𝙊𝙋𝙄𝙉𝙄𝙊𝙉 | 𝗔𝗻 𝗢𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗱—𝗜𝘁 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴

Student leadership begins not with victory at the polls, but with the willingness to serve. An oath of officer is more than a ceremonial tradition—it is a public commitment to fulfill the responsibilities entrusted by the student body. When an elected officer resigns barely a week after taking that oath, the position left behind becomes more than an empty seat; it raises questions about preparedness, accountability, and commitment.

The recent resignation of a newly sworn-in School of Business Administration Student Organization (SBASO) officer has created a vacancy at a time when the organization should already be planning and delivering programs for its constituents. While every individual has the right to step down for valid personal or academic reasons, accepting a leadership position also carries the responsibility of carefully considering whether one is ready to serve before making that commitment.

A vacant position immediately after an oath disrupts continuity within the organization. It places additional responsibilities on the remaining officers, delays organizational plans, and may require another selection or appointment process. More importantly, it affects the confidence of the students who participated in the election and placed their trust in the officers they elected.

Leadership is not about the title or the recognition that comes with winning an election. It is about honoring the promise made to those who believed in one's capability to serve. If uncertainty exists, it is better to resolve it before taking the oath than after publicly accepting the responsibility.

This situation also highlights the importance of preparing future student leaders—not only through elections, but by instilling a clear understanding of the commitment, accountability, and sacrifices that leadership demands. Student organizations thrive when officers view their positions not as achievements to celebrate, but as responsibilities to uphold.

As SBASO moves forward, the priority should not merely be filling the vacant seat but restoring confidence in the organization. Leadership is measured not by how quickly positions are occupied, but by how faithfully those positions are carried out until the end of the mandate.

Ka-YES! Sana nakahabol kayo. Best of luck future Entrepreneurs.

BS ENTREP IS NOW OFFICIALLY CLOSED.

The School of Business Administration would like to inform all aspiring applicants that online registration for the Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship (BS ENT) program will officially close on June 29, 2026, exactly at 01:30PM.

Due to the overwhelming number of applications received, interested applicants who have not yet registered are advised to consider their second-choice program and proceed with the corresponding application process.

June 22, 2026— The School of Business Administration (SBA) announced that only one section per program will be opened for the Academic Year 2026–2027. Each program will accommodate a maximum of 55 students.

SBA OIC-Dean Mr. Christian Paul M. Marcial confirmed the announcement. He said the decision was made because of the limited number of classrooms, facilities, and faculty members available in the college.

According to Mr. Marcial, the decision also follows the directive of the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

“𝘏𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘭𝘪 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘺𝘰𝘯 𝘯𝘢 𝘪𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘢𝘩𝘪𝘭 𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘮 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘬 𝘴𝘢 𝘚𝘉𝘈. 𝘕𝘨𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵 𝘬𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘪𝘺𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯 𝘯𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘪 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘥 𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘬𝘢𝘴𝘺𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘣𝘪𝘴𝘺𝘰 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘴𝘢 𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦," he said.

At present, the college has three makeshift classrooms and one converted classroom located at the annex building. Managing classroom schedules for first-year to fourth-year students remains a challenge for the college.

Mr. Marcial also shared that the faculty members agreed to limit enrollment to one section per program. During a faculty meeting, Ms. Christine Marie B. Fernandez suggested the measure to help maintain the quality of teaching and learning in the college.

Despite the limited resources, SBA continues to produce quality graduates and receive awards in local, regional, and national competitions.

The reduced number of students may affect the budget of the student organization and its participation in university activities. However, Mr. Marcial remains positive.

“𝘈𝘴 𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘦, 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴. 𝘞𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴," he said.

As of last week, 84 applicants have already completed their interviews. The results of qualified applicants are expected to be released on July 3, 2026.

The admissions committee is still reviewing applications and interview results. Applicants who do not meet the qualifications are advised to consider other programs offered by the university.

“𝘞𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘥𝘮𝘪𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘴,"Mr. Marcial added.

With limited slots available, SBA remains committed to providing quality education and meaningful learning experiences for its students.
