“They must be able to have some sort of presence in this campus, parang may dating …. The student body needs leaders who look strong, who look powerful, who look like someone they would look up to.”
- Carlos Joseph Frederick Mangco (III AB PoS)
“I hope that the next Sanggu president will be a full-time student.”
- Abby Grace Co (I AB Psy)
“Care about the Ateneo community, what it’s going through, and he should ask Ateneo students about the concerns, so the Sanggu can implement stuff that could help the development of the students and the school.”
- Bianca Marie Mendoza (I AB Psy)
“[I’d like to know from him] what’s really happening between the administration and the Sanggu, because no one’s really telling. Like during the meetings, what happens? The minutes of the meeting.”
- Anne Clarisse Silva (II BS CTM)
“From the next Sanggu president, I guess I want more concrete actions for social issues, especially, for example, what was recently the Lozada issue. I would love to go to Ateneo rallies and be involved in supporting Lozada. Ateneo should be more active. So I would like more social involvement in the Sanggu.”
- Christopher Robert Aronson (I AB Eu)
“Someone with a holistic approach, but knows which issues or problems should be prioritized and when to prioritize them. Also, I think they shouldn’t [use] campaign phrases or taglines that have been already used before …. shouting words like “transparency, accountability, change,” etc., without backing it up…just gives the impression of hollow, tokenistic statements.”
- Alyza May Taguilaso (II BS Bio)
“I don’t know what they do, so I have no idea what I want from them.”
- Carmichael Fong (III BS Psy)
“I would want more visibility from the next Sanggu president. I don’t really want more projects, they usually have a lot of projects, like in their platforms, they give out those outlines-execution should be good.”
- Regine Marie Tumlos (II AB PoS)
“The president should be responsible for what he gets into. Holding office in Sanggu is not something you can just throw away because students chose you as their representative. If you want to quit, then explain clearly why they’re quitting … Like what our past president did, he didn’t really give a clear statement why he couldn’t continue.”
- Vince Paolo Ramos (III AB PoS)
“I have no idea. Hopefully this year’s batch of candidates will show me exactly what a good candidate is. I don’t know and that’s what’s wrong with Ateneo politics now. It seems to be stuck at that state of not being cared about. Right now, it’s something people are indifferent to.”
- Vernice Lorraine Quintana (II BS CTM)
