“With your platforms, ABM express for activities, after doing all these sharing and evaluations, what is next? What will be the concrete application of these?“

(2/3)

#PresidentialElections2021

For the 2nd question, online distance learning platforms through design based advertisements ultimately depend on the creativity and ways students sell in Twitter posts and FB livestream.

#PresidentialElections2021

HAPPENING NOW: First Question of One for All (Special Segment)

“In your opinion, how important is the commitment of the Philippines to the Paris Agreement as a developing country?”

#PresidentialElections2021

SATUITO: I actually would be alright with the commitment because at least we get to learn from the people from the French.

#PresidentialElections2021

ARTETA: As a student and as a filipino, I feel like it's really beneficial to our country because it talks about climate change and our country's development. We also need to focus on our environment because it greatly affects our economic development.

#PresidentialElections2021

UY: I think it's crucial that the Philippines agreed since we are a developing country and with matters of global warming i believe that it is important to consider to join this agreement

#PresidentialElections2021

CAIDLANG: It's important to develop in ways through the Paris Agreement because we must protect our environment especially since we are living in a tropical country.

#PresidentialElections2021

MEDINA: It is very important and crucial because climate change affects everyone and I think that is crucial for the Philippines to join this Paris Agreement.

#PresidentialElections2021

RODRIGUEZ: It is important however it serves as a stepping stones from companies that they are responsible to do better.

“In your Project Kaagapay about mental health, as HUMSS Representative what implementations or policies do you propose at an administrative level?”

(1/3)

#PresidentialElections2021

ARTETA: In my previous candidacy as a Vice President, I said that I wanted a peer council project because I believe students are comfortable sharing along with the supervisions of the council.

(2/3)

#PresidentialElections2021

ARTETA: Project kaagapay adds more social interaction in the HUMSS strand. Having webinars, symposiums, and interactions, Humanistas can conquer and raise awareness of problems concerning mental health.

(3/3)

#PresidentialElections2021

“Aside from the Mental Health webinars, what else do you propose?“

ARTETA: I think current policies we have such as Academic Breaks. Since the current DLSU SHS SC President Franz Beltran said it helps fulfill the immediate needs of the students.

“HUMSS has been discriminated against and looked down upon, do you have any concrete plans to address this matter? How will this encourage others to join HUMSS“

(1/3)

#PresidentialElections2021

ARTETA: I believe that Project Mulat Bayan and Kamalayan which aims to add social awareness will be helpful in uplifting our strand.

#PresidentialElections2021

HAPPENING NOW: Second Question for One for All (Special Segment)

“If you are to be elected this year, how would you deal with your constituents asking you for a project or action that goes against your personal values?”

#PresidentialElections2021

ARTETA: I think every project will be for the student body. Even if the project is against my personal values but if it is in line with Lasallian values I will continue with that project because I know that it is beneficial for the student values.

#PresidentialElections2021

MEDINA: If a constituent were to ask me for a project which reflects values that goes against mine, I believe I would decline. However, if we were to discuss it further we might be able to reach a more amicable resolution.

#PresidentialElections2021

RODRIGUEZ: I believe that if ever there would be a project raised by my constituents that is beneficial for students, I believe that I would set my own personal values for the general welfare for the student body.

#PresidentialElections2021

UY: If it does go against my personalvalues but if it is for the betterment for the student body, I should not put myself first.

#PresidentialElections2021

CAIDLANG: As a leader, it's important to put your constituents first which sometimes also means putting your personal values aside. If they ask for a project against my personal values, then so be it. I will provide it for them.

#PresidentialElections2021

ORBINA: I am easy to talk to and even if it goes against my personal values but it is beneficial to the Lasallian community, then I will pursue it.

#PresidentialElections2021

SATUITO: I would really consider it even if it may go against my personal values, so long as it truly benefits the student body. If that would be the case, then I shall approve it.

#PresidentialElections2021

HAPPENING NOW: Q&A with SPT 12 Representative Candidate

#PresidentialElections2021

“As a student leader, how do you plan to promote mindfulness and discipline to your fellow students in an online set-up?”

#PresidentialElections2021
(2/2)

“How do you plan on helping you fellow SPT students address the problem of managing their time as both athletes and students?”

(1/2)

UY: Through my experience with my fellow athletes, a trait that we share is prioritizing our time. Focusing on different tasks at the same time would not work. Time management and focusing on oneself can lead to being a better individual.

