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

After the break, we started the grilling of individual nominees. First came Chaba... then Bikoy. Each session lasted for an hour and 30 minutes. With a break in-between. The grilling part was very entertaining and education as well.

After that came dinner combined with the decision-making part. Each unit has to come up with their vote... and that lasted for almost 2 hours. After dinner, each autonomous unit gave 2 votes and each regional unit gave 1 vote. It was really a unanimous decision... for Chaba. :D What a victory! She really got the mandate of all the units... :)

The nominees were then asked to go in and the "winner" was declared. :) Then came the initial consultation with the Student Regent-Select then picture-taking sessions followed by the UP Naming Mahal. :)

What a day! The GASC was a success and we ended at 10pm. We're happy because we got it finished in a day... that means our next 2 days are free!!! :D

After the assembly, my friends and I decided to eat at OMPS (O Maria Patawarin nyo Po Sila)... and the UPM delegates followed after. hehe. We were all hungry after such a long day.

I think I ordered Chicken Inasal... with mushroom soup. Their mushroom soup has sesame oil on top of it. Weird right? But they don't use fish sauce there as one of their condiments... that I noticed. What they serve usually are vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. :P

We went back to the dorm after an hour... discussed the day for a while and prepared interview questions then went to bed. :) Happy day the next day!

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. :P

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! :D Iloilo seems to be heaven for chicken meat lovers. :D The best meal actually for me is breakfast... because it's served with hot Milo. :D

Anyway, more pictures in my next posts.
