25: Regular
Toastmaster Meeting, Room 503 (2002-03)
President GP called the meeting in order and introduced
Tony Soria (TS) as the Toastmaster of the Day. TS without
further ado selected Rosette Hizon (RH) to be the table
topic evaluator for questions 1-3 and selected Arleen Lim
(AL) as evaluator for questions 4-5 respectively. Then,
he presented Nestor Simon (NS) as the Table Topic Master.
NS asked Romar Dagani (RD) if he is willing to give his
seat in the bus during rush hour. RD conditionally
answered that if he felt that the lady deserved to take a
seat, then he would likely give his seat. AL then replied
to the second question that baring one's body in a movie
is not an art. But she added that if it is a love scene
then it needs a way of expressing it. VP-Pro Marissa
Monsanto (MM) when questioned by NS which one of the two
is applicable to the country, 1.) peace without order or
2.) order without peace. "This is a tricky
question!" noted MM. Her answer even confused the
audience. VP-Membership X Magnaye (XM) responded to the
fourth question that when a relationship is broken, she
will put herself, sharing everything want she love. XM
mentioned that she experience it before and didn't give
herself. A difficult situation was asked to TS: it is a
day of their wedding anniversary and his wife is
expecting him to come home early, then the boss is
requesting him to stay work with an emergency in the
office (even until wee hours of the morning), what shall
he do? He retorted that he would balance the situation
but he will call his wife postponing the wedding and go
first with the problem in the office.
Hector Ore (HO) icebreaker speech, "Hector in the
Limelight" talked about stages of his working
experiences, family background, and love relationship. In
his early days with AG&P, he was so envious with his
co-workers that they were able to go abroad. "Your
time will come", advised them. Then later his time
indeed arrived, he was able to explore countries like
theNetherland, Belgium, Germany, Paris, US where it is a
dream come true. He became an early riser because of his
father's wetting off his face in the early morning. He
also talked about his girlfriend Elenor. OH is well
prepared for he got only 2 AHs.
MM rolled out the contest rule in entering for
international and local speech competition. She gave some
materials and distributed flyers for Discon 2002 to be
held on April 26-28, 2002 at Dusit Hotel in Ayala Center,
Makati.
ATM Rene Aquino (ReA) went on with his educational
portion about tips on how to prefer writing our speech
that makes appealing to the audience's five senses.

remark on the objectives of the speech number 1, 5 and 8.
After telling the purpose of the Table Topic, she called
the magician Edwin Afaga (EA) to preside over the table
topic questions where the theme was about the Year of the
Horse.
EA drew some scary predictions about Year 2002 based on
Chinese calendar and asked Boy Rueras (BR) what will be
his reactions if he were the President of the Philippines
and Rene Mariano predicted that this is a bad year for
him. BR answers won him the Best Table Topic Speaker in
which he said that he will not persecute the person who
anticipated that remark to him. There were only two
questions as Mercy Manalo (MeM) who coincidently was also
born in the year of the horse proclaimed that she was not
a believer of horoscope.
VP-Pro Marissa Monsanto (MM) started her speech no.8 with
her high-tech "inspector" Gadgets

childhood now became a cutting-edge PDA and Nokia 8250,
