As a leader, I can find resources for everything needed to complete the project that the team I’m with is working on. I am tenacious – whatever decision and ideas I have in mind, I always exercise into actions. I never give easily when met with obstacles. I am highly efficient – I always weigh each pros and cons, makes energy and cost effective action plans, and push through execution without sacrificing the quality of results. These are, in my opinion, the traits that others saw in me which made them decide on choosing me to lead them on each task/project.
What criteria will you use in selecting/choosing your TEAM.
Given that I am to lead a team for a project, I will certainly choose the best of the best to become part of my team. I want someone who is resourceful – someone who can help me find the things required to complete a task. They might need to be tech savvy in order to do that. I also value someone who is punctual – someone who has the sense of urgency to complete tasks way before the set deadline. I also need someone who has a strong sense of purpose and determination, someone who will not give up easily and will work with me in resolving any arising issues or problems. To summarize, my criteria in selecting team members are resourcefulness (tech savvy), punctuality, strong sense of purpose and determination.

NOVEMBER 5,2021
The festivals I have chosen that I will promote are the first Cebu’s Sinulog Festival second Ilo Ilo’s Dinagyang Festival and the last one is Bacolod’s Masskara Festival. I chose these three because they are the favorites and I want to go to the festival. The first is Cebu many times who want to go to Cebu because of the Festival they celebrate here such as the Ilo ilo and Bacolod Masskara festivals. I would like to introduce to the whole world what each festival I have chosen has to say so that foreigners can get to know it better and more foreigners and they can experience how much fun it is every time the Festival comes.
These are the Top 3 Festivals that I want to Introduce Abroad, Masskara Festival in Bacolod, because of its Colorful and Happy vibe that can Attract People and Kids Abroad. It is also a reminder that Our Smile and Laughter is the Best medicine we can apply in ourselves. Another festival is Kalibo’s Ati-Atihan, this Festival is the mother of all the festivals here in the Philippines. Ati-Atihan is a Filipinos pride and Needs to be Promoted Abroad. Ati-Atihan festival is a fun festival that every Tourist will get to Enjoy, this includes Painting, Street Dancing, and You can even join them dancing in streets. The last Festival is the Pahiyas Festival in Quezon. This Festival introduce the whole Filipinos. It does not only Celebrates Patron Saint, San Isidro de Labrador but also Celebrating Philippines agricultural Products like Rice, Fruits, and Vegetables, and Even Carabaos. This Festival shows Filipino Culture to every Tourist.
A Leader should be the one who is flexible and can handle His/Her Team members. As a Leader I should be the one who shows leadership and Controls My Men. A good leader must have the Authority, Discipline, and Passion to lead a Team. As a leader it is not only commanding your members, but also have the Ears to listen on his/her Members a Leader who knows their Responsibilities.
In choosing My Team members, I should Chose those Persons that I know, that I can trust, and has the Knowledge in dealing other People related to the task that will be doing. A Member who listens to their Leader and knows their Task.
First i choose Cebu’s Sinulog festival for the religious and historical background, second is Davao’s Kadayawan festival and third is Baguio’s Panagbenga festival because that city is one of ky favorite go to places and i have been there plenty of times. I have been to plenty of festivals here and abroad and i can say that local festivals are very diverse in its purpose, be it religion, thanksgiving, celebration of wealth and bountiful harvest or a tribute to one of the best products of a given city. We have it all here in the Philippines and they are worth promoting to a much larger scale than what we usually see from previous festivals. If i would be a leader to promote any given local festival i would try and make it that it can compete on an international level as to further stimulate tourism and attract much more new tourists to our country.
A. I choose Panagbenga festival because of it’s theme, the flowers. I always love to be in a place full of flowers. For me it symbolizes peace and love of nature. The festival must be very vibrant because of the lots of flowers surrounding the area and it’s fragrance. I also love Maskara festival because of it’s uniqueness in terms of smiling faces painted in every mask that the performers are wearing. The dances and the music on streets that make the watchers, be it locals or tourists enjoy the feast in Bacolod city. Sinulog festival is also one of the must see festival of the country. Cebu is getting it’s task done by putting lots of effort in a very successful yearly celebration of Sto. Niño. I would probably recommend these three festivals to all tourist who would want to travel here in the Philippines.

First I would choose Panagbenga festival, cause its colorful and I think every child in abroad will love it. Then I would choose Moriones festival, cause it reminds us the life of jesus during his time of sacrificing. And last is Ati-atihan festival, cause the paint of the dancers is black and its enjoyable and creative. And it’s very old festival of the philippines. And I think the Filipino abroad will miss this festivals.
