Seven candidates for the UST Central Student Council convene for “Botomasino: The Election Forum” on Monday, April 13, at the Engineering Conference Hall of the Roque Ruaño Building.

Organized by The Varsitarian in partnership with the Thomasian Debaters Council, the forum featured a question-and-answer segment and a “Vouch and Veto” round, where candidates were pressed on their platforms and positions on key campus and national issues.
