LOOK | As part of the capstone project of grade 12 St. La Salle, Jeffrey Lotoc Burias, a teaching personnel at San Jose Academy and currently a Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) kagawad at Brgy. Daanghari, Navotas City, was invited to attend the Project Electorate seminar as one of the guest speakers last Friday, January 17, 2025.
When asked about his top three priorities in the elections, he emphasized being socially aware, educating ones self and others, and becoming responsible voters by actively participating in the political process. However, he only had a single piece of advice when it comes to choosing the best candidate to elect—to choose someone who has a full of love in serving others. “Lahat [ay] kayang maging magaling. Lahat [ay] kayang maging matalino. Pero hindi lahat [ay] kayang magkaroon ng puso sa serbisyo,” he claimed.
He also acknowledged how fortunate the selected student audiences are to become part of the project. According to Burias, “I do hope that this kind of platform will help you... Na mas lalo pa kayong maging attached, or to be politically aware.”
