SENIORS CAN VOTE!!!
Why Independent?
First, my principle dictates that I do not join pol. parties just so that I can use it as my political machinery. I respect the fact that political parties are formed to ensure leadership and ideological formation. If I joined last December, with only 2 months before the election, there will be no opportunity for this formation.
Second, my running as an INDEPENDENT Sanggu President is a statment that Sanggunian is for ALL of us, not only for the political parties.
What are my Plans for Sanggu?
1. Principled Leadership
It's disappointing that when we think of student leaders, Sanggunian doesn't come first into mind. I promise that I will fully commit my last remaining year in Sanggu. I may not be the popular candidate but I believe that popularity is not the measure of good leadership.
2. Transparent Representation
It's very simple - tell the students (USE THE PROMOBOARDS!) what is happening in the school committee meetings and the meetings with the Board of Trustess. Tell us how you are representing us. That way, the students can already tell their parents that there will be a 5% tuition fee increase next year.
3. Pro-Active Formation
As representatives of the student body, the Sanggunian is in the best position to help in designing the Integrated Non-Academic Program of Ateneo (e.g. InTACT, NSTP, JEEP, Immersion).
4. Socio-political Inolvement
Sanggunian should take the initiative in educating the students about the various socio-political issues of our nation. This does not only include talks and stands on the issues but a sustained fervor for involvement. This entails Sanggu officers who are both knowledgeable and immersed in these issues.
The most difficult question - Why?
I really believe that Sanggu should earn the trust of the students. My campaign is all about a Sanggu that speaks to the students. I am running because I believe that Sanggu is still worth investing in. Running as an independent candidate is difficult. But what I lack in loudness and in numbers, I make up for in heart and in dedication. I sincerely want to lead our Sanggunian. I have no political party interest, no self interest - only the interest of the students I represent.
