Students went to their designated precincts early on Thursday March 15, 2018 to elect their favored candidates. Most of the voters chose candidates they thought and felt would think and work for the betterment of students and the system and are perceived to be honest and credible. The CPUR election is held every year with two accredited political parties gunning for the prescribed elected positions: Reform and Koalisyon.
Several places have been designated around the campus as venues for this year’s election. The CBA precinct was at the Grandstand in the Big Field; CCS, CAS, CoED and CARES were located at the Mary Thomas Quadrangle; CHM at the Santos Park; the College of Theology in Ancheta Hall; CNAHS and CMLS at the Loreto D. Tupas Building; the College of Law at Henry Luce III Library; the College of Engineering at the Engineering study area; Junior and Senior High Schools at the High School Gym.
Except for the College of Law who were allowed to vote until 7 PM, the rest of the precincts accepted ballots from 8 AM to 5 PM.
According to the CPUR, to be an officer of the Republic is to be part of a prestigious student government. It is both a privilege and a responsibility. It is a privilege because not all of the students in CPU are chosen by their fellow students to become a CPUR official. It is a privilege for the elected student candidate to be authorized to plan, prepare and implement policies, programs, and projects for the whole CPU Student Republic.
Through the years, CPUR, the oldest student organization in the Philippines, continues to live the legacy of student leadership and democracy.
