On June 18, 2009, we had our first meeting on MIS or Management Information System. It was introduced by our “gwapo” (ingon niya) facilitator Dr. Randy S. Gamboa, a national president officer of PSITE. He was my teacher on Analytic Geometry during 1st year 2nd semester and Statistics during 2nd year 1st semester. Our schedule on MIS starts at 1:00 pm so that I arrived early.
Before the discussion started one student assigned to lead the prayer. Since we had our new classmates who came from USEP Tagum campus, sir Gamboa asked those students to introduce themselves and show their hidden talents by singing as a wonderful songs. We had fun watching them and knew our new classmates.
After some presentations the class was formally started and before sir Gamboa introduced what our subject is all about, he told to the to the new students what was his policies inside the classroom and he gave some advices in terms of studies.
Our subject was Management Information System (MIS) is a subset of the overall internal controls of a business covering the application of people, documents, technologies, and procedures by management accountants to solving business problems such as costing a product, service or a business-wide strategy. Management information systems are distinct from regular information systems in that they are used to analyze other information systems applied in operational activities in the organization.
At the start, in businesses and other organizations, internal reporting was made manually and only periodically, as a by-product of the accounting system and with some additional statistics, and gave limited and delayed information on management performance.
In their infancy, business computers were used for the practical business of computing the payroll and keeping track of accounts payable and accounts receivable. As applications were developed that provided managers with information about sales, inventories, and other data that would help in managing the enterprise, the term "MIS" arose to describe these kinds of applications. Today, the term is used broadly in a number of contexts and includes (but is not limited to): decision support systems, resource and people management applications, project management and database retrieval application.
An 'MIS' is a planned system of the collecting, processing, storing and disseminating data in the form of information needed to carry out the functions of management. In a way it is a documented report of the activities those were planned and executed. According to Philip Kotler "A marketing information system consists of people, equipment, and procedures to gather, sort, analyze, evaluate, and distribute needed, timely, and accurate information to marketing decision makers."

After some explanation, sir Gamboa had started his lessons. He first tackled about the definitions of Management Information System also known as MIS. He had pointed some students to share ideas about MIS to the class. He explained well about the subject description.
One thing that I can’t forget his discussion is when he said that no person could be managing another person, because we should be the one to control ourselves.
After some brief explanation about MIS, sir Gamboa gave us an assignment which is the blog entry by making a reflection about MIS in 1000 words. Then we’re dismissed.
