Organized by the University of St. La Salle - Commission on Elections (COMELEC), the "Special Elections: Harapan 2025" was held earlier today, at the Miguel Lobby—a platform allowing the student body to become better acquainted with the candidates for the upcoming elections.

Among the participants was Christan Tizon, the sole candidate for the College of Nursing's Level 1 Batch Representative, who shared his projects, views, and opinions on key topics and relevant issues.

The program featured segments such as Meet the Candidates, No Neutrals, State Your Statute, Behind the Budget, Face the Panel, and finally, an open forum.

With the conclusion of Harapan, students are now equipped with a clear understanding and proper knowledge about each candidate when casting their ballots.

𝐀 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬.

As night befalls, the moon hides cowardly behind clouds. Leaving you to fend for yourself, blindly navigating in pitch black. If you look closely by a near distance, you'll see a faint flicker of light. Come closer, it won't hurt you.

As you take a few steps... Your eyes drink in the beauty that has graced your vision.
An art inspired by the hopes and dreams of what tomorrow promises. Gaze upon the sparkling art of 𝐊𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐠'𝐬 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫.

Tune your ears to the melodies as it whisper into the labyrinth nestled between keys. As darkness leans in to whisper as you plunge into these archives of untold tales, let these songs tease your ears in quiet delight while you devour each page in wonder.

Taking the center stage, at last!

In this act, the spotlight turns to 𝘺𝘰𝘶—your 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀, your 𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, your 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵.

Just like in every great performance, every role matters. And in the world of student leadership, your voice can shape the script of what’s about to come.

Driven by the motivation and passion to serve the student nurses with 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝘃𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, student leaders step into the light, not just to speak but to represent as well.

As perspectives spark change, now’s your moment to look closer, think deeper, and 𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝘾𝙊𝙉.

Watch your footsteps—for the sacred grounds that hold the path towards the magical mailbox will test the confidence and courage that resides within your lost soul. Look out for the fireflies that bite every inch of darkness in these eerie woods for they know the secrets that engulf the forest.

Take only one path. Never be afraid to choose. Let the light of the scriptures be your guide towards what you seek. For it is in this journey you will illuminate the visions and answers you chased for.

Have courage as she awaits you.

𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿!

Answering the call of service demands more than ambition—it calls for courage, integrity, and passion that never wavers. Leadership is not simply a position or a front, it is a commitment and a character that lifts others, hears every story, and truly sees their fellow students.

As the spot for 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝟭 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 opens, 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝘇𝗼𝗻, the sole runner, presents himself with a steady fire, ready to carry the weight of responsibility and lead with purpose.

The stage is set. The search has begun. Only one thing is missing—the 𝙞𝘾𝙊𝙉 to take the center spot.

𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗱?

Follow 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 and be part of the search.

𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽. 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆.

Leadership begins not on grand stages, but in our everyday lives—in classrooms, during clinical exposures, and through the shared experiences of every student nurse. This time, the spotlight shines on those who are ready to serve, represent, and stand for the hopes and needs of their fellow students.

As the stage is set, every student has a role to play. Whether you are stepping forward as a candidate or standing proudly as a voter, your choice becomes the heartbeat of this election.

Who will be the i𝗖𝗢𝗡 to lead your year forward?

Get ready to amplify your voice. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙜𝙪𝙣.
