The Union of Students for the Advancement of Democracy, recognizing the challenged faced
by the student community and the Sanggunian, run in the Sanggunian General Elections,
believing that We Can Do Better, Together. We believe in a student government that is
oriented towards genuine democratic governance, one that addresses the needs of the
student body and the social community we belong to. Our Party thus runs in this elections with
an agenda to deepen democracy in every aspect. More than institution or process, we view
democracy as a way of life which must be embodied by those who strive for positions within
our student government.
Running for President, I envision a Sanggunian grounded on compassion and justice. Thus,
my plans for the Sanggunian are the following:
A. Creating a Student Government that Works for All
1. Opening spaces and facilitation dialogue between the Ateneo administration and
students for major suggested changes within the school (ex: 1.5 hour 4-day classes to reduce
expenses of going to school for 5 – 6 days, dress code, student–initiated facilities
improvement ie laboratory renovations and better internet services, mental health services,
enlistment, among others)
2. Department of Students Rights and Welfare (STRAW)
a. Institutionalization of student–centered mental health care and services in the
Sanggunian through the Commission on Mental Health to complement current university
services -- conducting needs assessment measures, surveys and focus group discussions
regarding causes of depression in campus, mental health awareness talks and workshops to
professors and administrators, and using these inputs to restructure the mental health
services in the Loyola Schools
b. Institutionalization of gender rights in the Sanggunian through the creation of the
Commission on Gender Equality to conduct gender sensitivity programs and events,
assessment of the possibility of gender neutral facilities and removal of dress code
c. Institutionalization of the STRAW Desk that receives concerns from the student body
(ie sexual harassment, academic concerns such as professors announcing exams less than 1
week before the date, & other actions that are contrary student rights guaranteed by the
Magna Carta)
d. Conducting of Magna Carta review to include provisions on gender rights, anti-sexual
harassment, rights of students with disabilities and special needs, among others
3. Student Consultation on Tuition Fee increase and Lobbying for Fiscal Transparency of
the Ateneo de Manila University
4. Expansion of financial assistance from the Sanggunian through printing / photocopying
subsidies, thesis and project grants, tuition subsidies in cases of immediate need (ie students
whose tuition financer suffer from sudden employment, terminal illness, or death), scholar org
subsidies, among others
B. Deepening Democracy
1. Ensure the implementation of Sectoral Representation through assisting the
organization and empowerment of sectors within the Ateneo Community
2. Democratizing Governance through Public Deliberation, Student Involvement, and Full
Transparency with Sanggunian Processes and Policies
3. Representation in School Councils and Committees of the Loyola Schools through
transparent and accountable appointment of Student Representatives to LS Councils and
Committees guaranteed by the Magna Carta and lobbying for additional seats in LS Budget
Committee and LS Agenda-Setting Committee
C. Bridging Campus Politics with Broader National Context

1. Creation of the Ateneo Task Force 2019 that advocates for truthful, transparent, and
inclusive elections grounded on political issues and sectoral concerns through information
campaigns, fora, and voter’s registration within the Ateneo
2. Conducting dialogues with student governments, youth movements, and basic sectors
that aims to potentially strengthen the Sanggunian network primarily in response to
sociopolitical issues
3. Creation of issue-based working groups on labor rights, rural development, gender
equality, federalism, and human rights, among others that fosters proactive interdisciplinary
response on sociopolitical concerns
a. Awareness: Social media and room to room information campaigns
b. Discussion: Opening spaces where the community can discuss points of action
(kapihans, FGDs, fora), policy lobbying in congress, and other forms of proactive dissent
(encouraging students to write to their government officials)
c. Mobilization: Demonstrations, rallies, and statement releases

