𝗧𝗢 : THE BIOCHEMISTRY STUDENT BODY
𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 : UST BCS EXECUTIVE BOARD
𝗥𝗘 : RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR THE UST BIOCHEMISTRY SOCIETY EXECUTIVE BOARD ELECTIONS FOR AY 2026-2027

Greetings in the name of Saint Thomas Aquinas!

The UST Biochemistry Society, as the mother organization of the oldest BS Biochemistry program in the Philippines, remains steadfast and grounded in its mission and vision to support the academic and non-academic ventures of its members and empower them in their future careers and in their lives in general.

As the academic year nears its end, it is in the best interest of the current UST BCS Executive Board to ensure that the goals of the organization for its stakeholders will remain a priority and further be improved. Hence, to maintain the integrity and competence of this society, the Board recognizes that the sustainability of the initiatives of this organization rests upon a leadership anchored to its fellow students. The essence of true leadership begins when it is no longer about the leader, but about the community being served.

Aspiring student-leaders are encouraged to thoroughly read the succeeding pages for further information regarding the electoral procedures and qualifications.

May the new set of candidates uphold honor in servant leadership by embodying the Thomasian core values of competence, compassion, and commitment.

With heartfelt gratitude for a year filled with memories and hope as we approach the dawn of a new era, may the Lord bless and guide the future endeavors of this organization.
