SERVICE
(Excerpt From APO Pledge Manual 2013-2014)
Our chapter service program provides
many opportunities for the development of social awareness, friendships and leadership skills. Participation in
our service program helps make Alpha Phi Omega the unique fraternal organization that it is. The Fraternity
has established four fields of service in which chapters should be involved.
These are:
• SERVICE
TO THE CAMPUS: Each chapter should carry out projects
that benefit the campus and its students.
• SERVICE
TO THE COMMUNITY: Chapters should include projects, which
benefit the community and its residents. Service to youth — especially the
scouting movements — is a special area of consideration.
• SERVICE
TO THE NATION: Each chapter should develop projects
that have an impact beyond the campus and community.
•
SERVICE TO THE FRATERNITY: Service projects that directly benefit the members of the
chapter should be included. Through leadership workshops, conferences,
fellowship events, and academic support groups, brothers can challenge and help
each other. As a new brother, you have a responsibility to contribute ideas,
interest and desire to the planning of the service program. “We’ve always done
it that way” is not a reason to continue or drop a program or to refuse to add
innovative projects. The needs of your chapter and its members and of your
campus and the surrounding community are constantly changing. The chapter
program must reflect these changes. Balance is the key to any great chapter
service program. While service projects can provide both leadership development
and fellowship opportunities, the benefits vary with the size and duration of
the project.

As
you develop a service program, there are a variety of factors to consider:
LARGE
OR SMALL? Large projects, involving most of the chapter, provide a greater opportunity for your members
to work closely with each other. They may also present a chance to involve members
from other chapters or other organizations. Several small projects will increase
the chapter’s diversity and meet the interests of a greater number of your
brothers.
TRADITIONAL
OR NEW? Traditional
(repeated annually, quarterly, etc.) service projects give a chapter a sense of
continuity and history. They must be evaluated periodically to determine if
they still meet a real need. New projects often have a sense of challenge and
excitement, which strengthens the chapter’s morale.
“PEOPLE” OR “TASK-ORIENTED”?
Projects
involving direct contact with people (visiting patients in a convalescent
hospital or assisting a Girl Scout Troop) have a strong appeal to some members.
Others are more interested in activities, which have more tangible results, such
as creating a nature trail in a national park or constructing equipment for a community
playground.
CHAPTER
INITIATED OR ASSISTED? Service
projects suggested, planned or carried out by chapter members
provide a variety of leadership opportunities and
a way of using the individual talents and resources of
the brothers. Assisting the projects planned by other groups
is usually less challenging but does promote APO and
enhance opportunities for cooperation. In addition to the above, APO
encourages every
chapter to participate in several
national activities, which
are designed to enhance our impact on
the nation. Each national convention selects a program of emphasis for National
Service Week, which focuses service activities on a particular area.
The
2012 National Convention chose “APO Shows Respect to All” as the 2013-14 program
of
emphasis. Each chapter’s annual program should include
at least one project focused in this area.
The
Fraternity has designated the first week of November as “NATIONAL SERVICE WEEK”
to unify
chapters with a national theme and to inspire expansion
of chapter service programs. During this week
every chapter is encouraged to carry out a new,
high profile service project related to the program
of emphasis by involving other chapters and
the community. The 2012 National Convention specified, “Respect for Self ”
during November 3-9, 2013 and “Respect
for Others” during November 2-8, 2014. Each
year the Fraternity dedicates the fall pledge
class on a national level. In conjunction with
this dedication, the fall pledge class of every chapter
is asked to conduct a service project in an area
selected by the
Fall Pledge Class
Namesake Honoree.
In addition,
many chapters
select a
honoree for their
spring pledge
class who also
completes a project
in an area selected
by the local
honoree.
In developing and executing a chapter
service program,
both the brothers and those being served should benefit.
Brothers should feel good about the quality of
volunteer work they have done. They should feel challenged
and should have the opportunity to learn new skills
and strengthen friendships. There
will be many opportunities to exchange service project ideas at sectional and regional
conferences and National Conventions, in various Fraternity publications, and
through various websites.