PLATFORMS
Given the political unrest happening in our country now, we have to be more watchful and
critical. As a country, we are called to respond to our brothers and sisters victimized by
several human rights abuses, weakening checks and balances and the perpetuation of
misinformation. In the premise of our national administration that we are embedded in,
students and student leaders are called to be more critical and engaging to the climate of
Philippine society.
As the Union of Students for the Advancement of Democracy (USAD) believes in a student
government that is oriented towards genuine democratic governance, we are called to
recalibrate where the Ateneans are in the face of all this political turmoil. School-wide issues
such as sexual harassment, mental health, yearly University tuition free increase also call for
engagement and advancement. As an institution, the Ateneo also faced changes in its
systems fitted to the changes brought about by globalization and labor migration. This
incoming freshman batch are aligned under a new curriculum to suit the needs of the K-12
program. Given that we now have a more mature audience and a relatively new calendar,
advancing a new response for the country’s needs and the needs of the Ateneo will be more
effective.
The Union of Students for the Advancement of Democracy, recognizing the challenges faced
by the student community and the Sanggunian, run in Sanggunian General Elections,
an agenda to deepen our democracy in every aspect. More than institution or process, we
view democracy as a way of life which must be embodied by those that strive for positions
within our student government.
Recognizing all the responses we have to make inside and outside the Ateneo, here are my
proposed platforms:
A. Creation of committees that will formulate and review policies that the university,
assist individuals and groups and conduct public hearing with the student body:
1. Committee on Financial Aid
a. Shall formulate and review the Sanggunian’s policy for affording financial assistance to
students in need.
b. Shall assist students in need in accessing existing financial assistance mechanisms
within the University
2. Committee on Sectoral Representation
a. Shall formulate and review the Sanggunian’s policy for encouraging sectoral
representation in the student community
b. Shall assist individuals and/or groups in vying for sectoral representation in the
Sanggunian
3. Committee on Student Rights and Welfare
a. Shall formulate policy for the protection of Student Rights and Welfare in the University
b. Shall review the Magna Carta for Undergraduate Students’ Rights
c. Shall conduct public hearings on the current needs of students
d. Shall formulate a quantitative research output aimed towards the assessment of needs
of students in the university
4. Socio-Political Engagement Committee
a. Shall ensure that the Sanggunian is adequately responding to issues the Assembly
collectively agreed upon to engage.
b. Duties shall include, but will not be limited to, drafting and finalizing official statements
or stands, establishing partnerships with current advocacy-based student groups and ensure
that the Sanggunian is providing them adequate assistance in lobbying efforts, monitoring
quality and performance of task forces
B. Mandate Review of all Sanggunian Resolutions
i. There is an apparent need for resolutions filed before the
Sanggunian to be assessed after it has been passed. We need an implementing body to
C. Lobby for the Advancement of Labor Rights within the University
i. Open spaces for dialogue between the students, the
administration, and the workers and employees inside the university (ie. AEWU, JSEC
Workers, and Faculty Association).
D. Bridging Campus Politics with National Politics
i. Social Awareness and Engagement:
- Political education for Sanggunian officers
- Institutionalize a formation program for leaders
- Reevaluate of current Ateneo formation program (INAF)
Given the platforms that I will lobby for, should I become Vice President, I shall ensure that
the Sanggunian, especially the Central Assembly, remains faithful to the Constitution that
aims to forward pertinent resolutions, programs and stands.
Through my year as the Vice President, I shall continue to support political engagement and
research as attainable and sincere methods that fulfil the pursuit of democracy in the context
of student participation. Indeed, We Can Do Better, Together.

PLATFORMS
My experience holding several key positions in various organizations since freshman year has
equipped me with the required skills and knowledge to execute administrative work, manage
intra- and inter-organizational affairs, and spearhead large-scale projects. My stint as a
Course Representative this school year has also trained me in effective inter-party dialogue,
information dissemination, social engagement, and conflict management. It has also given me
insight on the various weaknesses of the Sanggunian as an institution that need to be
addressed immediately. As such, should I be elected Vice President, I will actively forward:
Data-driven and participatory governance

• By establishing a Committee on Campus Research that will conduct statistical surveys
and consultations with the student body in order to provide insightful data that will be used in
crafting Sanggunian’s policies and services
• By streamlining course representation to the Sanggunian with home organizations
• By streamlining information dissemination with home departments
• By updating the student body on Sanggunian’s financial standing, policies, activities,
and services through a monthly newsletter to be named Sanggunian Monthly
• By releasing the official minutes of all Sanggunian meetings to the student body to
ensure accountability and transparency
Efficient bureaucracy and principled leadership

• By lobbying for the implementation of a standard Code of Internal Procedures across
all School Assemblies
• By centralizing all Sanggunian committees to the Central Assembly
• By convening the entire Sanggunian every month to discuss important campus issues
• By training Sanggunian officers on policymaking, administrative work, and
organizational development and communication through workshops and seminars
• By educating Sanggunian officers on important social issues such as economic
inequality, bottom-up leadership, and sustainable development
Campus environmental sustainability

• By establishing a Committee on Campus Sustainability that will
• oversee the environmental impact of internal campus activities as well as the
compliance of student groups to the Ateneo’s environmental policies in partnership with OSA
and the Campus Sustainability Office (CSO)
• lobby for policies that concern environmental protection and awareness
• By creating a year-long project team on environmental education that will handle the
Ateneo Global Climate Change Week and environmental awareness campaigns in
collaboration with DENR-EMB, internal student groups, and civil society organizations
• By improving the existing Carpool Program of DSWS through research and increased
incentives in partnership with the CSO and internal student groups
Advancement of student rights and welfare

• By collaborating with the Associate Dean for Student Formation and the INTACT
Program for the implementation of forums and awareness campaigns on the Magna Carta of
Undergraduate Student Rights and the 2016 LS Undergraduate Constitution
• By coordinating with and promoting the interests of campus sectors seeking for formal
representation in the Sanggunian
• By lobbying for the creation of the Sanggunian Mental Health Desk that will aid and
assist students with mental health conditions on their concerns and needs
• By creating a Committee on SOGIE Affairs that will lobby for policies concerning
campus LGBTQ+ issues
Progressive and inclusive socio-political engagement
• By working closely with the President in forming Sanggunian’s stance on pressing
issues
• By implementing sociopolitical education forums and campaigns on pressing national
and global issues (such as charter change, gender discrimination, inequality) in partnership
with internal student groups, youth movements, political parties, and college student councils
• By expanding Sanggunian intercollegiate network by forming an alliance with other
college student councils for political initiatives such as public statement releases, online
campaigns, and mass mobilizations

