General Assembly of Student Councils: Morning Session (April 14, 2009)

Now this is the day we’ve all been waiting for!

The assembly was set to start at an earlier time… but since the delegates from Visayas and Mindanao areas were still not present, the assembly started at 10am. 🙂

First, there was a roll call of UP Student Councils from UP Baguio to UP Mindanao. Then, there was an approval of the agenda, which is to select a Student Regent following CRSRS.

Then, Hon. Shahana Abdulwahid, presented a brief report of the 2008 Student Regent. Reading of CRSRS should follow but since everyone was provided with copies of it in the kit and since it would waste valuable time, the CRSRS was not read, as decided upon by the assembly.

After that was the presentation of the Vision-Mission papers of Student Regent nominees:

Charisse Bernadine I. Bañez
UP Los Baños

Victor Lorenzo L. Villanueva
UP Diliman

Everyone in attendance was also provided with copies of both papers in the kit. 🙂

Then came the system-wide deliberation process which consisted of grilling of the nominees with both of them present, then grilling of each individual. This is actually the best part. 😛

Several questions were raised… most of them are related to their mission-vision paper. 🙂

After the grilling of both nominees, we went out to have lunch. Yummy! At this stage, we’re already expert on guessing what our meals will be—chicken! 😀 Iloilo seems to be heaven for chicken meat lovers. 😀 The best meal actually for me is breakfast… because it’s served with hot Milo. 😀

Anyway, more pictures in my next posts.
