As a Junior Project Manager under the E-Commerce department, other than my responsibilities regarding overseeing the internal processes within E-Commerce, I also had to create different collaterals. I have also helped in creating different designs needed by other departments such as the HR, Marketing, and Events & Promotions.
Sikháy: A Resource-Management Game Based on the Minimum Wage of Filipino Workers
May 2018 - May 2019
Anna Lagdan, Aina Ner, and I made a game entitled Sikháy and it aims to make the players aware of the realities and struggles that minimum wage earners are facing. The players can choose one of three jobs namely security guard, waiter, and factory worker. Within 15 days in the game, the player must manage their budget and play the minigame that corresponds with the job they have chosen in order to sustain their family of five. The player has to make decisions on the family's expenses like meals, transportation, and allowance for the children. These decisions affect each family member's health, which the player has to be mindful of because if anyone's health goes down too much, they die and the player automatically loses the game. There are also other options in the game that help the player get more money if they really need it like taking loans, making your children work, stealing, and gambling. Random events like natural calamities and a family member falling ill can also happen, which force the player to spend their money. To win the game, the player must make sacrifices and compromises to show that minimum wage is not a sufficient amount to sustain a family.
ASLA 17 Congress Branding
November 2018 - January 2019
The Ateneo Student Leaders Assembly or ASLA is an annual 5-day leadership congress. Now on its 17th run, the program continues to create ripples of change by inviting student leaders from all Ateneo universities across the country to foster a community of ASLAns serving across different sectors of society.
As one of the Communications Leads during the 17th Congress, I was assigned to create the branding of the congress itself. The theme, "Kilalanin ang Kinabukasan" reflects the overaching goal for the batch. When the theme was formulated, I immediately thought of telescopes and looking at the sky to foresee one's future. It can also be noticed how in most of the materials, it has a nature-feel to it—reflecting the venue of the event, Mount Purro.
