ELECTION season began in UST with only one student filing his certificate of candidacy for the highest position in the Central Student Council (CSC).

Competing for the vice presidency are former College of Fine Arts and Design Student Council president and industrial design junior student Renz Santiago (Lakasdiwa) and speech and language pathology sophomore Gabriela Angela Sepulchre (LTC), former treasurer at the College of Rehabilitation Sciences Student Council.

Hotel and restaurant management junior Alexandra Guevarra (LTC), travel management sophomore Josephine Beatrice Domingo (Lakasdiwa) and preschool education junior Therese Gorospe (independent) are gunning for the position of secretary.

Journalism junior Christopher Daniel Reyes (Lakasdiwa) will compete against sophomore marketing management student Daveson Nieto (LTC) for the position of treasurer.

Eyeing the public relations officer post are literature junior Lance Laurence Santiago (LTC), nursing junior John Rhorick Legaspi (Lakasdiwa) and political science sophomore Francis Gabriel Santos (independent).

There was no statement yet from Lakasdiwa on its failure to field a presidential candidate.
