In a few days, UP Manila will have its annual student council elections. As a freshman student, I believe a have the duty to fully get to know all of these candidates before finally placing my vote on the 2nd of March. They say UP Manila politics is a microcosm of Philippine politics. After a week of campaigns (on-the-spot or online), I am now convinced that it really is the microcosm of Philippine politics.
After getting to know all the candidates, these are the people that I have decided that I will fully support.

Because I believe that the council does not have to be all red or all blue. Maybe I’ll add more people to this list as the days go… or maybe not. I don’t know.
Dahil sa aking unang pagkakataon na bumoto sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas Maynila, gusto ko ng isang malinis na eleksyon.
