Sanlahi member-orgs elect next year's alliance officers
March 20, 2009 – The UP Sanlahi Alliance had a general meeting for the election of its officers for the next academic year. With the incumbent officers sitting as the Electoral Board, the nominations were submitted days prior to the election proper. Sanlahi is an alliance organization of duly-recognized provincial and regional organizations in UP Diliman and the UP Aguman is one of its founding members.
UP Aguman member Lawrence Manalo (Pinanari 2008A) ran for the position of Vice-Chair for Membership. Incidentally, the outgoing Vice-Chair for Membership, Fergie Panganiban, is also from Aguman. Previous Aguman members who’ve been officers in the Sanlahi for the past few years also held the same position.
Ten member-organizations, Aguman, Batangan, Lambak, Lakan, Kalilayan, Sillag, Sidlangan, Namnama, Tangway and Sandiwa, were present during the election meeting. The candidates presented their General Plan of Action prior to the casting of votes. Lawrence was unopposed so he needed at least 6 votes to clinch the position. Fortunately, he garnered 7 votes and won.
The other elected Sanlahi Alliance officers were Angelica Corpuz (from Lambak) – Sanlahi Chairperson, Roy Devesa (Tangway) – Secretary General, Jojit Oñate (Kalilayan) Vice-Chair for Education & Research, Madel Estrella (Lakan) – Vice-Chair for Culture & Sports and Genixon David (Sandiwa) – Vice-Chair for Publicity. The Vice-Chair for Finance position was still vacant because the candidate for the position was not present during the meeting.
Together with Lawrence, UP Aguman was represented in the meeting by the outgoing President, Jen Castro and outgoing Internals Vice-President, Acey Duarte.
