00:00Sa likod ng bawat successful events, maraming taong nagpapagot at naghahanda para matiyak na magiging maayos ang lahat.
00:08From planning to execution, kailangan laging organized.
00:13As in, saka sa mga mahilig magplano at maghanda ng mga event, baka ito na ang career na bagay sa
00:18'yo.
00:18Pero ano nga ba magsimula sa events management kahit wala ka pang experience?
00:23Don't worry about it, bibigyan tayo ng advice muna sa isang events expert.
00:26Wala nga iba kundi si Ms. Les Navarro.
00:27Hi Ms. Les, welcome. Sarah is in China, Pilipinas.
00:30Hello everyone and mabuhay.
00:32Mabuhay Ms. Les.
00:33It's nice to see you again, Stia and Fifi.
00:36And hello sa mga viewers po natin, Sarah is in China.
00:40Umaga talaga, umaga natin.
00:42So medyo ano pa, medyo ginigising pa natin ang diwa na kundi umaga.
00:49Pag-event management 24-7.
00:52Walang tulog lang.
00:53Because our creative minds medyo gumagana na medyo late na sa...
00:57Oo, mga 10 p.m. na yan.
01:00Ayun.
01:01So ano, wala kaming asaan ng creative mind game.
01:03Ang gano naman.
01:04I like this, pal.
01:06Oo, nag-gredita.
01:06I just namin license siya.
01:08Oo, pwede, pinaghandaan naman.
01:10Ayun.
01:11Ms. Les, sige, simulan na natin.
01:13Ano bang events management?
01:14Okay.
01:14So what are the key responsibilities na isang events manager?
01:17Actually, events management, siya yung nagbibigay directions.
01:20Sa isang event.
01:23Okay.
01:24Kami ang magiging director.
01:26Kami magiging mag-guide sa inyo para magiging successful yung event in terms of creative and logistics.
01:35Okay.
01:35Pagdating sa college, sige, meron bang kailangan ang college, sige, or formal training para din sa events management?
01:40Actually, right now, I'm engaged with one of the agency, which is the, isa sa mga sila yung nag-train,
01:47at sila din ang nag-certified.
01:49Okay.
01:49Ng mga events coordinator.
01:53So, sige yung, sige, kumbaga kami yung trainer, kumbaga.
01:58Pero hindi naman nasa sa sarili na kailangan mo ng formal training or formal knowledge talaga.
02:08O talaga kailangan college degree ka or hindi naman.
02:11It's based on the history.
02:12Kaya nga, ang isa sa mga nasamahan kong events planner, yung nasisimula pa lang ako sa industry, kasi I think
02:20500 pesos lang ata.
02:22Talaga?
02:23Oo, ang TF ko noon.
02:25I remember.
02:26Our company is running for 15 years, ang CBAE events management.
02:31So, imagine, yung 500 pesos na yun.
02:35Talagang kinikip ko yun.
02:37So, sumasaki din ang jeep.
02:39Kasi datang yung mga panahon namin noon, basta matuto ka, go ka, di ba?
02:46Yes, yes.
02:46It's both sure.
02:47Yeah.
02:48It's events kasi it's based on the history.
02:50So, hindi siya picture-picture lang or kailangan talaga you have a passion.
02:56And then the number one is the trust.
02:59Ang kumbaga binibitawan mo doon sa kliyente.
03:03Kasi usually naman yung mga events, usually we kontrata, presentations, di ba?
03:08We have liabilities na pinanghahawakan.
03:12Okay, kasi yung iba, they have a regular job, tapos you'll have events management as your sideline.
03:18Yung iba naman, pagka-graduate, they want to start with events as well.
03:23Siguro, magandang malaman natin, ano-ano ba yung mga uri ng mga events yung pwede na pag-practice on?
03:28Okay.
03:28Especially yung mga newbies, paano sila makakabuo ng kanilang portfolio?
03:32Okay, based on my history, so I would like to share it to everyone.
03:36I started with my cousins, my relatives, friends.
03:41Mahilig ako mga elams sa mga, lalo yung cake design, yung mga backdrop, yan, yung mga backdrop design.
03:48Ang hilig-hilig ko mga elams.
03:50So, gusto ko yung ako yung nakikita sa event.
03:52Ako yung punong abala.
03:54O punong abala, ako yun.
03:56So, pag nakita mo kasi na naging maayos yung event mo, masarap sa feelings kasi na nakikita mo, you give
04:04a quality of events.
04:06Lalo na sa trending right now, sa event industry right now, napakalaki.
04:11So, nakikita na natin yung transformations ng events from other countries na adapt na rin dito sa Philippines.
04:18Yung portfolio, paano mabubuo naman?
04:21Okay. Sa portfolio naman, syempre coming from the history of your events, pwede mo naman pagsamasamahin yan kung saan ka
04:28sumamang events.
04:29Okay.
04:30And then, ano ba yung expertise mo?
04:32Certainness mo.
04:34Kung weddings ka ba, debut ka ba, or corporate events ka ba.
04:38I started weddings, small events, internet events.
04:44And then, for running for 15 years in the industry.
04:47Corporate ka na ngayon eh.
04:48Yan, nakikita mo sa Instagram.
04:50So, we mount trade shows.
04:54We mount a corporate hybrid events.
04:57Para doon sa mga gustong magpa-event, lalo-lalo na this coming four months, we have a lot of kick
05:02-off events.
05:03Talaga?
05:04Dapat nagdala ka ng kapay dito, Miss Ler.
05:06Next year, ako.
05:09Yes, next year.
