Remaining seats in the Executive Council 2009-2010 finally filled
March 18, 2009 – The Special Elections for the positions of President and Secretary of the Executive Council 2009-2010 were held at the old AS tambayan. The previous week, after two rounds of voting, the said positions were still vacant due to the close race between the candidates. All five members of the Electoral Board, namely, Rex Dizon, Acey Duarte, Kath Gatchalian, Marco Lansangan and Loree Sicat, were present to oversee the electoral process.
After the re-nominations, the candidates were again given time to deliver their personal speeches for the voting members. During the third round of voting, 36 members voted and thus, the 50%+1 required mandate was 19 votes. After counting the votes, Michael Gulapa was finally declared the next Secretary. The race for the Aguman Presidency was still at a deadlock.
