“Scratch does not always mean a trash. Most of the time, it is where from which springs a so called, masterpiece,” a quote from Mr. Carl Marvin Yabut, the first speaker of the first major event for the academic year 2016-2017 conducted by the PUP Junior Marketing Executives, the General Assembly entitled: “Flash-Forward: Accelerating the Way towards Breakthrough Excellence” last June 28, 2016 at the PUP Bulwagang Balagtas which aims to gather all the Marketing Management students and to show the essence of marketing and the opportunities they can attain.
Excitement and enthusiasm was present in the students’ faces starting from the registration of the event. Despite the hot weather and long queue, they were eager to come inside the venue to witness the event. Before the start of the event, talented Marketing Management students entertained the crowd that further boosted their energy and enthusiasm for the event.
The program started of with a Doxology, followed by the Philippine National Anthem and PUP Hymn led by the PUP Bagong Himig Serenata.
