SSLG Elections: Meet The Newly Elected Students Leaders of Badiang NHS by Irish Deloso

 

          The academic year of 2024-2025 is coming to an end, and once again, Badiang National High School is holding its annual SSLG elections. This is an important event where students choose their new leaders who will represent them for the next school year. There are two parties competing for leadership: the PIECE Party, led by John Carlo Castrodes, and the ASTIG Party, led by Cerwin Calimbo. Both parties have been actively campaigning, hoping to win the support of their fellow students. These elections allow students to be heard and given a chance for students to participate in shaping the future of their school.

            To gain votes, both parties conducted a room-to-room campaign, where they introduced themselves and their platforms to different classes. They explained their plans and proposed projects that could help improve the school if they were elected. You can see on their faces how nervous but excited they are as they go the final stage of their election journey. The candidates made it clear that they were not making empty promises but were committed to doing their best regardless of the results. This showed their dedication to serving the student body, win or lose.

           One of the most important parts of the campaign was the avansi, where candidates stood on stage and addressed the entire student body. They discussed their platforms and plans, as well as the initiatives and enhancements they intended to carry out if given the opportunity to take the lead. This event allowed students to see the candidates' confidence, leadership skills, and ability to communicate effectively you must choose wisely and select the best. It also helped assist voters in selecting the candidate they thought would best serve their interests.. The avansi was a crucial moment that gave candidates a final chance to win the trust of their schoolmates. 

            As the election day approached, the candidates could not hide their nervousness. The excitement and tension grew as students prepared to cast their votes. Everyone knew that some of the party could win depending of what the students vote, but both PIECE and ASTIG were determined to accept the results with sportsmanship. No matter who won, all the candidates promised to continue working for the betterment of the school. This positive attitude showed that their goal was not just to win but to truly make a difference.
