Dear fellow student leaders,

In 2013, the Filipino people witnessed several events that heavily challenged our spirits. From the pork

barrel scam to the devastation of Typhoon Yolanda in the Visayas, young people’s role in nation-building

has become more relevant than ever. The call for solidarity among the different student and youth

organizations all over the country is as strong as the burdens that our country faces in the present and in

the uncertain future.

With more than 6,000 human casualties, the super-typhoon has brought a plethora of emotions among

us: from deep grief to anger, from distrust to cynicism. But throughout history, young people’s idealism

has strengthened nations and movements to wade through turbulent times.

It is in this light that the Student Council Alliance of the Philippines [The Alliance] holds on to one of its

founding principles: the solidarity among our ranks in the student movement and the solidarity owed to

the different sectors, especially those whose lives have been adversely affected by Typhoon Yolanda.

The Alliance, the largest student council and student political party formation in the country, invites

you to a gathering of all allied student political parties and student councils in the largest student

solidarity network in rebuilding the lives of our fellow Filipinos: the 9th

National Congress with the

theme BUILD BETTER TOGETHER this May 29-June 1, 2014 will be held in Iloilo, one of the provinces

struck by the super-typhoon.

The Congress will also venture to welcome new members, to reaffirm the organization’s guiding

principles, to report the accomplishments of the previous leadership, and to elect the new leaders of the

organization. For your perusal, please see attached program and confirmation form. Kindly contact our

Deputy Secretary-General Ruevin Serrano at 0927-887-3010 or email us at [email protected].

Magbinuligay kita!

For student empowerment,

MS. HEART DINO

Chairperson

Student Council Alliance of the Philippines



STUDENT COUNCIL ALLIANCE OF THE PHILIPPINES

9TH

NATIONAL CONGRESS: BUILD BETTER TOGETHER

MAY 29- JUNE 1, 2014

The Alliance’s National Congress takes place every two years to gather allied student political

parties and student councils in a venture to welcome new members, to reaffirm the

organization’s guiding principles, to report the accomplishments of the previous leadership, and

to elect the new leaders of the organization.

Political fora also make up a big part of the Congress. The campaigns joined and spearheaded

by SCAP, such as Youth Against Pork, Students’ Rights and Welfare Bill, and FOI Bill are

highlighted in these events.

However, the main focus of this year’s Congress is on the rehabilitation of our fellow students

in Northern Iloilo, one of the areas severely affected by the typhoon.

STUDENT COUNCIL ALLIANCE OF THE PHILIPPINES is one with these efforts. As first proof of

SCAP’s commitment to our student-brothers and sisters affected by the calamity, the

organization will adopt several public schools in Estancia and Carles, Iloilo. The 9th Congress is

more than just a leadership and capacity building event. It is also an avenue to help our youth

leaders commit to a deeper sense of nation-building and to awaken the spirit of bayanihan and

solidarity.

How can I join the Cause?

The registration fee will cover the accommodation and meals of the participants. The fee is PhP

3,000.00 per individual delegate who will register on or before May 9, 2014. Regular

registration fee is at PhP 4,000.00 per individual delegate.
