It's all about speed, convenience, and fun. Picture over 50 of the country's top IT, call center, top 1,000 corporations, even overseas recruitment agencies, and various other companies in one grand recruitment event on tour of Manila's premier venues!

How would it feel to get your job offer on the same day? A live hiring monitor will be the talk of the day as it keeps an eye on the first ten (10) applicants ever to get hired on-the-spot. Interesting stories will be told with the freshest videos shown live onsite as they unfold until the first ten is chosen. From the time they fill up application forms, 'til the time they finally get their first interview, up to the time they make it to the shortlist, applicants will be videotaped every single time at random until the final cut is made. The top ten will receive P5,000 in cash each, plus choice items, gift certificates, and various other prizes.

Top performers including some of today's hottest bands are the surprise of the event as they provide relief after a day of back-breaking hunt for jobs and to satisfy the crowd's craving for music and entertainment.

This event promises to be all the excitement you can handle in one day. Every top item on an applicant's wish list will be raffled off hourly with eye-popping souvenir items and gift certificates to be given away to early birds. Who would not want a new laptop, a PDA, or a complete wardrobe on his first day in office? These and other exciting prizes will be up for grabs as the first ever reality-type hiring event hits Manila and continues this August!

To the techy youngsters, we encourage you to give your resume a quick look and that much needed update. To experienced call center agents who may be looking out for even better pay and a much more interesting work environment, we dare you to make that move and explore some more. And to top graduates out to see what's in store for them in IT and Customer Service, jump out of bed and rush to the nearest job fair site... who knows your dream job could just be around waiting for you.

Take the challenge… dash to any participating mall and venue, apply for any featured job vacancies, and walk away with your dream job (on the same day)!

ALAMAT : 1st International Conference on Myths and Symbols

Theme: "Flood Stories, Lost Lands and Drowned Continents"
(Rediscovering the Contemporary Significance of Ancient Myths and Symbols for Healing the Earth)

http://cas.upm.edu.ph/alamat

CALL FOR PAPERS

In celebration of the University of the Philippines' Centennial this
2008, the Department of Arts and Communication of the College of Arts
and Sciences, (University of the Philippines Manila) is pleased to
announce its holding of ALAMAT : The 1st International Conference on
Myths and Symbols, with the theme "Flood Stories, Lost Lands and
Drowned Continents" to be held on November 26-29, 2008 at the Bulwagang Aurelio Tolentino (Little Theater), Cultural Center of the Philippines, Pasay City, Metro Manila, Philippines.

The University of the Philippines Manila, through the Alamat Conference and its theme, "Flood Stories, Lost Lands, and Drowned Continents" enters the international discussion on environmental and earth-healing to avert an impending repetition of a long past semi-mythical, semi-prehistorical event � great floods, lost lands, drowned continents, causing massive dispersals and migrations of people around the world. This mythical event might likely become a reality, once again, given the human-caused global warming phenomenon, resulting climate. To answer this problem, a new myth has to be discovered, or an old one re-discovered and re-invented to heal the divided consciousness of the people of the earth that is causing this great peril to the world. A healed consciousness might lead to a healed earth. To this end, the University of the Philippines Manila, as a Health Sciences Campus, sees the need to extend the concept of healing to "Healing the Self" and "Healing the Earth". To this end � the contemporary significance of ancient myths and symbols in healing might be re-discovered.
The Main Speaker for the Opening Program will be Dr. Stephen Oppenheimer, M.D. of Green College and School of Anthropology , Oxford University , England.

His book, Eden in the East : The Drowned Continent of Southeast Asia , has inspired the organizers to explore his thesis in line with the need to heal the earth through myths and symbols as a part of addressing the international concern on the perils of global warming and climate change.

The Closing Speaker will be Mr. Paul Kekai Manansala, an independent researcher and journalist from Sacramento , California , USA . Mr. Manansala has written books on the history and pre-history of Southeast Asia and related regions, namely, The Naga Race (1994), Quests of the Dragon and Bird Clan (2006) and Sailing the Black Current (2007).

Selected panel discussants from other parts of the world, the ASEAN and Pacific regions, as well as the Philippines, will lead the framing the Conference resolutions by the participants, and gear them towards healing the earth in response to the perils posed by global warming and climate change.
In this connection, the Organizing Committee calls for papers from all interested parties in the local, national and international levels � from the academic and educational sector; business and industry sector; media and communications sector; arts, culture and creative industries sector; religious sector; civil society groups, NGOs, POs ; military and police sector; environmentalists; and governmental organizations and units - to participate in this international conference , as paper presenters, poster exhibitors, art exhibitors, or participants.