#PresidentialElections2021

(2/2)

“Why do you think your position is important to the student body? And would you say you will be able to serve this position?“

(1/2)

UY: My idea of running is including every individual, in my case all of my classmates or my whole block. I want the whole SPT strand to be more recognized and be more included in all of the activities that the student council holds.

#PresidentialElections2021
(2/2)

HAPPENING NOW: Third Round of One for All (Special Segment)

#PresidentialElections2021

What are your thoughts on the “Men are Trash” movement?

#PresidentialElections2021

UY: Well as a male I don't want to seem biased, but being degraded as a human subjectifies the whole male gender and I completely disagree with this.

#PresidentialElections2021

SATUITO: The movement, from the name itself, I believe is very disrespectful and degrading for the men who genuinely help. I believe that this movement should not be existent at all.

#PresidentialElections2021

ORBINA: The ideology of this movement is actually based on the notion that men objectify women and I believe it is wrong especially because it focuses on objectifying someone based on their sexuality.

#PresidentialElections2021

MEDINA: I stand for men are trash, I don't mean every angle men are trash. However, it is such a significant amount that it affects a lot of people.

#PresidentialElections2021

RODRIGUEZ: I believe this movement stands for people who are objectified by men. This movement is good because it stands for everyone who was objectified and violated by men.

#PresidentialElections2021

CAIDLANG: I understand the women's sentiments because men's abuse goes far in history. I understand that this movement aims to empower women, and as a male I do not take this against me.

#PresidentialElections2021

ARTETA: I think this movement is an ideology that one can accept or reject. I don't think this movement promotes equality or social justice so I do not stand by it.

#PresidentialElections2021

TREASURER
HAPPENING NOW: Q&A with Treasurer Candidate

#PresidentialElections2021

#PresidentialElections2021

(2/2)

“Sponsorships have been viewed as possible sources of funding, but there are these things called contractualization which exposes our workers to unfair treatment and terms. Would you accept these sponsorships?”

#PresidentialElections2021

#PresidentialElections2021

HAPPENING NOW: Fourth Round of One for All (Special Segment)

#PresidentialElections2021

What does the passing of the SOGIE Bill entail and do you agree with its contents?

#PresidentialElections2021

CAIDLANG: The sogie bill is a way for the LGBT+ community to use their voice and empower each other. I fully support the LGBTQ+ community and this Bill.

#PresidentialElections2021

ORBINA: The SOGIE Bill includes all gender rights and so I believe that there are no reasons for it not to be implemented as it entails protection for everyone.

#PresidentialElections2021

RODRIGUEZ: I believe that we should all agree in the passing of this SOGIE Bill. It entails respect,mutual communion amongst everyone, and anti-discrimination.

#PresidentialElections2021

ARTETA: I think that the passage of SOGIE Bill should be passed in the Senate because it provides equality not only for the LGBTQIA+ community but also to everyone in this beloved country.

#PresidentialElections2021

MEDINA: The passing of the SOGIE is so important for everyone because everyone has SOGIE regarding what gender or regarding what they identify as.

#PresidentialElections2021

SATUITO: I really support the SOGIE Bill because equality is important and everyone deserves to live freely. I advocate this bill and promote it for everyone.

#PresidentialElections2021

UY: The SOGIE Bill entails the prevention of discrimination against a certain gender group, and I certainly agree with the passing of this bill since it provides equality for all genders.

#PresidentialElections2021

(2/2)

(1/2)

#PresidentialElections2021

#PresidentialElections2021

HAPPENING NOW: Fifth Round of One for All (Special Segment)

#PresidentialElections2021

HAPPENING NOW: Fifth Question for One for All (Special Segment)

What are your thoughts on the removal of the college entrance tests and instead using grades as a basis for college admission due to the pandemic?

#PresidentialElections2021

MEDINA: I think that it is unfortunate but it can't be helped due to the pandemic but I believe that entrance exams are better compared to our grades but it is unfortunate that we have to compromise with our grades right now.

#PresidentialElections2021

ARTETA: I agree with this because I believe we should take care and worry about our health first.

#PresidentialElections2021

ORBINA: These trying times, we cannot help but base it on grades. But, the school can strengthen the admission guidelines for the students.

#PresidentialElections2021

SATUITO: I do believe that college exams are the way to assess one’s knowledge but I believe that now, grades will be the most efficient way to assess one’s knowledge at this time.