Alpha Phi Omega As "A Friend"
 |
| Image Taken: APO-USA Pledge Manual |
(Excerpt from APO Pledge Manual 2013-2014)
Alpha Phi Omega seeks
to develop friendship. What do we mean by this? It is not possible to establish
a meaningful
relationship with the thousands of brothers across the nation or even with
every brother in a single chapter. We believe it is possible, however, for all
of our members to develop a sense of brotherhood. Shared experiences and an
understanding of fraternal history and goals provide a basis for our
brotherhood. Brotherhood is the
spirit of friendship. It implies respect, honesty and dependability. It means that we overlook
differences and emphasize similarities as we join together in unselfish service.
It means listening to brothers whose views on issues might differ from our own.
It means working closely with people whom under other circumstances we might
not choose as our friends.
Being a friend is not
easy. It takes work. Every day we must challenge ourselves to be a better
friend and to be more understanding, compassionate, welcoming and trusting. A
chapter fellowship program provides opportunities for social interaction among
all brothers.
The goal is to strengthen the chapter by bringing all of the members closer
together. Fellowship activities range from structured events, such as formals
and dinners, to informal gatherings after a service project. Each chapter has
developed its own way of reaching our common goal: making friends through
fellowship in the spirit of brotherhood. A successful fellowship program is
essential to keep brothers actively involved in APO. That success starts with
each of us, for the surest way to have a friend is to
be
a friend.

CHAPTER'S HISTORY
“Once there was a man who went to sow grain. As he scattered the seeds, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. Some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bear fruit a hundredfold.”
CHAPTER’S HISTORY
It was 2001, the first semester of the school year when the interest in founding a chapter of Alpha Phi Omega at Manila Law College started. It was through the efforts of Brother SPO1 Rommel Ybanez from the Divine World University (Alpha Omicron) and Brother Elwin John Verzosa from the Lyceum of the Philippines, Intramuros (Alpha Theta) both in their first year as law student in Manila Law College made this interest came into reality. The idea was formally conceptualized at the 3rd Floor-College of Law, PCCR Building. Like sower in the “Parable of the Sower” and guided by the principle of scouting movement, the two able brothers had persuaded the seven (7) law students and introduced to them the principle, objective, vision and mission of the Organization.
With the help and support of Brothers Antonio Luis Paredes from the Arellano University College of Law (Iota-Psi), Florencio Remodaro and Ronaldo Sambitan both from University of Santo Tomas (Pi), Atty. Elmer Rillo, State Prosecutor III ( Department of Justice), Aquino Adarlo, Family Clinic College (Lambda Zeta) and Rodrigo Mapoy, National Bureau of Investigation, orientation of the seven applicants was undertaken at Patio de Conchita, Intramuros Manila. The Orientation Program resulted an astonishing response from the students and made the seven qualified men signed their applications being the first batch to undergo pledgeship. The pledge class was undertaken during the second semester of school year 2001 and 2002. Brothers from different chapters particularly Far Eastern University (Alpha), University of Santo Tomas (Pi),
Arellano University College of Law (Iota-Psi), University of the Philippines Baguio (Gamma-Phi) and others attended the pledgeship program.
After rigid training, indoctrination, services of the applicants and having survived to the traditional rituals they were formally accepted as full-blooded members of the Fraternity on March 12, 2002 and became the first residents of the Chapter.
By spreading the three cardinal principles of the Fraternity, the residents as potent seeds continue to bloom and have made the qualified three (3) men and one (1) lady become part of the organization. Following the tradition of the Fraternity, the four applicants formally accepted to undertake their pledge class as second batch. They were called the “FOURTUNATES”. After having fulfilled the traditional requirements, the four applicants were formally accepted on October 12, 2002. Today Alpha Phi Omega at Manila Law College continue to grow in population and marching forward through the guidance of the three cardinal principles of the organization, i.e.: promoting LEADERSHIP, FRIENDSHIP and SERVICE.

MANILA LAW COLLEGE FOUNDATION
MANILA LAW COLLEGE FOUNDATION
Formerly Escuela de Derecho de Manila
Founded in 1899, the period of First Philippine Republic, when ESCUELA DE DERECHO DE MANILA, now known as THE MANILA LAW COLLEGE FOUNDATION was officially created.
