2 MESSAGE FROM THE CEO/PRESIDENT


TO THE STAKEHOLDERS

From The President


Greetings, reader!

Unsullied, Co. is a business categorized in the Bags and Luggages Industry. However, the
company strives to differentiate itself in the market by occupying its own niche that has yet to be
entered by other businesses in the Philippines. This niche market would involve the sale of bags
positioned to prioritize hygiene and sanitation with convenience; and because no other business
utilizes this positioning, Unsullied, Co. has earned itself a unique selling point that works to their
advantage.

With this, the team launched its debut product G-Bag, followed by a product diversification
with The OG. G-Bag is a water-resistant, pouch-like invention, small enough to fit within a standard
sized backpack, crafted for sanitary usage. Specifically, it is intended to be the go-to bag where
consumers can place their dirty clothes, shoes, or miscellaneous items that should not be mixed with
other contents within a backpack. In the same line, The OG is a water-resistant, innovated drawstring
bag designed to be large enough to have three compartments that separate clean clothes, dirty
clothes, shoes and others. Two of the compartments have ventilation pockets to air out foul odor that
could originate from dirty clothes and shoes. In designing the products, the team made sure that they
did not veer away from the critical factors of hygiene and convenience, as without this, the products
would be no different from the ones already in the market.

It is with fondness that I recall how we came up with the idea that the company is founded on.
Whenever we participated in sports and exercise that required a change of clothes, most especially
swimming, we would use plastic bags to store our wet or dirty clothes and lug around a separate bag
for these items. Discovering that plastic bags do not only harm the environment, but also breed a lot
of bacteria that could be harmful to one’s health, we were motivated to think of an alternative, thus,
the idea of Unsullied, Co. products that replace the use of plastics, do not compromise the lifestyle of
its users, deliver security in sanitation, and make things convenient for the users.

On behalf of the team, I can say that it has truly been an excellent experience like no other to
have let us know that we can make a change in the world with what we do best, being entrepreneurs.
Realizing that in our own way, we have contributed to solving societal problems in line with the UN
Sustainable Development Goals 2030 of (1) good health and well-being, (2) clean water and sanitation,
(3) industry, innovation, and infrastructure, (4) responsible consumption and production, (5) climate
action, (6) life below water, and (7) life on land have greatly humbled and inspired us for our future
endeavors as productive and concerned citizens of the world.

For the management team of the company, each member is expected to contribute a
set of skills and talents depending on their corresponding position in the company that will aid
in providing quality product for the customers.
Before the start of the business simulation, the Board of Directors (BoD) saw the need
to make amendments in the management team of the company due to a need for a new
department, the Legal department. With this change, the BoD has decided to modify the
management team and the organizational chart of Unsullied, Co.. Ms. Carla Sofia T. Padilla,
the then Sales Officer, was assigned to the new department, making her the Legal Officer.
The Sales department, which was previously a separate department from the Marketing
department, was re-assigned to Ms. Mariah Camille V. Oliveros, Marketing Officer. This means
that the Marketing department which once covers the advertising aspect only of marketing,
now covers both advertising and sales aspect. With these changes, the new organizational
chart is reflected below:

04 Significant Learnings
DEPARTMENTAL

FINANCE
Marc Christopher G. Alelis
Part of the responsibilities of a Finance Officer is
the safekeeping of records related with the accounting
process such as receipts and forms. The accomplishment
of this responsibility requires a certain level of organization
in one’s life. Truthfully speaking, that is one thing I do not
have. In light of the fulfillment of this responsibility placed
upon me as a Finance Officer, this whole experience has
spurred me to learn how to be organized, deal with my
weaknesses, and eventually grow as an individual.

