FEPSians set their expectations high on September 11 and 12, 2023, when leaders from four parties were introduced during the room-to-room campaigning for the approaching election of the Supreme Student Government at FEPS (Al Shaba).
Students were divided into four parties to allow them to collaborate and share views on their conception of the ideal academic year: S.A.K.U.R.A. (Striving for Unity, Kindness, Unity, Responsibility and Ambition) Party, led by Zareth Ulrych Lim, C.H.A.R.M. (Creating Harmony, Advocating Responsibility, and Making School Life Absolutely Charming) Party, led by Zahra Gail Fragata, Ace of S.P.A.D.E.S. (Students with Perseverance And Determination in Elevating the School) Party, led by Carl Soquerata, and F.E.A.R.L.E.S.S. (Fierce, Empowered, Ambitious and Reliable Leaders Equipped with Special Skills) Party, led by Ashton Guzman.
They were all supported by their campaign managers and members who came geared up to stroll around the campus. They had prepared introductions for the position they are running for, platforms that could significantly alter this academic year, and an intermission to make a lasting impression on others.
Moreover, when the campaigning came to a close, each party that exhibited its distinctiveness hoped that each student would vote wisely for the new generation of student leaders this academic year 2023-2024.
