Chairpersonship in the USC is a Prototype for Future Governance
Posted on | February 17, 2010 | No Comments
Who to vote for the highest elective position in our national university’s student government is not a choice that is made at a whim; neither should it be based on the perceived “winnability” of a particular candidate, moreso if once he has been stripped of the gift of gab or the pleasantries of crisp clothes and catchy spiels, it shall be seen that he is inexperienced and detached from the realities of student council work.
The University Student Council (USC) is an institution that offers our generation a preview of who shall lead us at the national level around twenty years or so from today. Much like the republic’s Presidency, the Chairpersonship of the USC must be given only to those who have sincerely given their time and effort to truly represent constituents. Student leadership is not a controlled experiment wherein rhetoric can be tested and then discarded if found to be wrong. Every mistake in policy leads to ripple effects that have implications in the daily lives of students. These are the reasons why a track record and experience that is as close as possible to the desired office should be our guideposts in choosing our leaders.

- Writing out my Income Tax Return and having it filed makes me want to think (and rethink more) my choices for this coming May 2010 Election.
- I had this dream last night that it was snowing in Metro Manila. Seriously.
- @cholled napansin mo rin yung "passed out." :)
