Blogging as Alternative Class Program

In my college days back in Ateneo de Manila, we had an ACP held every year. The ACP or Alternative Class Program exposes the students to subjects beyond the normal college courses. It’s a whole week event where students sign up for tours, workshops, and seminars and get attendance credits for it in lieu of regular classes. I remember signing up for a tour on a Coca-cola bottling plant and another one at the Clark Expo (Expo Pilipino then) while others do spirit questing and trekking.

About a month back, Chris mentioned that he’s helping organize a similar alternative classes at Pisay (Philippine Science High School) and invited me to do the session on blogging.

I agreed then though made some reservations because I still don’t know the final date of my Taiwan trip. Unfortunately, it will be on the 7th and by that time I will still be out of the country. I would have loved to do this alternative class and thought it would also be nice to visit the campus that I have been wanting to attend back in my high school days (flunked the Math part on the 2nd entrance test).

So now, the least I could do to help is find me a replacement speaker.
