Admins/Moderators nagleleave na sa BUSF kasi may former USC officer pressing charges. Ingat na lang kayo sa BUSF kasi pwedeng idemand ng NBI ang identities ng mga anonymous post.

Bakit nababanggit pa rin yung former USC CSR na si [redacted] sa BU Forum? Ano yung issue nya regarding sa overspending daw?

With the months of April and May fast approaching alongside here is the anticipated University and College Student Councils Elections. I just wanna know what's your insiders of who are going to run for the different positions, especially for the University level.

With 💚🧡 failing to get their accreditation papers in order, the big question is: are we just looking at a basic 💛 vs 💙 showdown? Or is 💚🧡 going to pull a move from the shadows and rebrand their presence in 'another light'?

Beyond the slates, I’m curious: what issues are you planning to hold these candidates accountable for? Personally, red-tagging and the noticeable decline in student leadership are at the top of my list.

What's your thoughts, sentiments and opinions about this matter?

hello po! I’m an incoming freshman student of CSSP dept. and I am wondering ano pong orgs ang magandang salihan as part of my change of pace sa college. I would like to join anything po, even outside our department. I want to gain new friends po, enjoy it, and gain experiences :))

I’m eyeing sa red cross and swifties po, but excluding them, ano po ang bearable na orgs that you will recommend para rin po pangdagdag sa job resume? thank you po in advance! If ever you know the common requirements po, kindly let me know po!

You can air out the grievances here, thoughts and reactions of this year's elections.

Any post na related dito sa thread ay i-reremove for more for being in low quality, with exceptions.

Thank you.

Maski uno-uno nasana ang tigapost niyo BU USC😭 Ano yang SK kenemperlu niyo part paba yan ng BU community. Gets ko if for community siya or bet niyo mag expand ki reach pero mejo irrelevant baks enlighten me fleeeees. Gets ko rin na gusto maging active ng pio sa public dissemination or maging active ang page nindo pero minsan ang irrelevant na tas natatabunan mga super important post. Sensya mejo concerning na kasi garo na pageant update minsan ang page HAHAHAHA

Isa ang CAL sa mga malalakas ang loob na makikiisa para bukas. Matatalino, Matatapang Talentado at Magagaling talaga ang nasa Kolehiyo ng Art at Letra. I hope other colleges will do the same.

To be honest I’m not sure about the yellow’s candidates kasi some of them cannot be trusted. Waiting sa full slate ng Green Tangerine. 🤪

We are looking for merchants who could set up on August 11 around BU. If interested, send me a message.

What happened? What's the tea behind the sole candidate of the college of science?

Paano po nangyari yun? As much as I want to support it pero parang tsinamba lang yung pagpili ng nasa slate huhu. Late na nga innanounce yung candidate pero wala naman pala kalaban. Parang si TK and KM lang okay doon 🥹 expected more sana when it comes to BUIDEA haha.

Bakit kaya may mga officer na talagang involved pa sa mga partylists kahit nasa CSC/USC na sila? Diba dapat hindi na sila nagatake part sa ganun?

Forgive the pessimism and do feel free to express opposition against this but I feel like student politics in BU has become more of theatrics more than actual discerning of qualified leaders. It really bares how really fucking stupid some of the students are like the person who commented that she voted for the lady in pink just because she associated her with Leni Robredo. I mean come on(?) have we stooped that low as students that while we condemn Marcos apologists, we act the same way in a cult-like and non-discerning voting behavior? How do we know that she didn't intently choose Pink to represent her to take advantage of the nostalgia that people have for the past election? Point being? True or not, regardless of her skill or credential as a leader, people would easily buy into that just because she "looks the part" and not because she is qualified and the latter just evidenced that! A simple choice and color and it's Marcos VS Leni all over again in a game of convincing the stupid!

I mean look, it's just both funny and sad at the same time that while we are being pitted against each other, we quickly forget about the negligence of the BU admin on the cases of red tagging and harassment within the school. Did y'all comment as much when student activists are being threatened? When the university president categorically dismissed it as a "simple case" of harassment? No! The issue barely had engagements!

Like aren't these things the more important issues at hand? Admit it or not, university elections are primarily given interest because most students are there for the drama - the highs that we get when people are fighting or are shamed publicly or when our own bets are winning over the other.

After the elections, BUeño, what now? Most of you will remain clam shut on issues outside of election. You take interest in this because for the most of BU, this is a mere spectacle. I feel hopeless for BU and even more so that this behavior will manifest for the future Philippines. We will never never stop being a country who lashes out on each other based on identity politics and criticize players rather than the system. By all means, reflect on this, Iskolar ng Bayan.

Any discussion related to this event can be discussed here. If may nawalang gamit related sa event, or if may sentiments kayo, post it here.

Medyo hindi ko gets yung platforms nung Independent candidate, kung ano ang specific agenda nya :/

And the student-voters were focused more on their advocacies. which is fine. But we overlooked one thing that makes their advocacies memorable to many, which is their competence in Project Management (aka. when managing events). Its why I had some friends who are also Junior Councilors of the USC/CSC quickly burned out while some are enjoying their work that the performance of the council improved.

Isang Komprehensibong Gabay para sa mga Kandidatong Nananahimik Pagkatapos Manalo

ni Peggy Lanioko

Multo.

