event you ever went to and why?
The best event I have ever gone to this year is AdCore's Winner's Gala: Culminating Night! It was just nice to see everyone so excited and glammed up for the event. It is one of the rare occasions where we could mingle with each other outside of work.

Any upcoming events you're excited for and why?
Super excited for AdCore's upcoming events with HelixPay! The Winner's Gala's registration and flow was so seamless I just had to show the organizers my QR code and I am already in the venue!

What's a valuable tip you have for fellow events community leaders/organizers?
Trust HelixPay with your event registration needs!

It is always important to have everything prepared beforehand, including contingencies!

BIG BRAIN MOMENT

Interesting facts & trivia from the Philippines culture & events community

Trivia Question

Answer: Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP)

Interesting Culture Fact!

The high-calcium content of the salt curdled the soup, producing a soft, silky substance. Originally with medicinal properties, Filipinos adapted it by adding arnibal (sweetener) and sago (tapioca pearls). Taho became a favorite breakfast food for many Filipinos and is often sold by street vendors in the morning.
