Post-elections Hang-over

First of all congratulations to all those who won in the USC elections! Secondly, congratulations and good luck to the Executive Committee-elect of UP Chinese Student Association. I know you'll be able to do great things next year.






USC Elections is over. As for me, I am very thankful for all the people who have been there to support, guide, train, and nourish my desire to become a better student-leader.



More than a party, KAISA has been a family to me. Looking back, I am amazed with what we've all gone through, what we've all sacrificed and what we've all learned throughout this experience. This is a new chapter that would soon be written with more wonderful lines and stories that matter.






They say that what I am having right now is the expected withdrawal symptoms from the elections. Truly, I miss being with my slatemates every night, trainings upon trainings, sleeping late and waking up really early, going room-to-room expecting the unexpected, and a lot more.






Elections pushed each and everyone of us to work and perform more. It only proved that "yes, we can." Deep inside we all knew we could do it, but all the while, I could ask, "why weren't we able to do this before the campaign started?" Sometimes, it just takes some push or even a tap for one to be able to go that extra mile. That for me is what we all want; that for me is what counts.



After all of this, yes, it's hard to go back to "normal student life." Though hard and tiring, I miss everything. Now, it's time to perform, to walk the talk. I hope that all of you would still be there. :)



*Edit* P.S. Unsolicited Advice to all: Remember, if student service is really your passion, you can still achieve that noble goal even if you're not "in power".

KAISA Tayo sa USC - Dare to Unite. Be the Difference.

KAISA - Nagkakaisang Iskolar para sa Pamantasan at Sambayanan presents to you the 2009-2010 University of the Philippines Student Council, with Titus Tan as Chairperson, and 12 equally brilliant and exceptional students from different colleges in UP as Councilors.

Kaisa launched its campaign calling and daring the UP Students to Unite, and Be the Difference. This years' slate marks the difference we will face, do and be.

In his Open Letter to Iskolars, Titus talks more about his 12 USC Councilors, and how they'll "represent the responsive and unifying leadership" the USC needs for the new era.

USC: Unite Students for Change

Our goal is a USC that is able to unite students for change through a right mix of relevant projects, practical services and timely campaigns that capture students’ enthusiasm and motivate their idealism.



To maximize student involvement and reach out to as many students as possible, we have crafted our activities to cater to a wide range of interests. Moreover, we desire to excite student interest through innovation and creativity in our activities as well as by tapping a diverse array of tools for information dissemination.



In this General Program of Action, KAISA offers an overview of the activities it intends to carry out through the USC. We realize, however, that any genuine General Program of Action should not lock out the proposals of other parties as well as other activities that iskolars may later suggest. Thus, our list is by no means close-ended. Rather, it is an evolving program that is by itself ready to be implemented, yet also open enough to accommodate other activities iskolars may desire.



Let us Unite and See the Difference. Please wear Yellow on Tuesday, 9am. The Meeting de Avance will be held at the AS/ Palma Hall steps.
