He stressed the importance of being aware of ones actions because it defines ones self and the office as well. The ramifications of the officers acts, according to Mr. Bagcal, will also reach not only themembers of the Council but also the constituents and the critics.

The office is far from neutral. Leadership is far from neutral. Leadership does not exist in a vacuum. Principledefines leadership, said the outgoing Chairperson.

He told the Department Representatives that they will be overworked and underappreciated. He added that aDepartment Representatives role is very crucial because it is the Student Councils face to the departments.Therefore, one must give justice to the said position.

council will aid Sinag with regards to this issue. Mr. Santos replied in kind, expressing Sinags openness to aid thecouncil.
