Through unity, participation, and shared purpose, the Marian Allied in Political and Social Sciences (MAPSS) successfully held its General Assembly on September 5 at the Pedro Calungsod Hall, bringing MAPSSmates together for a day of meaningful discussions, camaraderie, and celebration.
Atty. Dwight Soyan Dangilan inspired the student body with a message centered on service and leadership: โIf you're chosen to be a public servant, serve. If you're chosen to be a leader, lead.โ
As he shared his insights on the latest issues in the country, Atty. Dangilan encouraged students to understand the responsibilities that come with holding positions in the field of law and public service. With the floor open for questions, students actively engaged in discussions and raised their concerns, gaining valuable perspectives from the guest speaker.
Beyond the discussions, the assembly also provided moments of fun and relaxation through humorous games and intermission numbers. Informative discussions on the Constitution and By-Laws (CBL) were likewise conducted, allowing MAPSSmates to become more acquainted with the organization's policies and responsibilities.
A significant moment of the gathering was the passing of responsibility from former Prime Minister Zinah Belle Manzano to the newly elected Prime Minister, Acel Dana Barias. The former officers formally welcomed the new set of officers as they took on their respective roles and embraced their new responsibilities.
Before the program concluded, MAPSS Adviser Nicole Anne Aquino delivered her closing remarks, congratulating the student body and extending her best wishes to the newly elected officers and all MAPSSmates. Through a heartwarming message filled with laughter and encouragement, she welcomed everyone into a new chapter and journey for the organization.
More than just an assembly, the gathering served as a reminder of MAPSS' commitment to unity, service, responsible leadership, and active participation. From meaningful conversations to lighthearted activities, every moment strengthened the bond among MAPSSmates and reaffirmed their shared purpose as students of Political and Social Sciences.
Together, we move forward. United in purpose, committed to service, and ready to shape the future, one motion at a time.
