Student councils on keeping to their platforms amid Covid-19 pandemic

Headed by the PHINMA University of Pangasinan (UPang) Appointments, Performance Evaluation, and Electoral Commission (APEC), the Flames General Elections 2020 was conducted last March 9 to March 14 at PTC 304 and 306 where Wesley Halili won as the Supreme Student Council (SSC) president and Christine Queñano as the vice president.

Few days after the turnover, the new officers renovated and repainted the SSC office, which is located at the back of Center for Student Development and Leadership (CSDL), to look more orderly and accommodating to students who need assistance when classes reopen.

According to Halili, they will stick to their platforms stated during the campaign period and will try their best to administer their projects for the university and student body even though this global crisis endures. Some of the proposed projects of the newly-elected SSC: “finding ways to make the enrollment easier, standardization of school events, community service, bridging program, and leadership and training program.”

Meanwhile, the Local Student Council (LSC) fulfilled the Internal Brigada Eskwela last August 3-4, 2020.

At the end of the semester, the SSC was able to provide 7 lavatory and handwashing sinks and alcohol dispensers around the campus.