#PresidentialElections2021

RODRIGUEZ: I believe removing it is removing the students chances of proving themselves worthy. I believe college tests should be administered in a stricter and more credible way.

#PresidentialElections2021

UY: Right now, it is the best strategy to assess one’s knowledge and it lets the students strive to get a higher grade.

#PresidentialElections2021

CAIDLANG: The removal of the college entrance test is just their way of adjusting to the online setup. I believe it is unfair for those who had to go through college entrance tests in the past.

#PresidentialElections2021

HAPPENING NOW: Q&A with Secretary Rodriquez

#PresidentialElections2021

Secretary Q&A: Rodriguez

“From being the HUMSS representative, among other positions in the student council, why did you choose secretary, and what would you say are your strengths?”

(1/3)

#PresidentialElections2021

RODRIGUEZ: Overseeing the student body is an unspoken job of a secretary, and with my current position which is HUMSS Representative, I believe that my skills are suitable for the position of secretary.

(2/3)

#PresidentialElections2021

RODRIGUEZ: Mas naniniwala po ako na there are better people or people more suitable for certain positions. I believe that my strongest point of being a multitasker is very efficient for this position.

HAPPENING NOW: Sixth Question for One for All (Special Segment)

Are all things political? Why or why not?

#PresidentialElections2021

RODRIGUEZ: I believe that everything is political even when it comes to simple household arguments because we have different views and perspectives.

#PresidentialElections2021

CAIDLANG: I also agree that all things are political in whatever context that may be since people always have different views on all matters. Even casual small talks with your peers may be considered as political.

#PresidentialElections2021

UY: I think that everything is political in a sense because any action that we do or conclusions that we reach can be political.

#PresidentialElections2021

SATUITO: I do believe that all things are considered political since we are able to create these intellectual discussions where we state our opinions and learn from the insights of others regarding the different opinions of others.

#PresidentialElections2021

ORBINA: Yes, I agree all things are political, any decision that we make is considered political. Actually, I believe that apolitical is a misused word because everything can be considered political.

#PresidentialElections2021

ARTETA: In this world, what we ask always is who gets who and who gets what and that is politics. What we do can affect people and that is what being political means.

#PresidentialElections2021

MEDINA: Yes everything is political, every move, every word, every action that we do influences the people of this country. So yes, everything truly is political.

#PresidentialElections2021

“Do you think and are you confident that your “mental health day” will be approved by the admin considering that we are already following mental health guidelines and protocols?“

(1/3)

CAIDLANG: I expected the raise of concerns regarding my second platform especially in the online set-up. It would take a lot of convincing towards the administration to make this work.

(2/3)

However, even if it is not approved, I will do my best to find other ways to implement this platform.

#PresidentialElections2021

(3/3)

“Which facebook page are you going to post the materials for your Project Engage?”

“The presidency is a big position to start with, why did you choose to run for president instead of running for ABM Representative since that is the strand you came from?”

(1/3)

CAIDLANG: When the COMSELEC opened positions, I realized that it would be the last opportunity for me to embark on this journey.

(2/3)

However, I want this to be a motivation for me to do better and be a better person. I know this is a really high position for me but I want to push my limits and I believe that I am capable of leading the student body.

#PresidentialElections2021

HAPPENING NOW: Seventh Round of One for All (Special Segment)

#PresidentialElections2021

"Describe your leadership style."

ORBINA: My leadership style is very approachable. I can answer inquiries of the student body and I can communicate to them well.

#PresidentialElections2021

UY: I would describe my leadership style as more of a hands-on or a participative leader because I like to engage and interact with my members to make sure they get to do what they have to do to accomplish our goal.

#PresidentialElections2021

ARTETA: I believe that I am a leader who is not only molded by words but also by experience. A leader who is molded by passion and open-mindedness to serve the student body.

#PresidentialElections2021

RODRIGUEZ: I believe that my leadership style is put up by my passion and determination to fulfill my duty to serve the student body and their general welfare.

#PresidentialElections2021

SATUITO: My leadership style is selfless. It would come to the point where I would be accountable and take into consideration the needs of my constituents instead of myself. I would make sure my members are doing better than myself.

#PresidentialElections2021

MEDINA: As I said earlier, my leadership style is very open, approachable and warm. I believe that this makes me an ideal leader who fulfills my exact tagline ang CASSama niyo.

#PresidentialElections2021

(3/3)

Question for Satuito: What makes your projects any different given that some of your projects are already mandatory?