There will be two screenings on the papers submitted. The first is the
screening of the abstracts submitted based on the Call for Papers. The
second is the screening of the completed paper sent based on the
approved abstracts.

Abstracts will be screened based on their adherence to the theme of
the conference, clarity of idea or thesis presented by the paper, and
orderly presentation of the data.

The completed papers will be evaluated based on their adherence to the
abstract approved by the Panel of Reviewers. Upon notification of the Panel's acceptance of the
abstract, the "Technical Guidelines in Paper-Writing" will be sent to
the participant, who then writes the paper in full, following the
technical guidelines set by the Panel of Reviewers. Deadline for the
submission of the completed paper based on the approved abstract is August 30, 2008 .

Since all completed papers will be pre-printed in one volume in time
for the Conference, approved papers by the Panel will be referred to
the Editorial Committee for copy editing.

Please e-mail the abstract accompanied by a one-paged resume of the
writer / scholar / researcher/ participant.

The accepted abstract (not over 800 words) must be completed as a full
paper with a maximum of 5,000 words. For the completed paper,
illustrations will be limited to a maximum of eight photos / pictures.
The photos must be numbered and be provided with a caption and photo

released only after all the approved abstracts have been fully
written, and the completed versions duly sent via e-mail to the
Over-All Coordinator, for submission to the Editorial Committee -
leading to their printing in one compiled volume which will be
available during the conference.

Since only 24 speakers will be accommodated for oral presentation
during the four-day conference, (inclusive of the Opening Program, the
Poster Exhibit and the Closing program), all abstracts received will
be ranked from 1-24. Those whose abstracts have been approved but did
not make it to the group of 24 paper presenters, will be accommodated
as Poster Exhibitors, instead. However, they will also be asked to
submit their completed papers for inclusion in the pre-printed volume
of papers approved and compiled for the conference. Once the approved
abstracts are released, guidelines to the technical requirements to be
followed in writing and submitting the completed paper will be
e-mailed as " Technical Guidelines for Paper-Writing / Printing", or
put in the website, together with a letter of consent to be signed by
the writer to authorize the Organizers to have a pre-printed copy of
the conference papers. Approval of the abstract for paper-reading does
not necessarily make it a part of the pre-printed copy of papers. It
merely becomes a candidate for publication. The quality of the
completed papers will determine the final choice of papers for
publication � according to the criteria already given. The papers
finally approved by the Panel of Reviewers will then be passed on to
the Publication Committee for copy editing.

Because of the tight budget of the Conference, there shall be no
financial assistance provided for the speakers or paper presenters.
However, to help them make it to the conference, the Organizing
Committee members have decided to waive off their registration or
conference fees. Furthermore, each presenter and poster exhibitor will
receive one free copy of the pre-printed volume of conference papers
in their conference kits.

Regular conference kits will include the conference program, souvenir
program, name tags, the abstracts of papers, a pen and sheets of blank paper.

There are available hotel accommodations within the area of Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex. These can be can be personally and directly arranged by the presenters by phone, e-mail, letter, etc., or can be arranged for them by the
Organizing Committee, upon request. Details on these housing accommodations, with their corresponding cost per day shall be provided in April 2008.

Transport from the airport to the venue, and from the venue back, can
also be arranged personally upon arrival at the Ninoy Aquino
International Airport or the Centennial Airport , through the airport
transport system. However, if the presenters so request, they can be
picked up from the airport at their specific time of arrival and then
driven back to it at their specific time of departure, by a private
vehicle hired by the conference staff, at a cost regularly charged for
such private pick-up arrangements.

Food preferences (vegetarian diet or not) must also be communicated to
the Coordinator of the Conference.

Optional post-conference tour packages for the participants are also
being arranged through the assistance of the Department of Tourism, at
a certain cost. Details on these specific tour packages (connected and
not connected to the conference theme) will be announced after the
final list of speakers and poster exhibitors for the conference is

NOTES:

1. The word "kapatiran" is a Philippine term from the lexeme "kapatid"
(brother / sister) formed from the prefix "ka" (partner, double) and
the root word "patid" (to cut off, as from a tie or cord; hence,
literally, cut off from the same umbilical cord). This word applies to
groups of mixed Christian and indigenous beliefs, operating based on
the principle of brotherhood and sisterhood, whose members claim to be
guardians of a secret ancestral wisdom revealed to chosen individuals.
They claim to have a hidden revelation on the Philippines being once a
part of a ancient civilization that vanished - that will one day arise
and reveal its renewed former glory to the whole world)

Please forward to interested parties.
