The tension was palpable at 12:20 PM during the Leadership Training for OMC 2026 candidates, as a โfriendlyโ debate turned into a make-or-break showdown. Labeled as a โTrial by Leadership," the session pushed nominees to defend their philosophies on authority, empathy, and organizational transparency.
The debate ignited over a critical scenario: As the President, how will you ask the cooperation of your co-officers specially last minute or rush tasks?
Option 1: Be authoritative
Option 2: Be emphatic
Option 3: Do it myself

Fulgar abruptly cut her off. Refusing to let Gubaton finish her stance, Fulgarโs intervention signaled a trial by fire mentality that seemed to forget the "friendly" nature of the debate. It was a power move that shouted one thing: ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐๐น๐๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ; ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฒ๐

When presented with a hypothetical situationโ As Secretary General, you are responsible for the records. If a sudden three-day deadline for a major award such as "Most Outstanding CBO" arises during a break, do you think itโs the Secretary Generalโs job to handle it alone and sacrifice your personal time to complete the task, or would you demand that your fellow officersโwho are currently on breakโhelp you?

The debate concluded with a room full of candidates who clearly have very different ideas of what it means to lead. With the OMC 2026 elections approaching, the student body must now decide: do they want a leader who prioritizes the task at any cost, or one who navigates the struggles of their team?