PLATFORMS
SOSE Student Platform
Next year a good number of the current Sanggunian officers will be graduating while others
might not be running for any position, this will most likely cause a significant and negative
impact on the number of course representatives next year. It is important to note that the
current number of course representatives is already low to begin with. In order for those
students without course representatives to have a voice in the Sanggunian, I wish to develop
and set up an online platform for SOSE students to be able to raise their concerns and ideas.
Additionally, in instances of urgent issues, students will be able to request for a meeting with
their course representative or if they do not have a course representative, a meeting with me,
the SOSE representative or another elected member of the SOSE Sanggunian.
This platform should ideally be able to let the SOSE student body have a say in the affairs of
SOSE Sanggunian. They should be able to openly give critique and suggestions. I am
passionate in pursuing this because I strongly believe the constituents should have a say in
the endeavors of their student government. The constituents should be able to use their voice
in decision-making matters that affect all of them as students.
Training for Course Representatives
In line with the idea of being able to better accommodate the concerns of the constituents, I
want to initiate a system for new course representatives to be trained more efficiently. Well-
trained course representatives are a big part of the vision I have wanted to push for ever since
my first term as course representative. I envision this system as a partner-up between new
course representatives and veteran ones. This allows new course representatives to receive
one-on-one and hands-on training from more experienced representatives.
Through this training I envision the new course representatives to be better equipped in
handling situations that they may encounter throughout their term. They should be equipped
with the skills of policy writing, planning for projects, and developing ways to pursue the
interests of their constituents.
Better Promotion
One thing I have noticed as a course representative for 2 years is that most students do not
know what exactly the Sanggunian has power over. The student body is not completely aware
of what issues the Sanggunian can assist in. To address this, I wish to initiate a campaign to
let the students know what issues and concerns the Sanggunian can help them with. I
envision for this campaign to be both physical and online, and it should enumerate the issues
we handle. Examples of concerns the Sanggunian can help with are issues about professors,
appeals, etc. This campaign should also make sure to promote the contact details of the
SOSE Sanggunian.
This campaign is to ensure that as much students as possible know about the ongoing and
future endeavors of the SOSE Sanggunian. This is in the hopes that more students may be
able to participate in SOSE Sanggunian projects. By being relevant to majority of the student
body, SOSE Sanggunian will be able to achieve its goal of serving as many students as
possible.
Continuity and Transparency
It is also my goal to ensure the continuity of the projects of the current SOSE administration.
Alongside future projects, I wish for flagship SOSE Sanggunian projects, such as the SOSE
thesis subsidies and SOSE week, to not only be continued but also possibly be more
developed and better promoted.
Lastly, I plan for all the projects of the SOSE Sanggunian to be transparent to the student
body they serve. Regular updates on projects, meeting details, and expenses should be made
public to ensure that the SOSE Sanggunian is working in the best interests of its constituents
and that it is consistent in trying to achieve its goals.

PLATFORMS
Months of immersive participation in different organizations have taught me about the various
faces coexisting within the Loyola Schools. Through my work as a student journalist, I was
able to better understand the situations of the student groups in campus. As an organizational
head, I was able to discern the compatibility of the duty of leaders and the role of followers in
an institution. Most of all, as a course representative, I saw the potential of a greater
appreciation for the Sciences in molding the pioneers of tomorrow. With the technical skill and
the eagerness to instill reform, all while respecting the achievements of the past
administration, as SOSE Representative I will strive to put into effect the following…
1. Science for Empowerment.
a. SOSE must be able to continue its service in providing subsidies and grants that will
enable the students and organizations to conduct their dissertations and projects. The
members of the community must have the freedom to tackle their desired research areas, with
their interests honed in a supportive environment. SOSE is tasked to recognize its primary
role in facilitating initiatives to empower its members through the Sciences.
2. Student Support.
a. SOSE prides itself for having the biggest share of scholars in the University. Last year,
SOSE has already reached out to the scholars of the school to address their needs. This must
be complemented by the provision of aid through the allotment of budget for modes of
assistance such as printing and photocopying services.
3. Student-Department Partnership.
a. The students and departments must be able to establish a more cordial bond and
more transparent relationship. The school should provide mechanisms to allow student input
in evaluating laboratories and facilities to enforce stronger check and balance protocols. The
departments are also expected to provide updates to inform the student body of the current
thrusts and strategies.
4. Scientific Publications.
a. Since dissertations and projects are the products of an undergraduate degree in

SOSE, the school should consolidate information in order to create manuals for students to
become more aware of the various scientific journals that may publish their researches. This
is to foster competence and competitiveness in the studies conducted by students.
5. Science Communication.
a. A newsletter is to be issued for the Ateneo community to peer into the various
scientific investigations undertaken by the students and faculty
comelec.ls@obf.ateneo.edu
members. The newsletter may serve as a model for students to continue their support for
particular topics, which may eventually become research areas of the school.
6. Sustainability Efforts.
a. SOSE must exert greater effort in upholding sustainable activities that will not be
detrimental to the environment. Waste management practices in the campus must be re-
evaluated with the joint coordination of the Sanggunian, student organizations, and the
administration. In addition, the Ateneo Global Climate Change Week should once again be
used as a platform for the Ateneo community to be in greater solidarity with the environment.

