I just casted my vote this morning. First thing I did upon arriving at the College of Mass Communication. I did not vote for a straight slate. I voted for people who I think deserve the position they are running for. Being a person who has been exposed in politics since childhood, I voted for people who really care for the students and not for individuals who just seek the office only to protect their party's name.
I opted to abstain in some positions in the college-level. It's also a mix party for me. Though, it's dominated by a particular party which I prefer not to mention. I just hope the winners for the posts will really serve the students and should not only know the real world outside the university but also the world within the college.

Hot off the Grill: The USC and CMC-SC candidates' face-off
The candidates for this year's University and college-wide elections had the chance to present themselves to the students of the College of Mass Communication this afternoon during 'Hot Off the Grill' a candidates's forum presented by the UP Mass Communicators' Organization.
UNIVERSITY-WIDE
Since I was not able to attend the meeting-de-avanse held at my dormitory, the Ipil Residence Hall, I was craving to meet these candidates. Though I was really not expecting these three political parties to be in there, all the time I thought it was only the college-based candidates who will face it off, so I wore a blue top.
Anyway, it cannot be denied that the CMC is a red-dominated college. Almost all the students herein are active with national and university issues that affect students. And maybe because the STAND-UP has a college-based party in CMC.
Alyansa, Kaisa, and STAND-UP had their own gimmicks in presenting their platforms and their slate. STAND-UP's platforms revolve mostly on the issues and I was not able to decipher their plans straightly unlike the two parties. I just found out their offers by reading their leaflets of GPOA.
Alyansa had most of their councilors present while Kaisa had the least number of attendees to the event. I am still not decided whom to vote for but one thing for sure, my ballot will be of mix parties and I won't stick to only one party.
COLLEGE-BASED
Interdependent Student Activism or ISA and the Student Alliance for the Advancement of Democratic Rights in UP- CMC have battled it up for the CMC-SC. The debate was great, it was indeed HOTTT!
I already have my Chairperson, however I still do not have a Vice Chairperson just as yet. My ballot for this will include candidates from the two parties and will not stick to one. I believe that some people in the other party deserve to win.
I have to give merit to the both party for giving us a nice show and it was indeed enlightening. I learned more about the politics within the college, the personalities of these peoples, and the college itself.
I just have to decipher more if these people deserve the positions they are aiming to have.
