oha! congrats stand up at saligan sa cssp! galing ni rain at amme! san ka pa!
Kailangan talaga yung pahabol na yun sa dulo eh noh. Anyway, good results! 😀
Folks! I’m monitoring from home. Would you guys like to clarify the situation re: final sentence of the article?
kim. eto ang kinabusyhan mo kaya di ka pwede ng sarahs kanina. wow. anyway congrats sa STAND-UP.
kelangan talaga “stormed out” ‘yung ginawa ng kaisa? patampo ba silang umalis?
The staffers of Tinig ng Plaridel present at the announcement of the official election results at Vinzons Hall stand by the last sentence published in this article.
TNP tried to reach KAISA’s secretary general, councilor-elect Kristine Kamille Kalingking, via SMS using a mobile number given to a TNP editor but she has not yet responded on the issue. Rest assured that TNP will strive to air KAISA’s statement as soon as the party is available for comment.
Thank you.
Stand UP didn’t get most of the seats. They got twelve, tied with ALYANSA. It would be better if you include information on the winning college representatives. They are, after all, a part of the USC.
Stormed out?
KAISA waited until the USEB officially proclaimed the next University Student Council 2010-2011. After the official proclamation, KAISA left Vinzons to return to our HQ and meet up with our candidates and supporters.
Were you expecting KAISA to celebrate with STAND-UP by staying at Vinzons Hall, and leaving OUR supporters hanging dry in some other place? I think you know the logical answer.
And by the way, this is not KAISA’s official position, but my personal take on the seeming bias. Thank you.
