OPTICS / FLEDGLINGS THE QUANTUM ACADEMY TQA elects new SG Officers by: Koleen Omila T he Quantum Academy, Inc. elected the new set of Student Government(SG) officers for SY 2014-2015, February 21. The most sought-after position of presidency was battled over by the top students of next year’s senior class: Keziah Acharon (IGNITE party), Jose Cahilsot (LOTS party), Paula Alcasid (Independent), and Adah Rafael (Independent). However, among these aspirants, it was Acharon who pelted the highest office in the student government amassing nearly over twice the votes of the candidate who came next. Meanwhile, only two 8th graders from sections A and B ran for the office of vice president - Roma Bartolome (IGNITE) and Leanne Morales (LOTS). It was a close fight between the two candidates, Morales only winning by a very thin margin. As for the secretariat position, two students from the grade 9 class and an eighth grader ran for the said office namely: Bianca Aquino (IGNITE), Dwayne Cabel (LOTS), and Cherish Blando (Independent). Out of the three candidates, it was Aquino who was named secretary. On the other hand, a rematch was witnessed between the two former rivals - John Rafael (IGNITE) and Aaron Du (Independent) for the position of treasurer. Du won the previous school year, but Rafael won this year after much help from his party - garnering nearly twice the votes of his competitor. Ria Constantino (LOTS), a grade 9 student and Inigo Aquino (IGNITE), a grade 7 student, fought for the position of auditor. In the end, it was the older candidate that emerged victorious. Several students politicked for the position of class representative in their respective classes. The triumphant candidates were Rhino Llido for grade 10, Kristia Pimentel for grade 9B, Seth Alegado for grade 9A, Jessa Lumawag for grade 8B, and Gian Regollo for grade 8A.
