The Department of Financial Management, led by JFINEX-PUP, held its General Assembly on December 15, 2024, with the theme “Cloudscapes: Escaping Numbers, Embracing Stars.” The event brought the Ka-Finance community together through creativity, collaboration, and vibrant activities, inspiring them to soar beyond limits.
Amidst busy schedules and the buzzing energy brought by the upcoming holidays, the Department of Financial Management led by the JFINEX-PUP held its General Assembly at Claro M. Recto Hall last December 15, 2024—fortifying the spirit and light of our fellow Ka Finance through a test of creativity and engagement on various activities.
This year’s General Assembly introduced what lies beyond and captured the department with the event’s theme “Cloudscapes: Escaping Numbers, Embracing Stars”. Soaring above the cosmos, the event featured thrilling collaborations, life-changing lessons, electrifying beats, and vibrant feats.
Illuminating the skies, the assembly was brightened up by hosts Faith Kaira and Precious Jane. Introducing the annual year-end assembly, the pinnacle of the Department of Financial Management, Dr. Ria S. Fajilago kicked off the program with an inspiring opening remark; inspiring the crowd to embrace differences as the stars, learn from one another, and build a bright future. Fired up, the venue was filled with diverting noises and entertaining chaos as each team presented their individual cheers.
Ascending to witness the twilights, Ms. Cherry Lyn Refuncion, a Licensed Professional Teacher and a Licensed Financial Consultant started off the discussion with an activity, inviting the audience to raise their hands. Each individual elevated their arms at their preferred height, and this became the foundation of her lesson. Evaluating the activity, she explained that raising the hand represents self-expression. “An individual can give the right amount, but one can still raise the bar higher” she pointed. Encapsulating her statement, she reprised that knowing our uniqueness adds up to self-expression—as it aligns our vision towards our passion. Reaching the climax, a quote was flashed saying, “Only in a state of discomfort, you can continue to grow” where it topped the discussion. Outside of our comfort zone, we can fail; but failure is not a setback, it’s an opportunity to grow. Once we figured everything out, we possess the strength that shields us from the fear of failing.
Hardwork is indeed filled with rejections, but our decisions play a vital role in shaping the foundation of how we live, in view of the fact that what the mind conceives, the body will achieve—manifesting the topic of Ms. Refuncion’s uplifting asset: ‘The Power of Growth Mindset’.
Hyping up the crowd louder, the entire JFINEX-PUP Officers prepared a performance that revved up the program; filling the hall with groovy and cool moves in harmony with the holiday vibes. Right after, the marketing segment introduced by the Louise Duo captivated the audience through the KASKASwerte segment. Stellar renditions performed live by JFINEX PUP Elite Singers and the guest performers, The Frickpomps and Elements the GGWEEE enthralled the audience in their dynamic songs and melodic compositions.
