Advocacy

Holistic Accessible Quality Education

Every student deserves a fair opportunities. Angels cannot soar high and fly straight if their wings are not equal. Education is the key to a brighter future, and how bright the future is if everyone doesn’t get the same opportunities. Here at Holy Angel University, education is a right, not a privilege. But for many students, financial struggles, lack of resources, and limited opportunities make this right harder to achieve. That’s why I, as a member of SANLIYAB - stand for Equity, Quality, and Accessibility in Education—because no student should be left behind. A fair and just system paves the way for true student empowerment. Equity means fair access to scholarship programs, ensuring that every student—especially those who most in need—gets the opportunity to pursue higher learning without financial burdens. Quality—producing sharp-minded, proactive, educated, skilled, and confident Angelites—future leaders is also called a teacher of today, who think critically, innovate boldly, teaching confidently and act with purpose. Education should empower students not just to learn, not just to lead, but to teach. Accessibility is that education should be open to everyone, but with priority given to those who need it most. No Angelite should be denied an education because of their circumstances. SANLIYAB are committed to promoting freedom, equality, justice, and democracy in every student’s academic journey. Do you want a future built on fairness, excellence, and opportunity? Then let us start it today! Together, let’s break barriers, uplift one another, and start a future where truly no student is left behind.

“I never knew that this young leader is passionate and great in dealing with people—not until I get to know him more. Leister is literally the wild card of Sanliyab Party. I never thought that he would be part of our line up not until the last minute. At first, I was hesitant of him because I don’t know him and we did not get a chance to work. Doubts and worry has filled me because I really don’t have an idea of his personality and the way he works. However, everything changed when I get to know him through our master class and training. This young leader can deliver! He works tirelessly to get things done! His passion in serving is undeniably great and I know that his personality can bring a new dynamics in the university student council. The role of a USC-Director is not that easy and it require a lot of passion and motivation, and I know that leister is the perfect candidate for the job! The way he works, his meticulousness, and passion to serve is what keeps him fired up! Vote leister and see how great things can be with his leadership!”

“Leister Benedict is not just a leader, but also a true servant, something I’ve seen firsthand. As his friend and co-member of the altar server in the St. James Ministry of Altar Servers, I’ve watched him grow from one of the younger members into a reliable and dedicated friend. Even though our work is voluntary, Leister always went above and beyond. He showed up early, stayed after Mass to help clean up, and even organized meetings to reflect and improve our work. What makes Leister stand out is how he managed all of this while balancing his academic and personal life. He didn’t do it for recognition, but out of his genuine desire to serve God and others. This commitment shows that beyond his achievements as a student, Leister is someone who is always ready to serve, expecting nothing in return. Even when he became the coordinator, Leister never lost his humility. He knew when to take charge and when to listen to others. As someone who advocates for servant leadership, I’m proud to say that Leister is exactly the kind of leader and servant we need in our community. Good leadership begins with serving others, and Leister is one of the best servants I’ve had the privilege to work with. Leister has become not only a role model but also a true friend, someone I can always count on, both in ministry and in life.”
