Accompanied by their PR team, Ms. Grace Poe and Sen. Chiz Escudero entered the university gym and were welcomed by the students from the various departments, faculty and staff. The two candidates took the seats allotted for them, introduced themselves and encouraged the students to voice out their concerns regarding “anything under the sun”, as Sen. Escudero stressed.

One concern after another poured for almost an hour of discussion regarding matters that concerned politics, education, economy and others and the two candidates attended the inquiries within their means to relay their opinions of such issues. Though it was not all about serious talk, jokes were also thrown into the discussion to lighten up the mood, most especially when Sen. Escudero said “Kay Grace yung mga seryosong tanong, yung mga hindi seryosong tanong, ako sasagot,”.

After ending the discussion and before the two candidates leave for another agenda, the Paulinians gathered around them for a photograph session.