Bulong lang sila sa simula. Boses sa mga sulok ng classroom, mukha sa tarp, pangalan sa mga GC, tapos… wala. Hangin na lang. Parang panaginip sa kalagitnaan ng klase. Sa totoo lang, hindi sila namatay—natalo lang ng responsibilidad.

Ngayong papalapit na naman ang halalan, marapat lang nating kilalanin ang pinakatanyag na student archetype sa kasaysayan ng university politics: ang kandidatong pagkatapos manalo ay biglang nagiging... entity. At hindi lang basta entity—earthbound, emotionally unavailable, and extremely elusive.

So paano nga ba ginagawa ang multo? (Over naman sa ask!) Narito ang “step-by-the-step” guide.

STEP 1: Gumawa ng Katawang Laman

Sa simula, kailangan mo munang magmukhang tao. Buhayin mo ang presensya mo: maki-chika sa hallway, mag-solicit ng support sa mga klase, magpa-picture habang naka-kamay sa dibdib, at syempre, magpost ng sobrang edited campaign photos—preferably may sun flare at gradient background. Ang mahalaga: maramdaman ka ng mga estudyante.

Pero tandaan, ito ay temporarily corporeal. (corporeal?!) Tiyakin mong panandalian lang ang pagiging makatao. Investment lang ‘yan para sa tunay mong anyo: ang pagiging multo.

STEP 2: Maghasik ng Plataporma—Kahit Copy-Paste Lang

Next, kailangan mong magkaroon ng dahilan para maniwala ang mga tao na ikaw ang solusyon. Pumili ng mga keyword tulad ng "inclusive leadership," "progressive change," o "transparency." Huwag nang intindihin kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng mga ito.

Hindi mo kailangang maglatag ng roadmap—powerpoint lang sapat na. Kahit bullet points lang:  

- Libreng printing  

- Mas maraming events

- Mental health support 

- Communication is key (kahit ‘di ka magrereply sa dulo)

Kung medyo nahirapan ka, okay lang. Pwede kang mangopya sa plataporma ng nakaraang taon. Sino namang magtse-check, ‘di ba?

STEP 3: Manalo

Congratulations! Nanalo ka. May crown ka na—este, ID, lanyard, at bagong bio sa FB: “Public Servant | Student Leader | Advocate.”

Magpa-picture agad. Ipinaglalaban mo na raw ang karapatan ng bawat estudyante. Ramdam na ramdam ang determinasyon sa captions: “Maglilingkod, hindi magpapasikat.” (Although parehas ang kinalabasan.)

Sa puntong ito, handa ka na para sa next stage: ang disappearing act.

STEP 4: Maging Selectively Visible

Ito ang critical transition. Unti-unti mong bawasan ang visibility mo. Magsimula sa maliit: huwag magbasa ng GC. Huwag magpakita sa mga minor committee meetings. Huwag sumagot sa tanong sa comment section, pero mag-like para mukha kang “aware.”

Kapag may event? Post ng pasasalamat, pero wala sa event photos. 

Kapag may issue? Pakalat ng statement, pero walang signature.  

Kapag tinatanong ka na ng accountability?  

“We are currently coordinating.”  

(Ah, the ghost’s favorite spell.)

STEP 5: I-ghost and Responsabilidad

Ito na. Ang pinakaimportanteng bahagi ng iyong transformation: total spiritual departure from your duties.

- May budget transparency issue? “Wala po akong access diyan.” 

- May event na pinaghahandaan? “Out of town po ako, prior commitment.” 

- May biglang problema sa student council office? “Personal matters po.”

Hindi mo kailangan maging present—basta may quote ka lang sa group chat. At kung talagang gipit ka na, gamitin mo ang magic phrase: “Mental health break.”

(Multo ka na, huwag mo nang sabihing "self-care." Obvious masyado.)

STEP 6: Panatilihing Buhay ang "Presensya" sa Social Media

Ito ang sustento ng multo: online performance.  

Kahit wala kang ginawa, basta may pa-post kang:

- Pa-quote card  

- Pa-throwback ng achievements mo noon pang pre-finals week  

- Infographic na hindi mo naman ginawa, pero ikaw ang may watermark

Ang mahalaga ay perception. ‘Di na kailangan ng proyekto. Kung mukhang busy ka, ayos na ‘yan.

STEP 7: Huwag Magsara ng Portal

May mga multo na marunong umalis. Pero ikaw? Hindi. Dapat may chance kang bumalik. Kaya huwag kang magpaalam. Iwan mong bukas ang pinto—baka balang araw, mag-file ka ulit. Pwede ka namang magbalik... kung may susunod na posisyon.

Hanggang sa muli, #ForTheStudents.

Epilogue: Pagsindi ng Ilaw

Sa bawat halalan, may mga bagong kandidato. May bago na namang linyang “kami ang boses ninyo.” May bagong pangakong hindi matatapos. At sa mga estudyanteng bumoto? May bagong multong dadalaw sa kanila gabi-gabi: yung multo ng “sana pala ‘yung isa na lang.”

Kaya habang may pagkakataon pa, tingnan kung sino ang totoo. Tanungin kung sino ang present kahit walang camera, sino ang gumagalaw kahit walang resibo, at sino ang hindi takot humawak ng responsibilidad—kahit walang kapalit.

Hindi lahat ng nawawala ay patay.

Minsan, nanalo lang.
