THE ANSWERS:
1.a For CAP, if ever you will win, what change can you make in CCS after one year? *CAP==College Assembly President
Lee Mojado, Tapat CAP Candidate:
"There are three thrusts that I tend to start next year. The first one is to heighten the sense of nationalism of CCS students through researching a new set of transformational and progressive curriculum that would make CCS students more aware of the national issues.Next would be to bring back that CCS pride through a showcase of our talents by joining different kind of cmpetitions and also making our MP's more known not only in our college but making it useful and accessible across the university and our nation. Lastly, as your Tapat leader we will continue to breed pro-people governance as we will protect your rights and fight for quality."
Glecer Bautista, Santugon CAP Candidate:
"As the College Assembly President, I will address the three main problems that we see for our college. First, our insufficient external linkages. We want to reinforce the External Affairs Office because it caters to needs of the students with regards to their OJT or future career oppurtunities. Second, the undergoing physical renovation and internal changing of the curriculum of our college. We will help the CCS Administration with this overhaul through involvement in the research and have intensive review for the curriculum in our college. And lastly, for the holistic development of our college by giving leadership congress that will help the non-member or non-official of any organization to hone their leadership skills because we believe we are all leaders on our own. At the same time, we will also consult the students and address the issues that arises."
1.c For LAReps, if ever you will win, what change can you make in the Student Handbook and the implementing rules around the University after one year?
Vic Aban, Santugon Catch2t11 L.A. Representative Candidate
"Well actually Andrew, the Student Handbook Revision is over for next year, but if possible, I will push for having the different organizations in our university to have an environmental project. Also after a year, we will push for a pro-student dress code wherein it will promote student's freedom of expression and will be less restricting to the students."
Ryvin Canido, Tapat Cath2t11 L.A. Representative Candidate
"The Student handbook revisions are closed for next year. student handbook is only open for revisions every three years. But with regards to what i mainly plan and push as of now is to lobby for the ratification of the USG, the removal of the dress code implementing guidelines, and continue to represent the batch in protecting their rights and welfare"
2. For all, if ever you will lose, what will you do after the elections?
Lee Mojado, Tapat CAP Candidate:
"A tapat leader will always be true to his platform. That is the main reason I am here infront of everyone hoping to pursue the presidency in the college of computer studies. In a case I do not get elected, yes I can still fight for my vision, but the SC is the ideal vessel to make those things concrete."
Glecer Bautista, Santugon CAP Candidate:
"Just in case I didn't get through in the elections, I will still push for the platforms that we presented through involving myself in the batch/college assembly. Also, we can present it to the administration. Because I believe that if the plans of actions are truly beneficial for the students why will it hinder you to push for it even you are not an elected officer."
Vic Aban, Santugon Catch2t11 L.A. Representative Candidate
"After the elections, I will still engage in different affiliations, whether SC or CSO, so I can still serve the students especially our batch in ways other than being an elected officer. I will also focus on my thesis since I'm in my third year next school year. It is a little bit personal but yeah, I will focus on my thesis since being a student is also my primary priority."
Ryvin Canido, Tapat Cath2t11 L.A. Representative Candidate
"Maybe i'll go back to being your regular ccs guy who knows nothing but basketball always waiting for LSAL games, but i believe that the regular ccs guy, is a better guy because once, there was one time where that guy believed in a change."
3. For all, give us ONLY ONE reason WHY WE SHOULD VOTE FOR YOU? *one word or one sentence will do.. :)
Lee Mojado, Tapat CAP Candidate:
"You shouldn't vote for me. This candidacy of mine represents a platform I believe in, a mission I want to achieve and a vision that will lead our country to success."
Glecer Bautista, Santugon CAP Candidate:
"Platform, experience, and passion for service."
Vic Aban, Santugon Catch2t11 L.A. Representative Candidate
"(I can't compile the reason that I will give to you in one word so sorry I this will be lengthy)
I will not answer why you should vote for me but I will answer why should you vote for DERECHO.
You should vote for derecho because we are pushing for a student council that will treat the students as the topmost priority of service. We have the determination and passion to voice out your concerns to the higher offices and affect a pro-student change in the Lasallian community. We are also bounded to be consultative, proactive and responsive brand of leadership. How can we be consultative? we will consult the students in every issue that will arise before making decisions and implementations around the school. We will also be open to you the students to be able to cater your concerns. How can we be proactive?Being proactive is acting on before the problem arrives. A concrete example is the Nookstore. We will provide student service through the nookstore like stocking up school supplies and also test booklets before an exam comes. How can we be responsive? Like what Aimee Chua did to the Monday Ubreak, she made several steps to push against the Monday Ubreak. She even brought it up to the admin just to postpone the said proposal. As your Santugon leaders, we will immediately act and respond once issues like the Monday UBreak arrives just to be of service to the students."
Ryvin Canido, Tapat Cath2t11 L.A. Representative Candidate
"I am trained from the Alyansang tapat sa Lasallista and i will fight for the platform of tapat which i believe is the best for the students, the platform that i believe can start the change."
