A NEW ERA : Focus Bulacan 2019 Officers

1/29/2019

As Focus Bulacan starts its sixth year of existence and its membership roll reaches a hundred, the club also embarks on a transition of sorts. A new era has dawned with founding officers slowly but surely passing the torch to a fresh batch of leaders. Last year's Competition Officer and Focus Bulacan co-founder Jer Sandel has relinquished his leadership duties altogether starting 2019, preferring to focus on content creation for the club's social media accounts. Erstwhile Logistics Officer Amen Alcoriza also has taken a break for personal reasons.

In their place are the very capable tandem of Jing Calonge and Francesca Bengco who will handle Competition and Membership, respectively. Both are immersed in their careers (Jing is an environmental scientist while Francesca is a multimedia artist and a professional photographer on her own) but have courageously accepted the challenge of helping lead Focus Bulacan. Their willingness and perspective are very welcome boosts to the team of officers. Of course, there to guide them are the returning officers who have pledged to stay on to steer the ship, so to speak.

The success of Focus Bulacan is contingent on the efforts of the whole club - the initiatives and progressive planning of the officers, plus the active reaction of members. The officers need the members' participation while the members need the officers' direction. It's a synergy that Focus Bulacan has fortunately achieved in its start-up years, and one that the new era of officers are determined to sustain... and even surpass.

"Focus Bulacan has a one-of-a-kind camaraderie. This group gives its members the best of both worlds - you will not only learn photography, but also how to really enjoy its art, and it's where your mentors also become your greatest friends. It's where I gained the confidence to advance my career as a photographer, and I couldn't be happier and more excited for being blessed with a new role. I look forward to being one of the team's officers!" - Francesca Bengco

The Finance Officer safeguards and oversees the club’s financial resources, with the power to collect membership dues (in tandem with the Membership Committee), and to execute purchases and payments deemed in accordance with the club’s approved activities.

Jing Calonge
"The biggest challenge of being Competition Officer is ensuring a fair and unbiased competition.  I will do my best to maintain the trust that the group has given me. To everyone joining the contests, let’s not forget that the whole point in competing is to do your best and have fun." - Jing Calonge
