Accountancy Week 2015

Last July 13, 2015, JPIANs across the province had come together for the annual
celebration of the accountancy profession. The Accountancy Week 2015 commenced with a
motorcade of the different universities and colleges that are members of the Negros Occidental
Federation of Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants (NECONFED-JPIA) namely:
Binalbagan Catholic College (BCC), Carlos Hilado Memorial State College (CHMSC), Colegio
San Agustin Bacolod (CSA-B), Central Philippines Adventist College (CPAC), Fellowship
Baptist College (FBC), Southland College (SC), University of St. La Salle Bacolod (USLS), and
University of Negros Occidental- Recoletos (UNO-R).
Upon arrival at Negros Occidental Multi-Purpose Activity Center (NOMPAC) an
Opening Program was led by Daniel Tesoro (USLS) and Amy Rose Botnande (CSA-B). JPIANs
showcased their talents ranging from singing, hiphop and contemporary dancing in the
NECONFED Got Talent. The University of Negros Occidental Recoletos who made the audience
laugh by their unique and innovative way of incorporating a single black skirt in their dance was
hailed as the Champion followed by the University of St. La Salle, 1ST Place then Carlos Hilado
Memorial State College, 2nd Place both which showed their skills in dancing.
The Carlos Hilado Memorial State Colleges Shes Dating the Gayster, a cinema trailer
parody of the blockbuster hit Shes Dating The Gangster, was determined to be the best among
other entries followed by the University Of St. La Salles One More Guy and Southland
Colleges Starting Over Again. Special awards were also given to the outstanding performances
of the actors and actresses featuring in the trailers. The Binalbagan Catholic College got the Best
Actress and the Best Director awards and our very own Arvin Jan dela Cruz (USLS) as Tanjoe
Berdugo with his iconic line Minahal mo ba talaga ako? O ginawa mo lang akong panakip
butas? won as Best Actor.
NECONFEDs #Dubsmash Competition was a hit among the audience earning cheers
and laughter as each #Dubsmash entry was played on the screen. It was CHMSCs #Dubsmash
that earned the most laughter and was declared the champion followed by USLSs entry in 1st
Place and UNO-Rs entry in 2nd Place.
Overall all, Binalbagan Catholic College was declared as the 3rd Placer, University of
Negros Occidental- Recoletos in 2nd Place and the 1st Place spot shared by both Carlos Hilado
Memorial State College and University of St. La Salle Bacolod.
It was also in the Opening Ceremony of the Accountancy Week 2015 where the new
batch of officers that will lead the NECONFED JPIA to a successful year was introduced. Donie
Jin dela Pea (USLS) was elected as the new President with Marian Joyce Delatina (USLS) as

Other activities during the week-long celebration include a Tree Planting Activity, a
Seminar held in the USLS Coliseum and a Bowling Tournament in cooperation with PICPA
Negros Occidental.
It is our mission to bring together the JPIANs all over Negros Occidental. There is
strength in unity. NECONFED is a tool in finding that strength amidst diversity. It is also our
goal to remind every JPIAn that it is okay to have fun while reaching the CPA target that he
must not be consumed by the demands, deadlines and obligations but he must also burn for the
other things he loves. This federation year, JPIAns will accelerate!, Donie Jin de la Pea,
NECONFED President.
