They say that leaders are made
and not born. The same thing goes for bros. They are like gold from an oven.
Heated, hammered and then polished. After which a boy turns into a bro, filled
with wisdom and experience to do things according to his own virtues.
Throughout the course of history,
certain bros made advancement in terms of leadership. There was Alexander the
Great, ruler of Mesopotamia, Mohammed of the Islamic world, Confucius of China,
Mahatma Gandhi of India and Jesus Himself. All these great bros were able to
lead their own people towards peace, honor and glory.
In his years of leadership, Mr.
Angelito Bautista Jr. is sure to have his own ups and downs. He graduated Summa
Cum Laude in our beloved, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, became a
College Student Council President last 2010 and is currently a volunteer member
of the Parish Pastoral Council in their own town. Fortunately, I had a chance
to ask him a series of questions that will give us an insight on what makes a
bro, a good leader, how should a bro-leader act or what is the ideal
bro-leader.
THE BRONICLES: What makes a bro a leader?
MR. BAUTISTA: Palabra de honor. Firmness. Gentleness and
respectfulness.
THE BRONICLES: What is the ideal bro-leader?
MR. BAUTISTA: An ideal bro-leader is someone who objectively plans,
decides and implements, someone who knows that leadership is action and
service. A person who is ready to serve all the time when he can.
THE BRONICLES: Do you think that bros makes better leader than
chicks (women)?
MR. BAUTISTA: Not really. It depends on the character of the
person. Gender equality. Men can do what women can and vice versa. It varies on
how they execute things.
THE BRONICLES: What are your notable achievements as a bro-leader?
MR. BAUTISTA: Aside from being a former student council president,
graduating as summa cum laude of our batch, probably my volunteer membership in
the Parish Pastoral council or responsible voting, coordinator of one ministry
in our church, and as organizer in my former alma-mater. PUP of different
political and social activities.
THE BRONICLES: Any tips for the bro-leaders and all other bros who
want to become leaders out there.
MR. BAUTISTA: To all bros out there, who want to be a bro-leader,
destiny is the fruit of your actions and thoughts. Work and act so you can
achieve something. Do not be afraid to explore, life is a worlds of
exploration. There are many things out there. That do not come to you but you
should search for them. Reach them. And it includes leadership.
There you have it bros,
leadership is really not that easy but if we are to consider the possibilities
that it entails I am sure that those possibilities outweigh the difficulties of
being a leader. After all, this is what bros have done in the past, what some
do today and what we should continue in the near future.