Skills Fluent in English and Filipino, I have considerable communication skills. I can
conduct qualitative social science research and have basic knowledge on
quantitative methods. I engage in short-term volunteer work and developed a
sense of efficiency and sensitivity that is needed when working with other
people. I have a steady grasp on MS Office. I am well-versed with technical,
research and creative writing. Overall, I am resilient, conscientious and
organized and can work well individually as well as in groups.
Interests I listen to music, run, and engage in volunteer work in my spare time. I enjoy
reading magic realism and nonfiction. Food, culture, history and philosophy
are greatly interesting to me.
PLATFORMS
There is a realization of the salience to speak up, to engage, and to mobilize our causes
because we are in the position to do so. And we choose to do so, given the responsibility that
comes with it. It is meaningless, therefore, to begin with a hardened heart and swollen ears;
for these render us angry and spiteful to a system that had resulted in past struggles. To
enact change, we must discourse as much as we discern. We need humbled eyes and an
open mind, to peek at the corners and crevices where infinitesimal hope resides – and grow
from there.
Yet situating this in our socio-political context proves to be difficult. The politics of the Duterte
administration is characterized by lawless violence, black propaganda, and antagonisms
between political parties. Exploitation all the while continues. What is more is that these are
problems that have characterized the Martial Law. Where can the School of Social Science
seek hope in a time of a declining economy, of ineffective development policies, and of
contentious politics?
I envisage a School of Social Sciences that locates hope within its own potential. By having
the reflexivity to identify manifestations of these issues in our own school, we can then enact
magnanimous change. As the SOSS Representative, I will push for action on both campus
and national issues. This can be done by leading a SOSS government that is efficient,
resilient, organized, and conscientious. I will ensure that the decisions made in the Central
and School Assemblies will be reflective of the concerns and opportunities of each SOSS
course.
In line with the current Sanggunian’s vision of a sturdy support for student organizations, push
for sectors’ representation, and heart of change, I will do my part to incentivize continuity and
enact change where it is needed.
Platforms
Continuity and Improvement
Currently, there is a SOSS Council that gathers SOSS home organizations’ presidents to
facilitate exchange and possible joint projects between these organizations and the school.
The Bakas ng Dahas campaign was a result of this. Taking this into account, the SOSS
Council shows achievements and corresponding potentialities. I will ensure that its continuity
will involve more projects that encourage cooperation among SOSS organizations. On the
other hand, The SOSS subsidies are effective means to help the constituents with its
research. Information dissemination between the Sanggunian and its constituents have not
been perfect, so while there is unrestricted access to these resources, they remain unknown
to many. On this note, I hope to facilitate a more active relationship between SOSS and its
constituents through better dissemination of information regarding aid and projects that can
help the latter and in turn, strengthen the latter. Finally, the ongoing Loyola Schools campaign
against sexual harassment has been an effective means to educate the community. I will
ensure its continuity and concretize access to materials that can protect and educate the
constituents.
Engagement of Constituents through Output-based Progress
The engagement of the students in the Sanggunian’s projects is vital because latter exists to
empower, represent, and address the issues of the former. As my rule as SOSS
representative, I will see to it that current and future projects of the SOSS Sanggunian will
have concrete output so that effectivity, efficiency and participation can be measured. On
another note, I will spearhead projects that cater to the specific interests and advocacies of
the SOSS courses. I will encourage research concerning labor, rural development, gender
equality, and other domestic issues that confront Philippine democratic life. By doing both
these things, I aim to foster greater participation from the constituency.
Awareness Education
It is incontestable that the issues that affect us daily are those that fall under the domain of
social sciences. This is not to say that other schools are not affected; rather, the political,
social and economic issues that confront the constituency and the whole of the LS community
fall directly into the fields of study under SOSS. By this, I hope to facilitate discussion among
the constituency about current issues in the Philippines and provide perspectives from
different courses. By this, I hope to encourage a more holistic and discursive approach to
issues. This can be done, for instance, by organizing discussion sessions and spearhead the
production of outputs from these that can inform the rest of the community.

PLATFORMS
Should I be elected SOH Representative, I will actively forward:
Humanities in Practice
● By reviewing and reforming the INAF (INTACT, NSTP, JEEP) curriculum to better
accommodate the unique skills and interests of humanities students
○ The current INAF program can be tailored to better serve the development of
Ateneans as students of the humanities. I propose that the JEEP curriculum of
humanities students be altered to use their own discipline-specific skills in
existing JEEP areas. This curriculum change is one that looks forward to a
humanities-specific JEEP experienced in specialized areas wherein the
practice of humanities-related skills in itself is impactul to the partner institution.
○ JEEP output in particular should contribute something valuable to the partner
institution, in the form of a project proposal or points for the area’s
improvement for the mutual benefit of the student and partner institution.
● By offering regular student-led study sessions on interdisciplinary topics and how
they relate to the humanities and Filipino culture. Insights can be used as discussion
points for town hall meetings, which can be integrated periodically with the study
sessions.
○ Starting an Online Repository for readings and thesis papers for community
benefit
A Limitless SOH
● By establishing semestral Master Classes on specialized topics for humanities
subjects (Filipino, Theology, Philosophy, Creative Writing, Theater Arts, Information
Design, Art Management) in order to demonstrate how the humanities can be related
to other fields of study, or alternatively, how they can be related to timely socio-political
or cultural happenings
● By connecting and consulting with SOH students, humanities-oriented and
humanities-related organizations and Ateneo offices in order to to get a more
definitive pulse of the School of Humanities and what we can do for them. Through
extensive consultation, we may be able to achieve a more democratic student
government.
● By promoting SOH programs to students of other schools as potential double
major and minor courses which can serve to supplement and enrich their studies in
their own fields
● By pushing for the inclusion of more options for SOH students at the career fair
● By establishing a Student Opportunities committee, to be headed by the course
representatives, whose goals would be to actively search for offices or professors
within the Ateneo seeking assistance with research or other such tasks. These
opportunities will be disseminated to the student body by the Sanggunian.
Advancement of student rights and welfare

