H. Guidelines for all students enrolled in HRD 104 (Leadership in Organizations) with Mr. Sabdilon
In groups (as originally assigned in class), you are to interview at least 1 person (who you consider a leader like Brgy. Chair, City official (elected or head of a government agency), military or police officer, school director/principal (of a school turned evacuation center), any prominent member or officer of any business or socio-civic organization (Rotary Lions, Fraternities, Religious orgs, etc) about their Zamboanga –September 2013 experience. Make sure that the interviewee understands the purpose of the interview and the plan for the stories to be indexed and possibly published and if they wish so, their identities can be withheld. The following will be the items for submission:

• Raw audio file of interview (2 file copies in 1CD)
• Short biographical information about the interviewee
• Short Essay of interviewer/s on the interview data
• Biographical information about the interviewer/s
• Photographic evidence of interviewer, of interviewee, of the two together, or other photos relevant to story (last one is optional but strongly encouraged).

WHY DO THIS? Anyone who has tried to research on Zamboanga history knows how hard it is to find good documents. With this oral history project, we will be able to help preserve the voices of a wide range of people who were part of the Zamboanga Crisis of 2013 experience. Moreover, this will be an opportunity to recognize and understand various leadership strategies and concepts.

The material can be compiled into a publishable form later – a website , a journal, a manuscript. At the very least, this will be sorted, indexed, and archived for future reference.
DETAILS. There are no limits to the number of questions that can be asked. However, there should be themes to be observed. Among the questions that can be asked are the following:

• How did you come to know about the supposed attack on the city? What were you doing when the news reached you?
• What were your thoughts and feelings immediately after knowing of the supposed attack?
• Were there changes in your thoughts and feelings as the crisis went on? What were these changes? What caused them?
• What did you end up doing (when the news broke out)?
• What did you do as a response to the mounting call for assistance to the evacuees, freed hostages, other residents? What motivated you to do what you did?
• Now that rehabilitation efforts are underway, what do you plan to do? What project/s do you have in mind?
• What can you say about the way our city and national officials handled the crisis?

The essay about the interview data by the interviewer/s must be an analysis and  reflection on the functions and responsibilities of leaders, characteristic thoughts and behaviors of leaders and leadership style practiced/adhered to by the person.

The biographical information about the interviewee must include the following: personal information such as complete name, age, gender, marital status, occupation, and group affiliated with. It should also include a brief description of the interviewee’s role in the organization he/she is affiliated with. The biographical information of interviewer/s on the other hand must include name, age, course and year. It should also include  short justification on the choice of interviewee.
The photographs must be labeled/captioned. Captions must be pasted securely on the back of each photo. If photos are to be displayed as in a mini album, the caption/s must be included beneath each photo.

The students are expected to observe strict security and safety measures during the conduct of the interview and submission of the requirement. All interviewers must explain to the interviewees the purpose of the interview (preserving oral stores and understanding leadership dynamics). It is strongly advised that parents or older (responsible) relatives be with you during these times. During preparation of the transcripts and reports, you do not have to meet personally. You can coordinate with each other online.

Requirements will be accepted ONLY ON October 11, 2013 (Friday) at the ADZU main gate from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm.  All documents must be sealed inside a transparent plastic envelope. There should be a piece of paper listing all the documents/items inside the envelope. The names of the group members must be pasted outside the plastic envelope. The plastic envelopes must be dropped off at the SLA FACULTY WORKROOM.
