It’s that time of the year again! Recweek has passed and CompSAt opens its arms to more family members. In the last release, we asked some lucky freshmen why they joined CompSAt. Now, we ask the same questions, but this time to new members who are not majoring in Computer Science. What was the allure that made them join an organization that doesn’t directly affect their career path? Was it our sexy Blastoise mascot parading around Recweek grounds? Read and find out!

Aaron Casurao, 4 BS MIS:

“CompSAt upholds the ideals of Computer Science.”

Justin Regino, 3 AB MEC:

“Toplis.” (For more information on who this Toplis is, follow the link:http://wildcard.compsat.org/?p=5229)

Life Christian Lofranco, 2 BS LfSci:

“I joined CompSAt because somewhere in the near future, I am going to shift to BS CS. So now, I thought it is for the best if I attend some of the activities of my soon-to-be home-org. =))”

Pei Pica, 3 AB COM:

“I joined because I handled a CS block in this year’s OrSem and I really enjoyed their company. Also, Bea Danseco and Jansen Ignacio were my SecMobs and they were fuuuun HAHA! Lastly, SOBRANG GALING NG PROMOS NIYO. IDOL. =)) There there! ”

Nicole Gruta, 5 AB EU:

“Because of my friend and because I was curious of how CompSAt is like since it’s quite different from the orgs I usually join… ”

Micheal Abraham Sablay, 3 BS CH-MSE:

“Oh. I like computers and programming and my friend wanted me to join. :)” (Bagani Sularte)

Aika Rey, 3 AB-MA POS:

“Hi! I joined CompSAt even though I’m a PolSci major because of the CompSAt promotions I’ve been seeing online. I love designing kasi and I think it would help me best if I join an org that would cater to my passion. :> (it was the kinetic typography I saw online talaga that made me join CompSAt hahaha)”

Milo Mendoza, 2 BS COMTECH:

“Well, I like computers and video games. =)))”

Jerick Mangao, 2 AB PSY:

“I joined because I’m shifting into CS by the end of the sem so I wanted to join my would-be home org. :))”

Paulo Pascua, 2 BS CH:

“I will be shifting to CS next sem, so it will be my new home org in a few months.”

VJ Serag, 2 BS COMTECH:

“[Because] IT literacy can also be used on other fields too and joining CompSAt will help people appreciate that. :)”

Daryll Dawn Villaos, 5 BS CoE:

“My course is Computer Engineering, so it’s somewhat related to CS din naman.  Aaand I heard that CompSAt is a lot of fun and pretty tight. Nakikita ko kayo lagi sa org room natin. :)”

Mico Mallilin, 2 BS BIO:

“I am interested to learn more about information and technology and meet new friends who are inclined in this and I want to play dota in your org room hahahaha :)) joke lang”

Gremyco Estoista, 2 BS APS-MSE:

“I like computers… especially the hardware and I think this org may help me in my upcoming subjects such as CE 21. I am also planning on shifting to BS APS ACS… soo maybe the org would be able to help me.”

Jorg Roa, 4 BFA ID:

“I’ve always been interested in programming (I’m actually taking a CS class as an elective right now), and I’d like to learn more about it, especially since it still sort of helps me with regards to my course (Information Design). :)”

Rainier David, 1 AB EC:

“Well, I joined your organization because in today’s society. Computer Science and technology is important for Economics (my course). CS affects today’s economic trends and I would want to learn more about CS. :)”

Wok Alpajaro, 4 BFA ID:

“I have a lot of friends (Chelsea Mazano, Mark Adecimo, Justin Lim)” there kasi hahaha, and my course is ID so it kinda has something to with technology na rin. Also the promos were nice! Haha

Baron Clyde Calgo, 1 BS APS-ACS:

“I like programming.”

Justine Matias , 1 BS ME:

“I’m curious about the different IT-related projects that CompSAt runs since my home org doesn’t have a different focus. Hopefully, they’ll help broaden up my horizon!”

Jenaro Matias, 2 BS MIS:

“I’m very interested in CompSAt’s R&D department, particularly the development work that they do.”

John Aspen Catingub, 3 BS MIS:

“I want to hone my skills as a programmer and developer and to meet new people. [I look forward to] tutorial programs, video game competitions, and hobbies.”

John Kelly Mercado, 3 BS PS:

“[It] [s]eems fun. [I’m] gonna learn more about programming”

Sammy Ong , 5 BS APS-ACS:

“Tutorials for CS (Java, other languages) and opportunities for meeting new people.”

Mari Angelo De Jesus,  1 AB COM:

“[I] [d]idn’t get into CS so this is as close as it gets.”

Well, there you have it. We have a wide array of reasons for why non-CS majors want to join this geeky bunch of nerds, from hatak to learning IT to socio-political concerns. We all hope we can meet your expectations, but for now, welcome to the CompSAt family!
