According to the students Constitution and By-laws (Article 3, Section 7) Official stainless steel

In my senior year in high school, I ran for president of our student government. I knew I was qualified for the post and had all the best intentions. My mind brimming with ideas for programs and projects for my schoolmates, I really tried to campaign hard so I could win. I made very creative stainless steel table and informative flyers, did a room-to-room campaign, and smiled wider and more often than I usually would.
In high school, stainless steel table Henry smoked, drank frequently, stainless steel table had mediocre grades, and was more passionate as a lover than a leader. But his father, the highly respected Nol Datoc, who served as Laoag City Sangguniang Panlungsod secretary for a long time, talked to me, with his right arm on my teenaged shoulder. My son is really a good boy deep inside, Herdy. Please help him become a good leader, too.
I remained active in student stainless steel table organizations and collaborated with Henry on some projects. I still tried to make a difference in my own sphere of influence. I did not need to prove anything; I really just wanted to serve. At the end of the school year, I ended up being chosen over Henry for the prestigious Gerry Roxas Leadership Award.
Indeed, it is commendable to accept defeat in elections, especially in the Philippine context where most politicians proclaim stainless steel table only two things: either they won or they were cheated. Bowing to the electoral judgment of the majority is one important democratic principle we should thus seriously teach our children.
Edward “Benja” Felipe III of the Victory Party filed an election protest, claiming a number of irregularities, among them the selection of candidates, the composition of election precinct personnel, ballots bearing no serial numbers, and missing extra ballots. stainless steel table
Benja says that the issue goes beyond just winning or losing. It is about rectifying mistakes. stainless steel table It is not about discrediting the school; it is having elections beyond doubt. It is not only about today; but securing honest elections for the next batches of student leaders. To all these, I fully agree. Benja’s brother Dominic, who won as second year representative, holds the same principles, and so he refuses to assume his post, given the circumstances surrounding the election.
This issue having been discussed on radio, the mighty Bombo Radyo in particular, and in the Internet, it is now in public and out in the open. I thus called Mrs. Gemma Bareng, the Comelec chair, to clarify some issues. Is it true, for instance, that they used unnumbered stainless steel table ballots and that there were missing extra ballots?
According to the students Constitution and By-laws (Article 3, Section 7) Official stainless steel table ballots shall be uniform in size, mimeographed, and numbered consecutively. The numbering stainless steel table is meant to ensure that all ballots are accounted for. It is a mechanism of control. You don t even need a constitution to mandate that if you employ common sense. There can be no valid elections without valid ballots.
But Mrs. Bareng s Comelec finds no fault that an election was held with the use of unnumbered, hence constitutionally and legally invalid, stainless steel table ballots. She also stressed that everything is accounted for. These pronouncements provide us a window of how Mrs. Bareng and her colleagues think.
Shirley, Benja s mom, is fully supportive of her kids, especially on this one. It is easy to dismiss her as just another overbearing stage mom. But there are important things a mom ought to teach her kids, among them justice, fairness, and responsibility virtues my sisters Helen and Hedy learned from the old-school, nun-run Holy Spirit stainless steel table Academy of Laoag.
This issue has been formally raised with their Comelec, the offices of Principal Ofelia Sumalin, and School Director Policarpio Albano, a priest known for unbearably lengthy homilies. Inaction, however, has further frustrated Ms. Shirley, stainless steel table prompting her to write a letter to Bishop Renato Mayugba of the Diocese of Laoag, which oversees Catholic schools here. Portion of the letter read.
Mrs. Sumalin and the other election officers need to fully address the complaint, lest they continue to bring dishonor not only to Holy Spirit Academy of Laoag but to the Church itself which claims to be a reliable election watchdog.
How can we not mourn when the very people we trust to teach our kids the value of credible elections seem to be effectively teaching the young how to cast doubts on the sacred stainless steel table exercise of their right to suffrage?

Interesting article and school politics. I was once a president of our student org and I expected to get that the Gerry Roxas Leadership stainless steel table award, not because I was the president but because stainless steel table I knew I deserve it. But unfortunately, stainless steel table they gave it to my secretary, who followed orders from me. I just didn’t know what happened. What I only know is that, my secretary was better in academics than me, but, modesty aside, I was a better leader. stainless steel table In my four years as an HS student, my administration ha
