Miting de Avance: A Colloquy of Leadership Between Aspiring Future SSLG Leaders
Today marks the Miting de Avance of Carcar Academy Technical School Inc. (CATSI), which provided a chance for aspiring Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG) candidates to demonstrate their leadership skills, share their visions, and showcase their qualifications for the student body's votes. The program began with a solemn opening led by COMELEC Secretary Niรฑa Nichole Nemeรฑo, followed by welcome remarks from SSLG Adviser Josie Mae P. Duterte. SSLG Secretary and event moderator Donah Jane Satinitigan presented the election guidelines, while COMELEC Chairman Lour Vale Daรฑo introduced the Party Managers.
The spotlight then turned to the USWAG Party and TINDOG Party candidates, who confidently introduced themselves and stated their speeches. As the timer turned to a halt, it was time to proceed to the next part of the program, which was the presentation of platforms and advocacy. The platforms were passionately delivered by the aspiring candidates for President and Vice President (Internal). Both parties were given a chance to question one another about the said platforms. Later on, an open forum gave the student body a chance to ask questions, fostering student engagement and a healthy open discussion. Former SSLG officers also asked meaningful questions about leadership, where both parties shared each others' sentiments, with different views and plans. Amidst their difference, they still have the same goal and that is to lead and serve the students of CATSI.
Throughout the program, students showed their excitement and support for the candidates with cheers and applause, creating a lively and encouraging atmosphere. Before the program concluded, the candidates for the position of President gave their last speech, proving why they should win the upcoming elections. The program concluded with final messages from Student Activity Coordinator Mr. Ricky E. Alcos and a Closing Prayer, sealing the event as a meaningful celebration of youth leadership and unity. At the end of the day, may this Miting de Avance guide the student body for the upcoming elections.
As the election approaches, let's not forget to "VOTE WISELY," Catsinians! Vote for leaders who are truly deserving and embody the qualities of true leadership.