It was founded by Don Felipe G. Calderon[1], the "Father of the Malolos Constitution," following constitutional mandate for Filipinos to establish institutions of learning for the first Philippine Republic[2], thereby becoming the FIRST and OLDEST LAW SCHOOL founded by Filipino.
The first President and Dean of the Escuela de Derecho de Manila was Don Felipe G. Calderon himself. Through the years, he was succeeded by leaders in the bar and the bench like Teodoro M. Kalaw who became president of the University of the Philippines; Don Quintin Paredes who became Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives and Secretary of Justice; Chief Justice Jose Abad Santos who became a national hero for his defiance of Japanese sovereignty which cost him his life; Senator Emiliano Tria Tirona; Supreme Court Justice Felix Angelo Bautista, Judge Manuel Camus; Dr. Perfecto Laguio, who became Undersecretary of Commerce; Supreme Court Justice Edgardo Paras; Dr. Enrique C. Galang and a former Colonel in the Armed Forces of the Philippines; Court of Appeals Justice Porfirio Sison; Acting Dean Florante Seril served as the transition head until the appointment of Ambassador Benjamin B. Domingo, Ph.D, a former Undersecretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs current Dean of the Manila Law College Foundation.
In keeping with the transition from Spanish to the American system of education, Supreme Court Justice Felix Angelo Bautista changed its name to Manila Law College in 1930. In 1979 the Manila Law College was converted into a foundation to enhance its organization structure to bridge the stage as the "oldest Filipino law school" to the "best Filipino law school."
World War II devastated Manila and Manila Law College was not spared of the destruction. Dr. Enrique C. Galang and former Colonel in the Armed Forces of the Philippines, took up the challenge to rehabilitate the College and served as its Dean until 1990. From that year to 2003, Court of Appeals Justice Porfirio Sison managed the affairs of the law school.
Over the hundred years of existence, the Escuela de Derecho de Manila, now Manila Law College has contributed and produced a significant number of bar topnotchers and passers and further became the leading legal practitioners, members of the Judiciary, Executive and Legislative branch of the Government as well as in the private sector. Chief Justice Manuel V. Moran[3] leads the distinguished alumni roster of the Institution. Following are some of Our Alumni in the Supreme Court: Justice Manuel Briones, Justice Norberto Romualdez, Justice Anacledo Diaz, Justice Antonio Horeilleno, Justice Luis P. Torres and Justice Edgardo Paras.
To name a few of those who served in the Cabinet: Pedro Magsalin; Jose Escaler, Oscar Castelo and Marcelo Balatbat. Bureau heads and directors included: Teofisto Guingona, Sr., Teodoro Kalaw, Enrique Altavas and Enrico Palomar.
Members of the Philippine Legislative to name a few were: Adolfo Brilliantes [4] who rank first in 1920 bar examination, Francisco Zulueta, Jose A. Clarin, Jose O. Vera, Jose P.Laurel, Emiliano Trias Tirona, and Jose Imperial. Elected to the House of Representatives were Leonardo Festin, Mauro Versosa, Fernando Veloso, Marcelino Veloso, Pablo Ocampo, Jose Rono and others.
In the judiciary, apart from the Supreme Court, the following were appointed judges in the Regional Trial Courts or the former Courts of First Instance: Agapito Cruz, Leonardo Cruz, and David Nitafan and others.
In the private sector, Rafael Corpus, Padro J. Ocampo, Angel de la Paz, Homero de los Reyes, Alfonso Encarnacion, Jose Gatchalian, Benjamin Bautista, Romeo R. Echauz among others and in the academe Professors Manuel Gatcho, Ramil Gabao, Victor Tulalian, Cesar Calubag and Nicolas Lapuz and the rest mostly in legal practice.
Following the legacy of Escuela de Derecho de Manila the forerunner Manila Law College continue to produce bar-passers and legal practitioners keeping it goals and mission to be the best Filipino Law school in the country.
Manila Law College has the distinction of being the first and oldest Filipino law school in the Philippines. In commemoration of its 100 years foundation, Presidential Proclamation No. 127 is issued on June 28, 1999.
