Lasallians dominate national leadership congress

Five De La Salle University-Manila students were selected to be part of the 3rd National Ayala Young Leaders Congress, forming the biggest contingent to the annual leadership workshop sponsored by the Ayala Group of Companies.

Emmeline Aglipay, Paraluman Cruz, Carlo Josemaria Rubio, Faith Jolina Santiago, and Aileen Segura will join 65 other outstanding student leaders from the best colleges and universities from all over the country to participate in a three-day congress that features lectures, outdoor activities, plenary sessions, and discussions.

The meet, which will be held at the Andres Soriano Management Training Center in Tagaytay city from February 7 to 9, allows outstanding young leaders to network with their peers and listen to young and successful entrepreneurs and professionals.

Aglipay, AB Economics major, is the incumbent vice president for operations while AB Communication Arts sophomore Cruz is the batch representative of FAST ’99.

Biology student Rubio, on the other hand, is the legislative assembly representative of FOCUS ’99 and Santiago, a European Studies and Advertising major, is the editor in chief of The LaSallian.

Completing the list is Segura, Psychology and Advertising student, who currently serves as the chair of the Council of Student Organizations.

Prior to their selection, the five Lasallians had to go through a rigorous application process that includes the student’s accomplishments and achievements in international, national, local, or school organizations. Apart from this, the process also requires a string of recommendations from faculty advisers, application evaluation, and panel interviews by senior executives of the Ayala Group.
