Vote Wisely, Vote our Party!

The election period is fast approaching. Candidates are already giving their COC(Certificate of Candidacy). Posters here, posters there, promises here, promises there, promises are everywhere. Their pictures are seen everywhere you go, hoping that people would remember them in the incoming election.

A candidate must first campaign for himself/herself or for his party. During the campaign period, a candidate must sponsor an activity or advertises himself so that he would be famous. Here in school, we are doing the same thing. I running for the position External Secretary of the Student Council School Year 2007-2008 exerted extra efforts in making the campaign successful.

Together with my party mates, we made a door-yo-door campaign to the whole campus. But unfortunately, we didn't make it to the fourth years because they had had their Physical Education Class . Nevertheless, on the second day, we approached some of them and gave them campaign paraphernalia like stickers, party logos, etc.

The next day, a Grand Student rally was held. Each of us introduced ourselves together with the platforms which the party made for the betterment of the student council. We presented it through an artistic presentation so that it would catch the student's attention and to make them listen to us. We assured them many things for the next school year. After of which, an open forum was held on the same day at about 5:50 in the afternoon so we have to hurry because we are running out of time because of our play in “Florante at Laura”. People asked questions but not that much. I have something to tell you about what happened to our play so you better watch out for my incoming posts.

Two days later, the election is about to start. I was not felling well that day so I decided to ask permission to go home because our house is very near from our school. But Madam Noreen Mercado, our school clerk, told me to go home after the election because my vote counts so I followed her. I went home after I voted and came back in the afternoon.

I was very glad about the results. I won the position and I also had the highest votes of 277. Chic Madonna Tambagan won the position of Chairperson, Camille Anne Garcia won as the Vice-Chairperson, Ynez Poslitico won as the Internal Secretary, Stacey Kay Fortuna as the Auditor, Leslie Adolfo as the Treasurer, McCherry Anne deLeon as the Third Year Representative, and the others.

I hope that we can do our best for the Student Council and do better next school year. We will try our best to improve as an individual as well as a student leader for the betterment of the Student Council and for the betterment of the school.

They say that our batch (SC) is strong. We promise to be wise, to be sensitive on the needs of the whole student body, and to be trustworthy of your votes. We are very glad so in behalf of the Student Council, thank you for your time and cooperation.

Help us make our school a better place to live and improve well. Let us work as a team and be united once more. Just tell us all your problems and we are very glad to help you and we are ready to support you with the help of the teachers and the whole student body. Good Day!