● By establishing a curriculum review and tuition receipt review campaign
○ A Grievance Committee, headed by the course representatives, will receive
and forward concerns to the pertinent offices. Results will be disseminated
through the Sanggunian’s social media channels.
● By ensuring that all SOH students are able to access their syllabi before the start
of classes despite problems with enrollment, through the proposed Online
Repository
● By expanding the Sanggunian Subsidy System to provide for common school
materials such as readings, blue books, and FA materials
● As a Central Assembly member, by pushing for a Student Rights and Welfare
Committee tasked to advance and formulate further policy for the protection of
Students Rights and Welfare in the University.
Progressive and inclusive socio-political engagement

By implementing socio-political education forums which center on the impact of political
happenings on the Filipino people and on their way of living, on mental health awareness and
on gender sensitivity.

Skills
I like getting involved in organization work. I enjoy project planning, working
with and building on ideas of my teammates. In solving problems, I gather
the necessary data, and find trends and patterns to get the solution. In
accomplishing org work, I think of ways on how to make the tools we use to
be more efficient.
Interests I advocate for societal development in a business context.

PLATFORMS
Vision
Responsible Business Leadership. The vision for Ateneo School of Management
majors is to be enablers of change by thriving in their respective fields, and directing action
towards social development. As a community, SOM should foster an environment that is
conducive to effective discussion, innovation, and actualization of ideas. This year,
SOM Sanggunian will be a catalyst of this vision through collaboration, promotion of
advocacies, and support provision.
Collaboration
SOM is composed of competent individuals, who direct creativity using structured
thinking and problem-solving. It is composed of students coming from different and rich
management backgrounds. The SOM Sanggunian will be a place wherein they can engage
each other, and come up with multidisciplinary solutions to problems. The Sanggunian will
also provide opportunities to work with organizations within and without Ateneo for students to
affect change.
1. SOM majors will be at the forefront of Sanggunian’s ideation. They will be given the
platform to voice out what kind of community they want to develop. Establishing a
participatory government at the start will give them higher value as stakeholders.
2. SOM majors are known to be analytical and solution-oriented. With this, the vision of
the Sanggunian will be concretized through programs and projects organized and
headed by them. Teams will be composed of students from different courses,
enriching the project with multiple perspectives and skillsets.
3. Given that Business Cluster Organizations provide valuable services to SOM
students, it is right that the Sanggunian will work hand-in-hand with them to further
their cause. Vision Setting and consolidation of efforts will promote the spirit of
collaboration, and create lasting impact, given that the SOM Sangguinan will
capitalize on their strengths.
4. Establishment and strengthening of relationships between School of Management,

and organizations, institutions and corporations outside Ateneo is key to open up
avenues for students’ career growth and development.
5. Opening communications and re-establishment of relationships with different
universities are needed to facilitate exchange of ideas, and collaborate on
projects which promote similar visions.
Advocacies
SOM students has within them the awareness and urge to participate in relevant
issues. The SOM Sanggunian will enable them to deeply understand and to have a more
active role in these engagements.
1. The SOM Sanggunian will raise awareness on and support the advocacies of
Business Cluster Organizations through unified projects. The SOM Sanggunian
will provide opportunities for students of different courses to participate in the
promotion of these advocacies. This is to approach projects in an interdisciplinary
way.
2. The SOM Sanggunian will be responsible in establishing a program which
encourages and supports the projects of individual SOM students which are
geared towards creating sustainable social impact.
3. To effectively facilitate discussions of topics of interest, the SOM Sanggunian
will create new platforms and re-invent existing current ones. This is to further
promote critical thinking on concerns that are usually out of sight.
Support
As students, SOM majors require support to fully reach their potential. The SOM
Sanggunian will provide for their pertinent needs, and further improve what is currently being
offered. It will be a safe space for students to raise their concerns, and will be a starting
point to fully resolve them.
1. The Sanggunian Subsidy System in place will be strengthened to fund academic-
related work, member formation projects of Business Cluster Organizations, startups,
and student initiatives that are for community development.
2. The SOM Sanggunian will encourage Responsible Business Leadership through
application in JSEC stalls, SOMBA, and other startup businesses in Ateneo. It will
promote effective business management by giving support in the processes within
the school.
Action Points
To be able to realize this vision for an empowered SOM Sanggunian, concrete
effective actions points must be done.
1. Sanggunian’s lack of presence is a recurring. In trying to solve this, the SOM
Sanggunian will analyze and evaluate the current communication channels, try to
improve them, and tap into new ones as to have a more effective information line.
2. In a participatory government, representation is an important key for it to be
effective. This year, the SOM Sanggunian will strive to complete seats in the
school assembly. With this, dissemination of information will be made easier and
more impactful.
3. The Sanggunian plays an important role in providing services or students. This is
why it is vital that its members are trained, and empowered. This year, the SOM
Sangguian will coach its members, and give them proper avenues to be independent.

