𝗜𝗡 𝗠𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗔𝗠: 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗿. 𝗥𝗲𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗼 "𝗔𝗧𝗢" 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗱

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Engr. Renato S. David, the Founding Editor-in-Chief of The Solution, who departed from us last January 1, 2025.

In June 1986, during the post-Marcos era at Holy Angel University's School of Engineering and Architecture in Angeles City, Engr. David, together with fellow student leader Ronaldo Juanatas, established The Solution—the official student publication of the School of Engineering and Architecture. This groundbreaking initiative stemmed from their vision to advance the rights and welfare of engineering students, providing a platform for their voices to be heard.

Under his leadership as the founding Editor-in-Chief, The Solution became a cornerstone of student advocacy and information dissemination within the engineering community. The publication’s name, thoughtfully chosen through consultations with students and faculty, reflected its engineering roots and its commitment to positive change.

The funeral service will be held until January 4, 2025, at Holy Mary Chapel F, and he will be laid to rest on January 5, 2025, 9am at the Holy Mary Memorial in Angeles City.

His enduring legacy lives on through The Solution and the countless lives he touched throughout his journey. May he rest in eternal peace.

The Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers - Holy Angel University Student Chapter (PICE-HAUSC) emerged as the overall champion of SEA Days 2024, ending the two-year reign of the Society of Aerospace Engineers of the Philippines - Holy Angel University Student Chapter (SAEP-HAUSC). This victory marked a dramatic shift in the annual competition, which featured intense rivalries and unexpected challenges.

PICE-HAUSC demonstrated exceptional teamwork and skill throughout the events, ultimately surpassing SAEP-HAUSC, who claimed the 1st Runner-Up position. The Philippine Institute of Industrial Engineers—Holy Angel University Student Chapter (PIIE-HAUSC) secured the 2nd Runner-Up spot.

The competition's conclusion faced complications when scoring discrepancies emerged. In response, the College Student Council of the School of Engineering and Architecture (CSC-SEA) held a meeting after the awarding ceremony on Friday, December 13, 2024, to review and verify the scoring process.

As final results were delayed, speculation grew about a possible tie for the overall championship. Today, December 17, 2024, CSC-SEA confirmed the official standings, validating PICE-HAUSC as the champions.

SEA Days 2024 stood out for its thrilling competitions and the strong sense of unity it created within the School of Engineering and Architecture. The event not only celebrated PICE-HAUSC's victory but also showcased the determination and resilience of all participating organizations.

For PICE-HAUSC, this championship represents more than a title—it reflects their dedication, excellence, and team spirit. While SAEP-HAUSC's championship streak has ended, their proven capabilities suggest they'll remain strong competitors in future events.

SEA Days 2024 sets a lasting example, inspiring future students to pursue excellence while upholding the values of sportsmanship, collaboration, and unity. Congratulations to all winners of this year's School of Engineering and Architecture Days.

When students entrust their voices to a leader, they expect integrity, action, and accountability. Yet here we are, halfway through the term, with nothing to show but empty promises, delayed events, and a council that's more phantom than presence. Elected unopposed—a victory handed to them without challenge—our current student leaders entered office promising positive change. They swore an oath to serve, yet their only service has been to their own status. Where is the leadership? Where is the action? We must face reality: they are outbound for anything but service.

The semester began with excitement and high hopes. Campaign slogans promised unity, engagement, and campus improvement. Students believed these words, even without opposing candidates. There was a promise of leadership that would unite us. But now, halfway through the term, what do we see? Events and initiatives remain in perpetual planning, and even the student council roster is shrouded in mystery. We, the students, deserve to know: what kind of leadership leaves itself incomplete?

A complete roster was part of their pledge, yet positions remain unfilled. How can a council represent us when it can't even complete its own ranks? These vacancies signal more than logistical failure—they reveal disorganization, poor planning, and perhaps a lack of commitment. An incomplete team means an unfulfilled promise to the student body. Each empty position is a void where action and support should exist, leaving silence where strong voices should speak.

To lead is to be present, visible, and available. Our council's silence and lack of accountability speak louder than their campaign promises ever did. It's hard to trust leadership that fails to communicate, especially when they have so much to answer. Students deserve real answers, not vague posts or unfulfilled announcements. Why is the roster incomplete? Why are plans consistently delayed? Most importantly, where are the leaders we were promised?

Leadership demands more than a title—it requires action. A title means nothing without responsibility and service. Running unopposed isn't permission for complacency; it's a mandate to work harder to earn the trust of those who voted. Yet our student council coasts on their unchallenged election, treating their positions as social perks rather than duties of service.

While some might say conflicts and delays are inevitable, leadership demands accountability. It means rising to challenges, even when plans go awry. When students elect leaders, they aren't just bestowing titles—they're investing their trust, needs, and aspirations. Elected unopposed or not, leaders must never grow complacent. Complacency has no place in leadership. Titles don't make leaders; actions do.

We call on student leaders to honor their commitment—not just to hold office, but to lead meaningfully. Complete your roster, engage with students, and prove you're more than names on a webpage. We deserve leaders who understand that an oath of office demands active service, not passive presence.

Those seeking leadership for popularity or personal gain betray the students' interests, occupying positions that could be filled by those devoted to real change. It's time to step up, show up, and lead by example. We don't demand perfection—we demand accountability. We want leaders who honor their word, value transparency and serve rather than simply stand.

If you pledged an oath to lead, then lead. Because right now, our leaders seem bound by title but lost in purpose.
