We, the undersigned members of the executive council of UPV Elektrons, alongside our advisers, formally clarify our position regarding the Impeachment Complaint Against Governor Negapatan and his subsequent suspension by the UPV CAS Student Council.

We would like to convey, first and foremost, that the aforementioned complaint was initiated through a collective decision undertaken by members of the Executive Council and the organization’s advisers, particularly through the initiative and participation of the Finance Vice Governors, in the exercise of our constitutional duty to uphold accountability, transparency, and the integrity of the organization’s operations and finances.

The complaint and subsequent findings stemmed from concerns raised internally regarding financial accountability and instances of misconduct observed during the course of the administration. These concerns were then internally documented, consolidated, and subsequently elevated to the CAS Student Council in accordance with the governing frameworks of the UPV Elektrons’ Constitution, as well as the Constitution of the UPV CAS Student Council.

We wish to assure our constituents and the wider public that these actions were undertaken with the utmost care and due diligence necessary for a measure with the gravity of that of an impeachment complaint. This decision was not taken lightly, and was made in good faith, taking cognizance of our responsibility to protect the welfare, trust, and institutional integrity of UPV Elektrons.

As officers, we are entrusted with safeguarding the organization and the members whom we serve, we believe that these accountability mechanisms exist not to create instability, but to preserve the confidence of the student body and ensure that our leadership remains answerable to the community we serve.

Amid the temporary suspension of Governor Negapatan, the organization likewise assures its constituents that internal restructuring and transitional measures are currently being undertaken to ensure continuity of operations, organizational stability, and continued service to the membership during this period.

In these times, we also call on all members of UPV Elektrons, as well as the general public, to allow due process to take its course with the fairness, maturity, and respect for all parties involved, that a matter of this nature so requires. We discourage any harassment, misinformation, and personal attacks, and instead encourage our community to remain guided by truth and the principles of responsible student leadership.

Above all, we maintain that, as proceedings continue, our foremost focus and responsibility is the protection of UPV Elektrons, the preservation of its integrity, and the welfare of the constituents whom we are sworn to serve and to whom we are ultimately accountable.

They said "I might look all innocent," and we took that personally! 😈✨

As March comes to an end, we, the UPV Elektrons, honor National Women’s Month—a celebration that, for decades, has recognized women’s achievements, labor rights, gender equality, and empowerment, while also reminding us of the injustices and challenges women continue to face. Though the month concludes today, the fight for equality and justice is far from over.

Women globally face inequalities in workspaces, education, reproductive rights, healthcare, and political representation, perpetuated by a discriminatory system historically reared to perceive women as less capable, and a patriarchal society that normalizes prejudice against women.

These realities are intensified in the Philippines with the current state of the government and society. There have been multiple occurrences where influential people in power have made crude and disrespectful comments. These sexist and misogynistic remarks, coming from public servants whose words carry deep weight, normalize and condone sexualization, objectification, and harassment against women. Taking into account that these people are in public office, these comments are not only words but steps backwards from a safe, empowering, and inclusive system that women are continuously advocating for.

Great efforts have been exerted towards legal reforms, women's empowerment, anti-violence against women, grassroots activism, and gender equality. It is important to note that what women fight for and have achieved in this endeavor is not only monumental for themselves, but is also vital in honing a place where women of future generations are given equal opportunities and are not seen as objects who exist for the pleasure of men.

As Elektrons, we stand against any form of gender-based violence and discrimination. UPV Elektrons is an organization composed of science and technology—fields in which women are a significant part of. Acknowledging their contributions, achievements, and efforts towards an innovative and data-powered society is an advancement towards women's empowerment. In a world where women were once not able to pursue education and academic endeavors, it is essential to recognize the importance of championing an equitable, inclusive, and empowering society, where women do not have to suffer from misogyny and prejudice in their efforts towards leading and shaping society.

As we close this month of celebrating women, we call on the Filipino people to cease any form of gender-based violence, advocate for women’s rights, and demand accountability from people in power who contribute to structural barriers limiting women from living freely in a society that they don’t have to prove their place in.
Let us be reminded that honoring and respecting the struggles and achievements of Filipino women is not limited to National Women’s Month—it is a commitment we must uphold every day.

