Bani Team

Team name

Bani is a tree found in Bani, Pangasinan that has been proved to successfully lower blood glucose levels. Since this was the main thing that binded the team together, Bani was used to constantly remind us of how we became friends and how we passed all those trials in STR 1 together.

WHY CHOOSE RAPD?

Even though everyone knows that STR is the hardest subject in pisay since it has the most number of requirements, we still took the risk of getting this elective. We believe that the RAPD elective will best help us in our future researches and hopefully businesses.

Impressions

At first, we thought that the elective would be about marketing and selling stuff only. We had no idea that it would include reportings about the different government policies for product development and patenting. I thought that we would just go to fairs and have free tastes and in turn sell our products. Apparently, none of these happened.

At first, i thought my classmates would be hard to be vibes with. But as weeks and quarters passed, we became closer and more fun. All because of one common interest. Our superwoman teacher, Ma’am Bick. We all knew that Ma’am Bick was a very strict teacher. She had a reputation. But contrary to popular belief, Ma’am Bick was a fun teacher. She is the most game teacher to go out and on a outing. :))

PROJECT?

Our cupcakes aimed to lower the number of protein malnourished children in the Philippines by adding Spirulina platensis to the recipe to increase protein intake while having fun.

TRAITS.

• Teamwork :))
• Friendliness towards other people
• HYPERNESS!

FUN part?

I believe that the part when we were trying and tasting the recipes was the most fun. We got to experiment on which combinations tasted better. When the whole elective was at one place baking, that was the best experience ever. It had a sense of competition and cheering all at the same time.

CHALLENGING part?

I think finding the different possible recipes that could be used were the hardest part. We had to check for consistencies and stuff like that. I also think that the sensory evaluation was hard. Since we couldn’t really taste the difference.

Most memorable activity

I believe that the RAPD outing in Jaclyn’s house was the best outdoor activity ever. We had overnight and played rock band. We now have a theme song, “Rebel Girl” complete with choreography. We are hoping to have another outing with the gang soon.

Other Activity?

I would have wanted to have an educational field trip to food companies and see how the process on how they manufacture their products so that we can apply it to out researches. This will make the production more efficient.

Message?

For the future RAPD pioneers, i hope you take this elective because not only will you have, you’ll learn a lot too! Like ma’am bick’s funny habits. HEHEHEH. Debating. :| Wag lang kayong tamarin magpass ng requirements and you’ll be fine.