Skills Having had past leadership experience in high school as a team captain, I
am trained to handle large amounts of stress from multiple projects while
remaining level-headed and accommodating to the people I serve. More than
anything, however, I am a very energetic and hardworking leader who strives
to always be there to boost the mood of my peers in both good and bad
times. Meanwhile, as a writer, I am very experienced in the fields of editing
and article-writing, having been the associate editor of my school newspaper
in the past, and having most recently worked on multiple articles and event
coverages under Matanglawin.
Interests Aside from writing and reading, watching and making films is my passion. I
am also a fervent advocate of LGBTQ+ rights, women’s rights, and mental
health.
PLATFORMS
Should I be elected Course Representative, my ultimate focus will be to survey the

situation of my course mates via online survey forms and gather their views on their
experience in the course as well as certain points of improvement in the curriculum that I
can bring up to the department. Simultaneously, I will push for a more inclusive career fair
for CW Majors in light of current stigma against the course, and will strive to bridge my
course mates with internships that can help them gain job experience as early as possible.
Aside from being the official liaison officer between my course mates and our home
department (as well as other university units), I will also represent my constituents within
the campus political scene by actively forwarding their concerns and interests to our
elected School Representative. In order for this to be possible, I will (1) establish a fully
accessible online feedback system, (2) maintain constant communication with my
constituents through consultations and online communication means, and (3) participate
actively during Sanggunian meetings and planning seminars and ensure that the rights and
interests of my constituents will be given priority. I will also actively disseminate
announcements and minutes of meetings from Sanggunian to my constituents as well as
other year levels in my course with no representative. Furthermore, I will aid and participate
in the committees and other task groups in my school to the best of my ability. In order to
address the problem of lack of official representation to the Sanggunian in my course, I will
actively lobby to my home organization a scheme where members of the organization will
be seated in the Sanggunian as Course Representatives.
In addition to the obligations of a Course Representative to disseminate information and
ensure representation of my course, I will also conduct several political education sessions
for my course mates in order to engage them in discourse about pressing sociopolitical
issues (especially on culture, literature, and the arts), and to maximize their potential as
productive members of the university and the society at large. I will also actively forward
CW Praxis by offering regular student-led study sessions on interdisciplinary topics and
how they relate to our course. To do this, I plan to help start a digital library for readings
and other literary works and partner with other SOH course representatives in pushing for
inter-humanities electives.
Lastly, I will actively forward the advancement of student rights and welfare by
collaborating with Humanities-related organizations in pushing for Creative Writing
Workshops, lobbying pro-SOH policies in the Student Rights and Welfare Committee, and,
most importantly, coordinating with and promoting the interests of campus sectors seeking
for formal representation in the Sanggunian

Skills As a leader of several teams, I have used my interpersonal skills to develop
efficient project management systems and to find simple innovative solutions
to problems. I have experience in hosting and interviewing high-profile
individuals. I also have a background in developing urban plans for cities and
in proposal making for sustainability case competitions.
Interests Although I am a proud introvert, I have always had a passion for public
speaking and debating ever since I was in high school. This has influenced
my love for working with teams and in reading articles and books on current
affairs. I am also an avid fan of productivity, math, and basketball. More than
anything else, I keep the Ateneo and its values close to my heart because an
Ignatian education—motivated by generosity, compassion, and servant-
leadership—continuously guides me in every part of my life.
PLATFORMS
As a member of the Union of Students for the Advancement of Democracy (USAD), I believe
in realizing a more inclusive and politically-engaged student-body in light of these disturbing
times of turmoil that threaten the basic freedoms of Filipinos.
As Course Representative for BS Management Engineering, I hope to envision a more

engaged, innovative, and sustainable community of critically-minded business students to
bridge the gap between the Sanggunian, members of the Management Engineering
Association, and different sectors that deserve the right to be represented. Through my
tenure, I hope to work towards a more socially-conscious form of corporate knowledge that is
in touch with the realities of the marginalized and discriminated. By being critical of the
entrenched hypocrisies within the business world, we may be able to be more equipped in
fighting against social injustice.
Grounded on a call for humility and compassion, I wish to approach all of these with an open
mind geared towards reforms and growth while representing the different interests of the
student body as effectively as possible.

Skills I exercise quality in my work. Furthermore, I work well under pressure. I think
on my feet without sacrificing the quality of my work. I also spend a lot of time
thinking of ideas.
Interests I enjoy communicating with others; I love having conversations, I write, and
play many sports: tennis, basketball, football, etc.
PLATFORMS
To Communicate
Communication is important for any group/organization to succeed. Not many people are
aware of what the Sanggunian (Sanggu) is. Thus, there is a need for a better system of
disseminating information. This may be done by connecting Sanggu to the communication
systems of the Management Engineering Association (MEA). For example, Sanggu related
posts that are relevant to the sophomore MEA batch can be posted in MEA’s Facebook
group. Meetings between course representatives and 2YDCs should also be held so that all
issues of the sophomore batch are addressed, and all needs are met. Lack of
communication between 2YDCs and course representatives has been an issue in the past,
and must be addressed. Furthermore, the course representatives can also be in contact with
the organizations block representatives. This will ensure more direct communication.
To Unite
Unison will focus on two aspects. First, there should be unity between Sanggu and MEA.
Again, this can be done by active communication between the two groups (e.g. 2YDCs and
course representatives working together). Furthermore, course representatives can also
meet with the 2YDCs when it comes to matters that concern the batch. Through this, their
constituents could be served better. The course representatives may also be allowed to help
out in the batch projects held by the organization.
To Encourage Participation
Participation starts by ensuring that all members within the batch are made aware of what
they can do for the school, for Sanggu, and/or for MEA. From this, the members of the
sophomore batch can decide on what they want to do. Talks about the different projects can
be held so that freshmen can get more motivated to work for projects of the Sanggu, and/or
MEA.
To Support
Management Engineering is difficult in itself. Thus, systems should be in place to ensure
that members of the batch know that they have a good support system behind them. This
can be done by ensuring org-based support (through working with 2YDCs), or by giving the
sophomore batch other options outside of the org (counseling, career talks, etc.).
To Empower
Empowerment starts when individuals discover themselves, and find out what their skills and
passions are. It also comes with them knowing what they can contribute to the communities
they are a part of. Thus, workshops and opportunities inside the org and outside the org
could be given to the sophomore batch of MEA.
Overall, all the statements above are for the goal of ultimately empowering every member of
the sophomore batch of MEA. This is so they all could realize their potential as individuals,
and as a batch.

