As of August, the minimum amount is one thousand (Php1,000). The exemption from this approved motion is sickness that is duly certified by a medical doctor.

NEW BUSINESS:

(Note: A recess was declared when lunch was served by the Sameon Family. Brother Eli Tangunan led the prayer for the food. Meeting was resumed at 1:00PM).

2. Brainstorming about the PBC we want

a) It was suggested that the campus be improved for the full operation of PBC, and a moratorium on renting of room be made except for married students who opt to stay on campus.

b) Suggested clearance of units be done by stages – no new tenants be accepted, current tenants should not be renewed after the termination of current contracts.

c) There should be curriculum development/improvement that will include ideas like the apprenticeship in the third year and fourth year with one half support from PBC funds and the other half from the congregation where the apprentice serves.

d) Brother Edwin Valencia informed the body that brother Erasto Fuentes Jr. and brother Salvador Cariaga can help increase the resources of PBC by making PBC a Christian College.

e) Brother Jun Patricio made a motion that was duly seconded that brethren Zambrano and Valencia being Business Managers, make a blueprint for the PBC we want and present this blueprint to the Elders of the Baguio Church of Christ. This motion was approved.

3. Because of the Philippine Mission Forum to be held in Tagbilaran City, Bohol in the last week of September that would overlap with the PBCAA Board of Trustees regular meeting and in view of the forth coming workshop of a “Christian College Group” in October, the next PBC Board of Trustees meeting will be hosted by brother Edwin Valencia on October 28, 2005.
