Chris Badana, Kalayaan’s College of Business Administration (CBA) presidential candidate, said that the most important project in their platform is a spiritual stress management seminar.

Among the three top projects in their platform, both Badana and vice presidential candidate Samantha Labonera chose ‘#JesusAndMe’ as the most relevant for the CBA community. They claimed that it is something new that “caters to the needs of the students.”

“If you’re going to look at the three courses, which is JPIA, ManSoc, and PSCAS, they are all stressed,” said Badan, referring to the three student organizations in their college. Labonera inferred that stress leads to depression and suicide.

“The main objective of #JAM is to remove the stress by getting someone who is an expert in giving a stress management seminar,” Badana stated. Likewise, he explained that it is open to all religions.

When asked about how this project will benefit non-believers, vice presidential candidate Labonera defended, “Hindi naman siya about sa religion; kung ano yung pinaniniwalaan mo. Ibi-build namin dun yung relationship mo with God.”

In addition, Badana has a resource speaker in mind. “I am thinking of Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle because I’ve been attending most of the talks of our dearly beloved cardinal and I am aiming to give that joy in my heart to be felt by my co-Tycoons,” he said.

Other events in their platform include “LINK” (Leadership Innovation NetworK), which is a one-day camp out and team building, and “How to be StuPid” (Studyanteng Matipid), which is a financial literacy seminar.
