President ->                        Sherry Mae Mondido of the College of Medical Technology
Vice President External- >   Audrey Mendoza of the College of Nursing
Vice President Internal ->    Karen Abrenica of the College of Nursing
Secretary->                         Laurice Homecillo of the College of Nursing
Treasurer->                         Demimae Yu of the College of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy

I'm proud to say I know all of the new officers except Steph (I do hope she is as good as I hear her to be but I do have high hopes). I believe the students have chosen well and actually voted wisely. I believe this year's elections is quite successful with the voting population growing even bigger than last year's. Great job Chao!

Once again congratulations guys and have a great year ahead!
 

Velez College SSC Election

The day of elections has arrived. With everyone feeling 'political' especially with the fact that our National Elections is also coming this May.

This is actually a first in the Cebu Velez College to have the Supreme Student Council elections at the end of the second semester. The original constitution stated that the election of new officers would be held on the second half of the first semester.

Chao Menchavez, the SSC 2009-2010 president, decided to have the constitution changed and have the elections on the end of the semester because this would give a more time for the new officers to work on projects over the summer. This is one really intelligent move of Chao which I believe brings the SSC of Velez College to a whole new level. With the 5 months reign of the SSC 2009-2010 I say they have done a marvelous job. I will be making a review on their visible accomplishments and do wait for an exclusive interview with Chao Menchavez. (Showbiz nao na!)

For this year we actually had two sets of parties: the A.F.T.E.R (A fearless transformation for Equality and Reformation) Party and the E.Y.E.S (Empowering Youth and Excellence through service).

The AFTER Party composes of Sherry Mae Mondido for president, Dexter Lu for Vice-president Internal, Vera Joy Bajarias for Vice-President External, Regina Anisha Cuenca for Secretary, Walter Ian Lim for Treasurer, and Stephanie Anne Tan for Auditor.

The EYES party composes of Angeli Neri for President, Karen Abrenica for Vice-president internal, Audrey Mendoza for Vice-president external, Laurice Homecillo for Secretary, Demimae Yu for Treasurer, and Raye Lim for Auditor.

If one may notice the AFTER party is dominantly composed of Med-tech students while the EYES party is dominantly composed of Nursing Students. I'm guessing this is another Medtech v.S. Nursing war again as these two colleges have the largest population.

However, I would like to remind my fellow Velezians that Cebu Velez College is not about who is better than who. The whol purpose of the SSC is to unite the students in a pathway for success and not to wave the positions as trophies of dominance.

And so I wish good luck to the candidates for SSC officers for 2010-11. My fellow velezians, I hope you voted wisely.

More power to Cebu Velez College.
