It's officially Asian Parliamentary season here in the 𝐔𝐈𝐂 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲! With that, our trainees have undergone a fruitful lecture on creating 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 last December 3, 2025 that will surely add impact to their team cases. 💬

Additionally, with AP debates comes an extra layer of thrill in the debating process, which is why our resident officers have given a new lecture on 𝐯𝐞𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬, describing how to successfully process and facilitate a veto before the start of a round. 🧑‍⚖️

All these preparations and more are only the beginning of a fresh new chapter for our debaters and adjudicators. Here's to more and beyond! ☝️🌸
