The reality isโ€” the fight for freedom isn't over.

To this day, even with laws in place to defend the rights of a free press, many school publications have been under hot water as they face threats of withholding publication funds, expulsion, and even lawsuits.

A free campus press is a free student body; without freedom, there is no real news.

The University of Bohol Commission on Elections (UB COMELEC) officially declared the winners of the UB SSG HALALAN 2026 on May 7, 2026, at the Student Personnel Services (SPS) Office Conference Hall.

COMELEC Chairperson, Sir Rone Joseph L. Ytes, led the proclamation ceremony, introducing the new set of student leaders for both National and College Local Government Unit.

John Paul Lacsado, the presidential candidate of Excellence Party, was declared as president of the National Supreme Student Government (NSSG) of the next academic year, together with his vice presidential candidate, Maria Aprilyn Orapa, who ran unopposed and won by default.

Ten senatorial candidates from various colleges and five from VDTALC SHS and UB JHS were also recognized as official members of the UBSSG Senate for the upcoming academic year.

Winners of the college local government unit elections were acknowledged as well as the next administrators of their respective colleges and departments.

However, several elected officers from CBA, CHMTN, CAHS, and CETAFA were absent during the declaration due to prior academic and personal commitments.

In his speech, Lacsado is hoping to provide better services for the UBian communities during his administration next academic year. "Hopefully, in the next school year, ma-improve na atong services sa students kay daghan ang nangita og saktong services," he said.

All elected candidates, from local to national level, are set to present themselves at the IMATO Thanksgiving Ceremony to be held at a date to be announced.
