4. Feedback
   • "We shouldn't focus our interaction with discussion groups alone given the fact that a number of students do not have regular internet access. Communicating personally, I believe, is much more effective in dealing with other members of the organization."
   • "Must have good information dissemination on the members that we are having group discussions."
   • "This kind of discussion facilitation has limits. More so, wouldn't it be better if the officers themselves interacted with the members?"
   • "Dapat parehong egroups tsaka posters... dapat nating isipin na hindi lahat may internet :)"
