Residents elect Aguman officers for AY 2008-2009

March 13, 2008 -- With only a few days before the end of regular classes for the second semester of the current school year, the registered members elected the new set of officers for the next academic year of 2008-2009 at PH 223. A total of 42 members out of the 54 registered voters cast their votes.

The original date of the elections was last March 11 but due to the suspension of classes due to the national transport strike last Tuesday, the Electoral Board led by Adrian Bustos (Kadaya 2005A) moved it to March 13. Other EB members present during the election proper were Cyrille Bautista (Kaputul 2004A), Hazel Lee (Kadaya 2005A) and outgoing President Daphne Villanueva (Kaputul 2004A).

Before the voting proper, the candidates for Internals Vice-President and President presented their planned platforms and entertained questions from the EB and the members. Afterwards, a few final questions were answered by all candidates for all positions.
