Friday night is results night

Aimee Chua leads Santugon to an upset in this year’s General Election, with the yellows taking three out of six executive board positions and four out of six college assemly presidencies.

Although no numbers are available yet, Aimee beat her opponent, Tapat standard bearer Ron Semira. Nadia Ong is elected as academics vice president, beating Leah Villalon. Pierre Lim has won the treasurer slot, beating Mikko Hizon.

Tapat’s Kat Regalado took the activities vice presidency position against Vernon de Guzman. Chichi Tullao is elected as operations vice president, beating Gil Bautista, while Cabe Aquino won as secretary, beating Mae Ong.

Santugon took the university’s three biggest colleges: Jinkay Manimbo won as assembly president of the CBE, beating Ange Yapyuco; Lorenz de Castro beat Vero Zamesa for the CLA assembly presidency; and Alex Narciso beat Resti Caroro for the same position for the COE. Glecer Bautista also won for the yellows, taking the assembly presidency for the CCS. Tapat scores the assembly presidencies in the CED and COS; Sherwin Diu beat Mau Bacierto, and AC Cristobal beat Bethel Ledesma.

Unverified reports see Santugon took 38 batch-level positions, swiping an overwhelming majority in the CCS (11-1) and CBE (9-3). They also took a slightly closer 7-5 majority in the COE. Tapat had an overwhelming 2-8 majority in the CED. It was a tight match for the CLA, with Tapat taking a 5-7 lead; and COS, with both parties splitting at 4-4.

21.30: Aimee won by around 700 votes, while Nadia won by a more comfortable 1000 votes. Kat and Chichi took their slots by around 350 votes, while Cabe won by perhaps the smallest margin imaginable: 25 votes.
