On March 12 of 2022 we highly encourage all of the Filipino Citizens especially the first-time voters of the youth to engage themselves in a series of senatoriables’ interviews in “The Senatorial Archives : Legitimacy of the Legislators” which will be presented by The Repvblic The Political Science Organization of San Beda University
Today, our country is facing countless problems such as economic recession, social poverty, political turmoil, and health challenges. With these outpouring issues, we need leaders who can provide viable and long-term solutions through legislation. Hence, it is much an imperative to know and recognize such platforms several senatorial candidates have to offer. In order to combat the aforementioned issues our country is experiencing.
In addition, this event seeks to emphasize the principle, “Voting is a right, not a privilege, and it takes tremendous knowledge for one to do so”. Since in essence the electoral process cannot generate without the voters; and it is an important mindset that all citizens of the country, upon reaching the age of eligibility and its supplementary requirements, must be able to exercise their right to vote.
In line with this, The Repvblic provides a platform that would create awareness not only for San Beda Political Science students but also for all Filipino Citizens per se. Thus, for them to acquire a sense of duty and responsibility in participating in the practice of democracy and to highlight the significance of voter’s literacy in ensuring that all voters understand and recognize good leaders who can truly serve the public.
This will also serve as a chance to set aside biases and preconceived assumptions regarding the senatorial aspirants and their political stance. Hence, aims to engage the students in becoming more neutral towards the candidates and learn more about them based on their qualifications and experiences.
As an organization, The Repvblic values effective and relevant discourses. Therefore, The Senatorial Archives will provide a perfect avenue for meaningful exchange of information and insight about the Philippine political arena.
This series of interviews greatly portrays the unity in diversity of the Filipino youth in terms of social awareness, and community engagement that would further contribute immensely to nation building, as it highlights how the Bedans answer the call of the community through acts of service to achieve the common good.
