CAMPUS NEWS — Last August, The Parliamentarians of Arellano University - Jose Abad Santos Campus held their general assembly “PoliChika” at The AU-JAS Lobby, aiming to inform Political Science students about the organization's functions, upcoming events, introducing some of the faculty members, and tips for inside and outside of college.
The event began with the introduction of the Masters of Ceremony, Ms. Michelle Felia, a member of the organization’s Committee on Multimedia and Ms. Maria Amor Dela Cruz, of the Committee on Procurement. It was then succeeded by the singing of the National Anthem, which was followed by the Arellano Hymn.
Iyana Melise Montarde, Senate President of The Parliamentarians, gave her opening remarks—expressing gratitude and warmly welcoming everyone to the assembly. To make the audience alive, Mr. Daniel Jose Valdez, the Senate Pro Tempore of The Parliamentarians, energized the audience with an icebreaker, inviting students to “Guess the Professor” behind a “blind item.” After the ice breaker, Ms. Jaymie Le Sabino, The Former Parliamentarian President and current COMELEC Chairman, shared an inspirational message on her path to leadership and the skills that a leader must possess.
The discussions were kicked off by Senate President Montarde, informing everyone present about what the Parliamentarians is as an organization and their planned events. Between these, she also introduced the officers and faculty members from the College of Arts and Sciences.
She was supervened by Senate President Pro Tempore Valdez, who gave tips and advice about surviving college life such as “Keep your ears open and your notes ready.”
Mr. Arvic Luis Panay Jalos, the Senate Minority Leader and the last speaker for the event, delivered his speech emphasizing the importance of Political Science in community and society engagements.
Ms. Iyana Montarde then led a 15-minute Question and Answer portion, answering students’ queries about the topics discussed and topics about the Senate President’s view on recent political issues. During this, the officers of the organization gave out snacks and drinks to their attendees.
Before ending the ceremony, Mr. Daniel Valdez gave his closing remarks. The event concluded with a photo opportunity.