The UPV Elektrons formally announces the withdrawal of our candidates from the Busalian Kang CAS (BKCAS) 2026. This is a final, collective stance that our candidates have decided upon and that our organization fully supports. We release this statement not as an admission of defeat, but as a necessary act of resistance against a culture of over-extension. We stand firm in valuing our participants’ welfare and organizational integrity over compliance.

The organization wants to clarify that this withdrawal is not a reflection of a lack of capability or failure on the part of our candidates. We appreciate and respect the immense labor, heart, and intellect they poured into this journey. Both candidates accepted to represent the academic organization with a clear, radical vision: to utilize the platform of the protest pageant to amplify the urgent calls of the Women’s and LGBTQIA+ sectors.

However, the reality of their preparation was a stark contrast to their advocacies. Our candidates were made to go beyond their roles, even becoming their own logistics coordinators, creative directors, and principal researchers, all tasks that were supposed to have been carried by a strong support system. We publicly recognize their efforts, and we offer our deepest apologies that our candidates were made to carry the burden of an entire organization while being expected to deliver perfection on stage.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗣𝗩 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗸𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁. 𝗪𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴:

𝟭) 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗱𝗛𝗼𝗰 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: Although we had tasks outlined and committees delegated as early as January, there was a lack of complete onboarding. As academic pressures and personal responsibilities mounted alongside the university’s major events (Pahampang and CAS Week), the structure collapsed. We encountered a crisis of unresponsiveness from various committees, leaving our candidates isolated.

𝟮) 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: Due to delayed procurement processes, coupled with a strong focus on concurrent major events such as Pahampang 2026, CAS Week (CAS Organization Fair & Battle of the Bands), Paindisanay 2026, our candidates were left to use their own money to procure logistics. This is a direct failure of the organization to provide material conditions to its representatives.

𝟯) 𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The lack of responsiveness from key committees created a leadership vacuum that the handful of dedicated committees (especially the Culture & Arts Committee)—who were already juggling multiple responsibilities between the major events—had to take up more tasks than needed.

Despite our candidates’ willingness to go beyond the scope of their responsibilities, we failed to give them the strong and consistent support and guidance that they deserved. As a leadership body, we acknowledge with full responsibility that we fell short in matching the level of commitment, dedication, and passion of our candidates due to our lapses in coordination and ex*****on.

In this process, we also recognize that there were genuine efforts from the committees within the organization to support our candidates. The Culture and Arts Committee who worked beyond just developing the team’s creative direction, while the Education and Research (EDRES) Committee facilitated educational discussions to ground our candidates’ advocacies. These initiatives reflect the commitment of individual members and committees who stepped up despite structural limitations.

𝗛𝗼𝘄𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀.

In this context, we view this moment not only as a recognition of internal challenges, but also as an opportunity to reflect on broader systemic concerns affecting student leadership. The overlap of Pahampang, CAS Week, and BKCAS with an already demanding academic workload created significant strain, highlighting the need for more balanced and sustainable scheduling practices. While we appreciate the CASSC’s effort to alleviate the situation through a minor schedule adjustment, this experience underscores the importance of clearer coordination, well-defined guidelines, and proactive planning. Moving forward, strengthening these aspects can help ensure that future initiatives are both meaningful and supportive of students’ overall well-being, placing their welfare at the forefront of all activities.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗣𝗩 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗸𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴. Our priority has shifted from public performance to the recovery of our candidates and the mending of our internal ties. We want to clarify that withdrawing to this pageant is not leaving the cause. The struggle for the rights of women and LGBTQIA+ sectors is not something that needs a pageant sash to exist. We will continue this struggle through grassroots organizing, educational discussions, and true community-building. UPV Elektrons will still be participating in the Busalian Kang CAS 2026. While we are no longer participating as candidates, we have been granted a dedicated segment for a cultural performance and speech. This platform ensures that we can remain steadfast in our commitment to advocating for the Women and LGBTQIA+ sectors.
