I’m in awe whenever she sings in front of the crowd. It’s as if she owns the stage. She radiates confidence whenever she performs. You can see the passion burning in her eyes when she’s singing or dancing or both. Give her a note, a high note and she can rock it. Well, I’m really a fan of anyone who can sing and dance at the same time, and Jenny Cabanlit Adriatico, our current Vice President for Membership is a one blessed woman in that matter.

We all know the side of her as a performer, now let’s have a look on the other side of her personality.

I asked her to describe herself (Physical, attitude, characteristics, etc)

Judge me na lang. Hahaha ang lakas makaslambook naman neto. Hehe hmm, wag na physically, baka madaming kumontra. Syempre pag mga kakilala ko tinanong, “yamot” agad sasabihin nila. Pero dahil nga ako naman yung sasagot, syempre mabait, masayahin pero minsan emo, makulit, maingay pero may times na tahimik, mapanakit, friendly, perfectionist, tamad. Yung iba contradicting kasi depende sa mood. Saka buti na lang pala may etceterang nakalagay dito,kasi  dito siguro papasok yung description niya saken na “his EVERYTHING”. (haha epal lang to, pambawi)

How do you manage to be a leader and at the same time a student?

Syempre kelangan balance balance din ng time. Di ako yung gc-type ng student na gumagawa pa ng time table para lang magawa lahat ng dapat gawin. Tinatandaan ko lang yung mga trabaho ko pati deadlines. Tapos dapat isa-isahin mo lang para may quality pa rin yung gawa mo. Kung sasabay-sabayin mo kasi gagawin, baka puchu na nga, stressed ka pa. Pero as much as possible, dapat magawa lahat kahit paisa-isa lang at wala ring mapabayaan. Kung meron man, mini-make sure ko naman na sobrang minimal lang yung magiging effect nun.

Event(s) that define your leadership

Iba-iba naman kasi yung tingin ng tao sa leadership eh. Pero siguro, yun yung mga times na nagagawa ko ding sundin yung ibang tao. Kasi nga diba, “a good leader is a good follower”. Haha basic.

Achievement(s) as a student

Dami na! Naging JPIAN idol na ko nung first year, most active nung second year, naging part ng JPIA EOs last year as chairman for non-acads, tapos ngayon VP Mem naman.  Ah nakasali na din pala ako sa walang kakupas-kupas na dance festival na laging on-the-spot pinapractice pero di nawawala sa place. Sobrang achievement yun. Agree naman mga festival dancers diyan diba? Haha puro non-acads noh? Wag niyo na itanong yung sa acads ha para bati tayo. Hahaha

Dreams and Goals in life

Syempre yung madagdagan ng comma at three letters (CPA) yung name ko. Sino bang ayaw nun? And yung matupad yung plano ko after 5 years. (secret na to)

Talents, Hobbies

Talents? Haha madami talaga. Nung LTS nga namin nung third year kame, may EO na nagsulat sa papel ko na first impression niya sakin ay “TALENTED” eh. Take note, FIRST IMPRESSION niya yun ha. Madami naman ako kayang gawin eh. Feeling ko nga bahay ko na yung stage kapag CAE day at JPIA day eh. Total performer kumbaga. (buhat bangko? Haha) Meron din naman akong di kayang gawin noh, yun yung mga kain bubog, tulay alambre. Haha kung hobbies naman, wala masyado. Magsudoku, minesweeper, kumain, tumulala


The interview may be quite short, but personally, I picture out the different sides of her personality. Her characteristics are a little bit contradicting at times. She’s may be a jolly or a melodramatic person, depending on the mood or aura she feels. And above all, she is who she is. Every person is a unique individual starting from the DNA that is in our every cell. Her traits, experiences, philosophies in life and a lot more depict her individuality.
