FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Nakuuuuu! As if naman may magtatanong pa diyan! Pero bago pa man may na sumulpot at mamilosopong "Eh ako, marami akong tanong tungkol sa website," heto na po ang mga sagot sa tanong.


1. WHAT IS ACMG?
Here is the answer from an old freshman survival kit... 

"We don't require THAT MUCH FOR each member"? Sinungaling na, wrong grammar pa. Hehehehe. Di bale. 

2. WHY "BINTANA"?
Bintana is tagalog for WINDOW. (ACMG's old logo used to be one of a candle on a stained glass window, hence the significance.) I'm not too sure what the logo is today. Anyway...
Bintana was also the name of the ACMG newsletter circa 1991 or 92. It had a lifespan of about 2 issues if I am not mistaken. Hopefully this website takes off where the newsletter never did.

3. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE FIRST ACMG WEBSITE?
After a rather short lifespan of a few months in 1998, then-webmistress Anne Mendoza had to take care of other things. The original website has lain dormant and untouched since then. 

4. SO WHY'S IT ALIVE AGAIN?
There has always been a need for communication and connection between alumni. The need was just ignored for a while. After a chance encounter between six ACMG alumni last November 20, 1999, the need for a website and for a mailing list was once more vocalized.

5. AND WHY ARE THERE ALL THESE TRIPOD POP-UPS?
Bintana is hosted on a free server called Tripod.com. If you don't like the pop-ups, minimize them from the start (or put them in the background). Sorry, I happen to like Tripod, and the fact that we get our own cool domain name like bintana.tripod.com.

6. CAN I ENJOY THIS WEBSITE EVEN IF I'M NOT FROM ACMG?
Of course you can. But it might be pointless to look at the Alumni Photo Album though.
