The Miting de Avance for the Pamunuan ng Kamag-Aral (PKA) 7-12 candidates was held last Tuesday, April 24 at the UPIS 7-12 Gymnasium.

Led by the Senior Council (SC), the meeting aims to introduce those running for positions in the PKA to the student body. It also serves as a forum in which parties can introduce their platforms and where the electorate can ask candidates questions.

This year, KAanib was the sole party running for the PKA. Their slate included Magan Basilio for president, Danie Cabrera for vice president, Bree Catibog for secretary, Robert Ambat for treasurer, Pam Marquez for assistant treasurer, Gabe Matias for auditor, Rafael Alcazar for business manager, Warrick Castillo for public relations officer, and Romi Okada and Achilles De Leon for marshalls.

Their platform centred on student participation, involvement, and unity.

They sought to promote these through proposed new activities and programs such as K-Aid, the Idea Box, and a mental health week.

K-Aid allows students to volunteer to help the PKA with school activities. This is in accordance with the Aktibo part of their platform wherein they seek to encourage the students to be more involved in school matters.

The Idea Box, meanwhile, gives students a way to put forward suggestions regarding school matters. This also aims to improve the communication between different sectors in school.

The Mental Health Week will focus on improving students’ mental and emotional health as well as educating them on issues regarding these.

After the platform presentation, the audience were given a chance to ask candidates questions.

Separate miting de avances were also held for year-level organisation candidates last April 19.//by Craig Aquino and Roan Ticman