PLATFORMS
1. Academic Support. Bachelor of Arts in Life Sciences is admittedly a challenging

course in terms of the academic difficulty level and workload, placing a one of the honors
courses in the Ateneo. As representatives of the course to the Sanggunian, more avenues
should be provided in order to effectively improve the quality of the course through student
and department feedback and review.
a. Course Evaluation. In order to properly address academic concerns related to
workload and majors, regular feedback and assessment of the course and its subjects
must be practiced. Additionally, the evaluation would also include teacher and syllabi
assessment in order to provide an overview on the effectiveness of the subject
requirements and the class environment. This entails the practice of open communication
with the teachers and transparency on the subject performance based from constructive
feedback from the students.
b. Laboratory Equipment Survey and Catalogue. Coordination with the laboratory
technicians and department to create a proper catalogue of the laboratory equipment .
This would determine what resources the course lacks or needs to be improved.
c. Resource Site. Coordination with the Department of Academics of Ateneo BOx in
order to provide resources for the students, such as course syllabi, reviewers, etc.
2. Student Concerns. It is a must to invest on addressing different student concerns
within the batch. In order to bring up these concerns, proper communication must be
executed between the parties in order to give light and context to current situations.
a. Student Concerns Form and Consultation. Utilization of current technology in
collection and archiving of student concerns that may be directly addressed or relayed to
concerned parties or individuals. An online form would be made available for Biology-
specific and Life Sciences-specific concerns and consultations.
b. Stakeholders Database. A database on who to contact for certain concerns may be
put up in order for students to clearly recognize who to approach in the department.
3. Internalization and Externalization. Proper communication and relationship must be
established within and outside the course in order to utilize the assets of each.
a. Coordination with the Biology Department, Ateneo Biological

Organization - eXplore. eXperience. eXcel., and School of Science and Engineering
Sanggunian. A course representative would act as a link for students with the department,
home organization, and Sanggunian. This link would be utilized in order to externalize the
efforts and improve the relationship of all parties.
b. Graduation Preparation. In order to help in the discernment process and enrich the
students of the available opportunities the course may offer, several professional
development series may be executed such as, but not limited to, the following:
i. Specialization Information Primer and Prospectus Dissemination
ii. Preparation and Assistance in Resume Building and Applications for Masterals,
Medical Admission Tests, etc.
iii. Database on the Fields, Jobs or Careers of Biology and Life Sciences Alumni
iv. Batch Database or Directory

course, I will actively lobby to my home organization, Ateneo Environmental Science Society,
a scheme where members of the organization will be seated in the Sanggunian as Course
Representatives.
In addition to the constitutional obligations of a Course Representative, I will also conduct

several political education sessions for my course mates in order to engage them in discourse
about pressing sociopolitical issues (such as global climate change, mining, and sustainable
development) and to maximize their potential as productive members of the university and the
society at large. I will work with the School Representative as well as the Vice President in
making sure that my constituents are actively participating in the various initiatives of
Sanggunian.

PLATFORMS
In my opinion, the Sanggunian has been doing a good job of taking care of the students as
well as giving them a voice. I think though that I would like to focus more on student
involvement and interaction with the student body. I feel that people should know that they
have a voice in this, and that their wish to be heard shall not go unrecognised. The platform I
am presenting is one with more student involvement and one where each student feels like
they have a hand and say in the student body.
As I am running for course representative for a relatively small or unknown course with few
student members, I feel like this platform should focus on showing them that they are still an
integral member of the student body considering that given the situation, these people may go
unnoticed at times. I feel like with the small number of course members, it gives a good
perspective into their opinions. This then allows them to have an equal say as other more
prominent courses, giving them the confidence and the knowledge that what they are part of
the big picture. I see this as an opportunity to give more opportunities and for them to feel that
they have an impact.

also able to allocate tasks according one’s particular skills. I am an adept in
public speaking. I am proficient in both English and Filipino. I exercise

