CAMPAIGN PERIOD

Given almost one month of campaign period that started in the first week of October, they introduced themselves by creating their own video campaigns and postcards and were posted on their personal social media accounts.

Aimed to put the aspiring leaders under careful scrutiny, Miting de Avance was held online via Google Meet in the afternoon of October 12. This event was managed by the school’s COMELEC officers composed of Justin Nazi, Amrel Jose Villaruel, Daniel Lazibal, Jene Caryl Parala, and John Andrei Granada, together with Ms. Lady Lee Castillo, SC Deputy Adviser, and Ms. Maria Socorro Korionoff, newly-appointed School Head.

AUTOMATED ELECTIONS

This year’s SC Elections used Google Forms, the same as last school year’s elections, and the students were given a chance to vote from Oct. 25 to Oct. 29 at exactly 1:00 PM. The results were posted on the school’s official Facebook group on Oct. 29, 4 PM.

Oath-taking of the newly-elected officers was conducted on October 30. #