HUMAN RESOURCES AND LEGAL


Carla Sofia T. Padilla
As the Human Resources Officer and Legal Officer, struggles
and rewards both came at the same time. Under my department, I was
tasked to do three major tasks: monitor the performance and attendance
of the employees, ensure that all necessary reports and documents of
the company and its members are complete and precise, and engage
the company in its social responsibilities. This may be a simple task for
some, but the time pressure and amount of documents are no joke. This
also came as a blessing for me because it was not only I that I came to
know more but also my co-members in the Board of Directors.
One thing that I liked most about being the Human Resources
Officer and Legal Officer is the diversity. Diversity is something that we
should embrace, and that is what we grasped. Coming from different
backgrounds and possessing different personalities, Unsullied, Co.
still embraced the concept of unity amidst diversity. Since we have
different intelligences, strengths and weaknesses, interests, and values,
the members of the Board of Directors still managed to set aside those
differences to work towards the goal of the company which is reflected
in our vision, “The burden of fretting about hygienic concerns lifted
from every individual.” Aside from embracing this diversity inside the
company, we also carried out this value through our corporate social
responsibility (CSR) activities. Partnering with COSCA helped us to lend
a hand to the different sectors of community, specifically to the families
which are seen as the primary unit of intervention, for them to have a
better and clearer knowledge of what it means to be healthy and clean,
or preventive healthcare. This is done through our donation for their
Lasallian Health Education, Accessible Resources and Training Services
(L-HEARTS) Project.

28 SIGNIFICANT LEARNINGS
MARKETING AND
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Mariah Camille V. Oliveros

As the Marketing Officer for Unsullied, Co., I have


learned that the process of selling a product to a target
consumer is definitely one that mimics a tangible, real life
relationship. In order for it to foster, there needs to be open
communication when it matters the most, a two-way
channel, and mutual care. As the Information Technology
Officer, I realized how integral this department’s function is
in facilitating that kind of relationship. How the corporate
social media accounts, order forms, and website need to
be accessible and visible to all.
In a way, it has been humbling for me to realize
that my company’s products end up as one of the goods
staple in the daily lives of our consumers. With every
beam of joy I feel in seeing a person use the G-Bag or The
OG in public, I understand that, in some small aspect, we
have made an impact in this world.

OPERATIONS/PRODUCTION
Monique Ellenor L. Sy

An Operating Officer requires a handful of skills


and responsibilities in order for operations to have a
smooth flow. These required skills include communication
skills for the success of the overall production of the
products as I am the main contact of the supplier.
Miscommunication is one of the most common issues
that may arise in this position. However, I am grateful to
say that it is has been a learning experience for me to
further hone my skills in areas where I need to improve
on. Furthermore, this provided me with the opportunity
to expand my knowledge and connections with people
in the corporate world which I would be entering in the
future.

As a company that aims to eliminate the use of plastic
bags as a storage for clothes, the packaging of both products
of Unsullied, Co. the G-Bag and The OG, is considered eco-
friendly. The company used “green” materials such as the paper
packing tape made from brown 100% recycled paper, brown
paper bags, and abaca twine. This helps promote not only the
environmental advocacy of the company but also the actual
product itself, together with its sustainable packaging without
giving up aesthetics.

UNSULLIED, CO. TERMINAL YEAR-END REPORT 33


Although the business has
had an overwhelmingly positive
response from the market, the
management team has decided
that discontinuing the business
would be the best option at
this point in time due to lack
of time and differing paths. As
soon to be graduates of senior
high school, all members of the
management team are posed to
enter undergraduate studies full-
time, which would mean a lack
of opportunity to attend to the
business. Moreover, the members
are going to take up varying
degree programs ranging from
Accountancy or Management to
Finance in different universities
with some entering De La Salle
University, and others pursuing
their studies at the University
of the Philippines. This would
mean significantly less, if not
no, contact with one another
upon entering university. For
the business to function, the
members would have to devote
time and commitment to
meetings and discussions that
they simply cannot guarantee.
On a positive note, in spite of
this, the members shall carry
with them into their new career
paths and put to good use the
countless lessons they have
received which are sure to help
them in their different endeavors.
