CPU welcomed the return of face-to-face grand rally for the first time since the pandemic at Rose Memorial Auditorium on June 13.

The campaign rally aimed to provide an avenue for aspiring student leaders of the CPU Republic to introduce themselves and their respective platforms.

“Despite some minor delay, we manage to do our work and delivered a successful and peaceful election,” said Marie Venice Noble, chairperson of CPUR Commission on Election (CPUR Comelec).

Moreover, a question and answer portion, with The Central Echo as the officiating panelists, and a fast-talk segment were prepared for the national government candidates of the aforementioned parties, to assess the stances of the aspiring leaders on various topics.

“We did not expect it to be such a successful election. Despite the setbacks we faced throughout this activity, I was so happy to deliver an election that is free from conflict.Hopefully, the next election will be as peaceful,” Noble added.

Noble was thankful throughout the entire election because it was a big step in welcoming the return of various face-to-face activities in CPU after two years of the online class setup.

“To my fellow commissioners, thank you very much for devoting your time and effort despite your busy schedules. Thank you, Centralians, for the support and by voting in the election. The entire CPUR Comelec felt your support, understanding, and patience. I hope you will continue to support us in the next election, as well as in other face-to-face activities at CPU,” Noble said.

The grand campaign rally was also aired live on CPU’s official Facebook pages. C
