Sen. Lapid 'visits' UCV: Where was the forum?

Sen. Lito "Leon Guerrero" Lapid takes selfies with UCV students

Classes were suspended as Senator Lito Lapid, famous for his role as Leon Guerrero, the bullet-splitting masked rider of the 80's, "visited" the University of Cagayan Valley last Feb. 3, 2016 in a bid to gather votes for his son, Mark Lapid who is running for senator under the Liberal Party.

The campaign program was held in a Greyhounds gymnasium full of students from the various schools and colleges of the university.

Faculty members and members of the administration such as the Chief of Staff, the Vice Presidents for Legal Affairs, Finance, Research, and Academics, as well as some Deans and Directors also attended the activity.

Choosing the Right Candidate

The first question that we should ask a candidate is, “Who are you?” In this question, we try to know the background of the candidate in terms of his educational attainment, the environment where he or she grew up and the family for which he or she was raised, and his character as a person. Is he or she a God-fearing fellow? The popularity and the good-looking aura of a candidate are not a guarantee of his leadership.
