An Engaging Government

"An engaging government is a leadership that goes to the frontiers to build relationships among institutions and people for best results."


a. Culture and Arts Engagement – the government shall foster a greater engagement of our heritage through active participation in the efforts of Xavier Center for Culture and Arts. A special liaison officer will be appointed that mediates the student government and its said office.

b. Engaged Citizenship – the government shall build a lasting partnership with the KKP-SIO for its effort of building a socially committed government who is a force in engaging pertinent local, national, and international socio-political issues. The Department of Ministry and Social Action shall asses the top 3 issues the government will be engaging for the academic year and plot appropriate actions.

c. Formation Track Engagement – the government shall play a major role in crafting the student formation track of the university. We support to move the NSTP to second year level to better facilitate the formation process. We believe that the NSTP is more effective when it is designed as a response of the insights gained in the Freshmen Formation Program. We shall also actively engage for the development and integration of the different activities of the CMO (retreats and recollection), FFP (inclusion of a student leadership module in FFP), and the Persons Program.

d. Environmental Engagement – the government shall strongly engage environment concerns especially with in campus. It shall support the creation of a multi sectoral coalition which is tasked to lead the solid management waste efforts of the campus. Moreover, the government shall continue to tap opportunities to lobby a styro-free campus policy, regulation of tarpaulins and the integration of student led efforts on the environment.