Interests I enjoy writing ideas down when I have the free time. I read books of different
genres, but I personally favor mystery/thriller, law, fiction, and classic books. I
also like making music and collaborating with other musicians to make songs.
I love engaging in political discourse with peers and at times with the adults in
my family.
PLATFORMS
The Course Representative’s role is crucial in realizing this as it is mandated by the
Constitution to not only act as a liaison between my constituency and department, but also in
formulating and implementing policies, stands, resolutions, and programs on the
Sanggunian’s behalf.
In the previous school year, our collective campaign worked towards promoting engagement,
inclusivity, and transparency within the Sanggunian. Admittedly, doing so has been difficult
given the constantly changing campus climate; however, we will not stop at where we are. In
addition to the aforementioned goal, we will also vie for an advocacy-based, awareness-
inclined, and action-oriented course through the initiatives of our home departments in
conjunction with the projects of the Sanggunian. In line with these goals for the following
school year, I will initiate the following projects:
1. PROJECT POSIBLE: A charity fundraising project to be initiated by Political Science
majors late in February. This project will focus on catering primarily to victims of recent
calamities such as those affected by the eruption of Mt. Mayon, the displaced denizens of
Marawi, and the victims of Typhoon Vinta in Mindanao. Aside from this, PROJECT POSIBLE
will also aim to collaborate with various organizations within the Loyola Schools to push
forward key advocacies such as mental health awareness, child education and recreation,
human rights, and healthcare through its prospective projects. This initiative will aim to
continuously produce projects in order to help many charitable organizations and communities
in need of aid. PROJECT POSIBLE will also aim to provide a response to the ever-changing
political climate through the organization of various fora (ranging from issues like charter
change, federalism, the Bangsamoro Basic Law, Philippine sovereignty, press freedom, etc.)
and inclusive discourses with relevant stakeholders.
2. VOCES – An attempt at establishing feedback mechanisms between my constituency
and home department by initiating to voice out feedback or complaints to the concerned
offices. It will enable the course representative to actively gauge with students and coordinate
with the different offices in the Loyola Schools, especially the Department of Political Science.
This initiative has three
phases: gather feedback or complaints from constituents or other concerned students,

forward feedback or complaints to concerned offices for immediate action, and record the
response of offices for the information of concerned constituency or individuals. VOCES will
be implemented through the creation of an online form for feedback of all Loyola Schools
facilities and programs. Responses to said form will be collected every two weeks from its
implementation. The responses will then be processed for prompt forwarding to the concerned
office in person. An audiovisual response will then be recorded that will be edited and posted
to course groups and public pages in response to various student inquiries.
3. JUST POS FOR A MINUTE – A student welfare campaign that aims to provide
students means to destress themselves from academic or extra-curricular activities. For the
duration of the project, rooms will be reserved to hold destressing activities such as film
viewings, board games, card games, meditation, etc.
4. COMPOSE – An advocacy open microphone event hosted by AB Political Science
(and other potential collaborators) in response to the government’s attempt at silencing the
freedom of the press. This aims to exercise participant’s creativity and self-expression through
various artistic compositions as well as spread awareness in regards to the institutions that
keep our democracy in check.
5. KAPIHAN SESSIONS – an initiative that aims to improve sociopolitical engagement
within the student community through discourse with experts in the fields of law and politics,
professionals in government service, and non-government/non-profit organizations for a better
grasp of the current political landscape and the national situation. These Kapihan Sessions
will be spread throughout the school year so as to respond to concurrent political realities.
This campaign comes with a promise to do more for the course and for the collective good of
the social community we all belong to. As an aspirant for the office of the Course
Representative, I shall aid in the engagement of students to participate in the discourse for
change, promote the inclusion of students in our continued effort to build up our democracy,
and ensure that the student governance remains truthful to the letter of the Constitution and
remain transparent in its execution. However, this campaign cannot be achieved without your
collective participation in the effort to build our course into a course that focuses on advocacy-
building, initiates discourse leading to political awareness, and incites socially inclined positive
action.
Together, let us work towards a genuinely representative and independent Sanggunian.
Together, let us deepen our democracy.

PLATFORMS
The Union of Students for the Advancement of Democracy (USAD) believes in a student
government that is oriented towards genuine democratic governance, one that addresses the
needs of the student body and the social community we belong to. Our Party thus runs in this
elections with an agenda to deepen our democracy in in every aspect. More than an institution
or process, we view democracy as a way of life which must be embodied by those that strive
for positions within our Student Government.
This necessitates a genuinely representative Sanggunian, one that recognizes the need to
understand the development process and addresses issues of development. The Course
Representative’s role is crucial in realizing this for the Course Representative is mandated by
the Constitution to act not only as a liaison between my constituency and department but also
in formulating and implementing policies, stands, resolutions, and programs on the
Sanggunian’s behalf.
As the 2 European Studies Course Representative, I shall act in my capacity as a liaison by
supporting the projects and initiatives of the Union and of the Sanggunian; to contribute in the
formation of resolutions and healthy discussions on prevalent issues and discussions within
the Ateneo community and beyond, and be a representative of my course in multiple ways in
which, that are beneficial to the course members as well as others in the community.
As a Course Representative, I shall ensure that the Sanggunian, especially the School
Assembly, remains faithful to the Constitution as it is concerned with the Sanggunian’s
resolutions, policies, programs, and stands. I shall ensure that it adheres to the aims of the
Sanggunian as written in the Constitution.
Through my tenure, I shall advocate for a more representative and independent Sanggunian
through the pursuit and practice of social democratic ideals, hoping to fulfill the project of
deepening democracy in the student community.
