The path to student leadership took center stage as the PSU ACC held its Miting-de-Avance on October 26, 2026, at the PSU ACC Multi-Purpose Covered Court, spearheaded by the Electoral Tribunal together with its adviser, Dr. Shella Marie I. Diocares, to introduce the aspiring Supreme Student Council (SSC) candidates and their proposed platforms to the ACCians.
The event provided a platform for the aspirants to introduce themselves, present their advocacies, and share their plans for the student body, allowing ACCians to gain a clearer understanding of the candidates and the initiatives they intend to pursue if elected.
Adding an interactive dimension to the program was the “Back It or Block It” segment, wherein statements were presented to the aspirants, who expressed their respective positions through thumbs-up or thumbs-down emojis. The activity offered a glimpse into their standpoints on various issues and encouraged students to consider the perspectives of those seeking leadership.
Meanwhile, the “Hotseat” portion, led by the Electoral Tribunal board, challenged the aspirants with questions that called for them to articulate their views and respond to matters relevant to student leadership.
The program proceeded with an open forum, giving every student the opportunity to raise questions, seek clarifications, and engage directly with the candidates. This exchange opened the floor for meaningful dialogue, allowing the aspirants to address students’ concerns beyond their prepared speeches and platforms.
As the election draws closer, the voices heard during the Miting-de-Avance serve as a reminder that student leadership begins with listening, grows through accountability, and finds its purpose in serving the ACCian community.
