Monares reelected SSC president; STAND sweeps council seats
Monares
STAND Party presidential contender Ed Byron Monares, 23rd president of the post-Martial Law USC Supreme Student Council (restored in 1983), was reelected in last Friday's polls to head the 24th SSC. Monares won in 15 of the 16 voting precincts set up by the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
Official results released by the Comelec today show him leading by a wide margin with 2,901 votes over his rivals Ma. Cassandra Teves of Tingog Carolinian Party and April Lain Murcia of Student Power Party (SPP). Teves garnered 892 votes while Murcia got 860 votes.
Loyd Sato, also of STAND Party, was also elected vice-president, with 2,390 votes. His lead was followed by Landon Ocampo of SPP, who got 1,360 votes, while Ariane Alix of Tingog Carolinian got 859 votes.
STAND Party shooed in 15 of its 16 candidates for the Council, a commanding lead over SPP, its closest rival this year, which won only three seats out of the 17 candidates it fielded.
The most surprising turnout of this year's elections was the trouncing of Tingog Carolinian, which failed to win a single seat in the Council. Equally surprising was the strong showing of three of the five Independents who made it to the Council. For the second time since last year, majority of Independent candidates have been elected by Carolinian students to represent them in the SSC.
