ORAS

We will never really know the importance of time until we realize that it is fleeting and it takes its toll in every aspect of our life. We often say that we only live once so we got to live our life to the fullest. But are we really living life at its fullest? Or are we just wasting it on worldly things that hinders us to grow and compromises our future? What does it really mean to live a life at its fullest? We are all seemingly blinded by temporary pleasures that we tend to forget that time never goes backwards.

The whole concept of our promotional video is to tackle about the importance of time in every single individual’s life. That we should invest our time into things that molds and hones us to become more of an economic asset and lesser than a liability.

The roads we took in making this project was indeed rough and never easy. But because of our minds which served as our map that leads us to the right path, and the fuel of our camaraderie, we, in the end, emerged victorious in reaching our longed goal.

We are not just some mere students. We are accountancy students enrolled at Hua Siong College of Iloilo with big dreams and goals attached in our souls. The story behind the formation of group started when we were tasked to form two groups with eleven members each. Most of us has our own group of friends already but were not enough to form a group of eleven members. That’s when we decided to merge with different circle of friends until we are finally complete.Our group which was just intended for the project ended with friendship which we will truly cherish till the end of time.

The circle of friends we created consists of jolly, witty and hardworking members who did their fair share in the accomplishment of the said project. Each one has their own roles and if someone’s load was a little bit heavy, every single member in their own free time is and was always willing to lighten up that load. This quality that each member of our group uniquely possess became our cornerstone and because of that, we really built a strong foundation.

There are times that we were shaken by pressure due to the requirements and quizzes being bombarded by other subjects. But as I have mentioned, we, are accountancy students. We can balance more than just the debits and credits in numbers. We can also balance the debits and credits of life’s challenges. We have always believed that the value we will receive is always equal to the value we give out.

The name of our brand, “Soaring Phoenix” was inspired by the mythological symbol of Hua Siong College of Iloilo (HSCI) which is Phoenix. We want to make use of this symbol to present our promotional video to give a vivid and metaphoric picture of what it is like to be in HSCI. We want to connect this with our concept which is “ORAS (time)” by stating that in able to soar high like a phoenix, one must invest his time to an educational institution that will mold students to become the best version of themselves.

Our brand’s tagline is, “Taking you into greater heights of possibilities with no boundaries”. This is to show a depiction that our brand will make the spectators venture into a world wherein they will ponder if they did or they will make the right decision in life. To be able to reach the said greater heights, one must first come out of his shell and see where will he truly invest that results affirmatively.

The main goal of our brand is to show that HSCI is the best educational institution that will enhance the capabilities of an individual in all aspects such as in academics, sports, literature and many more. We showed all of these to the audiences using a story line that will melt our hearts.

Throughout the whole semester of creating this project, there are multitudes of experiences that we have gained that is undeniably beneficial for us to grow as a better individual with larger goals in life. To enumerate;

Camaraderie

This is by far the very first lesson that we have gained from this experience. This taught us that in able to reach the goal that everyone wanted, one person is not enough. Listening to the ideas of every members will cultivate our minds to create a better outcome.

Hard work and perseverance

People often say that life is not a bed of roses. There are no shortcuts to success. In able to reach the dreams that we have, we must wake up and work for it. This experience taught us that hard work indeed makes the dream work.

Genuine friendship

This experience taught us that in able to work as a team, we should not consider ourselves as competitors of each other but as a family who works together. This taught us that indeed, true friendship can be seen inside the four walls of the classroom and can be felt even outside the campus.

Grace under pressure

As accountancy students, we are always bombarded by so much quizzes, projects, requirements and lots and lots of pending need-to-study lessons. Throughout this project, we were equipped to manage our mental health cautiously knowing that our body cannot function well if we will let the waves of pressure catch us.

Time management

This experience taught us to balance our time. Our own concept of the story in the promotional video also helped us to gain insights that time is indeed precious and must be well spent.

Faith

The said project made us experience the power of faith. This made us realize that indeed faith without work is dead. That we need to work in the best of our abilities if we want to reach a certain goal.

But above all, we learned to trust more on the sole giver of our strength.