05:10What, pagdating naman syempre sa challenges or hamon?
05:12Ano-ano naman itong mga hamon sa events?
05:15We have a lot of challenges, walang perfect events.
05:18Yan lagi ang, pero, but, we have a lot of backup plans from A to Z.
05:23So, the challenge is usually, ganyan itong live events ito, or may mga live events tayo.
05:30No, meron mga technical problems.
05:32Minor problems, but we need backup plans.
05:34And then, you need to report with the client, kung ano na yan.
05:37Kasi, you need to be honest with the client.
05:39Kasi, yung liabilities mo, and then the trust.
05:42Kaya, kumbaga continuous business pa din pagdating sa client.
05:46Puso pa rin ba yung kapag mong alpak yung kasama mo, nasisigawan pa din?
05:50Sa, ano namin, sa practices namin, we keep, ano talaga, kumbaga professionalism.
05:57Kasi, di ba mga panahon dati, sigawan dito, sigawan dito.
06:01We train people, we inspire people, and we do collaborations with the people din.
06:07Okay, so, saempre, na tayo naghahanda para sa mga events, ano-ano yung mga bagay na dapat pagandaan ng isang
06:15newbie, isang sasale sa isang events production,
06:20at paano na nila maharap yung mga posibleng problems, challenges, on a certain event that they'll be having.
06:26Okay, um, number one, the weather, the weather for, lalo yung pag-outdoor.
06:32That's very inevitable.
06:34If destination weddings, you need backup plans, talagang, ano, rise and shine nga, ano,
06:40ano, kailangan mo mag-backup plan ng another tent na pwedeng sumalo doon sa space or in-avail ni client.
06:48And then, for the corporate events, the manuscript, we need to forecast kung ano ba, anong weather forecast for the
06:54next week.
06:55Kailangan ba natin i-move?
06:56And then, we need to double-check all the contracts.
06:59Okay.
06:59So, medyo sensitive pag corporate events.
07:01Uh-huh.
07:02Yeah.
07:02And then, we decided kung i-move ba or not.
07:06So, everything is documented.
07:08So, hindi pwedeng bahala si God, bahala si Batman's events.
07:13So, kailangan talaga...
07:13We can do this.
07:14Pag-in-dee.
07:15Hindi kasi nag-check.
07:16Kasi may mga clients kasi na nakikita na lang maganda on the picture but the executions itself, ayun na.
07:24So, ganun pala kahirap.
07:26Alam mo, ang dami yung tuloy.
07:27Speaking of contracts ha, merong mga Facebook pages kasi kung saan may mga clients na doon magpo-post.
07:33Tapos, many suppliers would comment.
07:37Tapos, after may mga posts naman ng mga feedbacks or hindi pa natutuloy yung event pero biglang kinuha na na
07:43ng pera.
07:43One of the challenges is scams.
07:46Yes.
07:46Actually, yan po yung isa sa mga agency na tinutulungan din po namin.
07:52Pwede ko sabihin, it's TESDA Philippines.
07:55Ang TESDA kasi sila yung nag-certified.
07:57Oh, oh.
07:59Sila din ang nagbibigay ng certificate.
08:03Kung ikaw ba industry worker.
08:05Ayun.
08:05At sila din ang natutrain ng skills.
08:08Oo, so, garanti yun.
08:09Oo, kapag may ganun ka kasi yung mga events management, NC3.
08:14Ibig sabihin nyo, you're certified by the government.
08:16So, hindi ka pwedeng mag-scam.
08:18Di ba?
08:19O, o, o, ganun.
08:20Siguro, dahil siguro, akala nila ganun kadali.
08:23Ganun kadali ang trabaho ng nasa events management.
08:26Ayan, yun nga, medyo sad but kailangan na natin i-boost yung event industry right now.
08:33Oo.
08:33Tsaka kailangan check yung legitimacy, ano?
08:37Exactly.
08:37Kaya, we encourage the people na yung mga pumapasok sa business ng event industry,
08:44check the BIR, DTI, and government agencies natin na tumutulong
08:49para at least maging legit ka sa business mo.
08:53At saka, mabilis din ang word of mouth pagka-inagal lang sa social media reviews.
09:00You have an upcoming event?
09:01Yes, we have upcoming events right now.
09:04We're helping the Minuyang Proper.
09:06This is isang pasasalamat, konserto ng pasasalamat.
09:10Ini-invite po namin ang mga taga-San Jose Dalmonte, Bulacan.
09:15Dito po sa Minuyang Proper, meron po kami 35th funding anniversary.
09:21Ito po ay pinagsama-sama ng mga local artists at gagalapin po ito sa October 25th at 6pm in the
09:30evening.
09:30Ayan.
09:31Ano ba layunin ang event nito para kasayahan yan, no?
09:34Yes, it's a brandy ordinance doon po sa kanila.
09:38But we're helping the events management and consultancy for the entire concert in terms of technical, logistic, and creatives.
09:48So, combine yun, Fifi.
09:50So, kailangan, ano, pag sinag-start ang show, di ba?
09:52Pag nag-start yung show, syempre tayo na sa TV.
09:55Kaya yung ini-explain ko with my clients, magkakaiba ang events sa TV, sa corporate, at saka sa social events.
10:02It's different.
10:03Oo, tama, tama.
10:04But part din naman tayo ng industry na ito.
10:06Yes, I saw your a lot of hosting is there, no?
10:10Si Fifi din.
10:11Si Fifi, yan, no?
10:13Masaya, masaya itong industry.
10:14Masaya, yun ito.
10:15Well, thank you so much.
