The 2022 College of Social Sciences and Philosophy Student Council elections were held from May 2 to 16, 2022. This was part of the 2022 UP Diliman student council elections and was the second election to be held remotely.

Incumbent CSSP SC Councilor and Secretary-General Vayne del Rosario and her running mate incumbent Sociology Department Representative Cammy Consolacion won as Chairperson and Vice Chairperson, respectively, under the banner of SALiGAN sa CSSP. They defeated BUKLOD CSSP's Kim Pañares and Eena Dela Cruz, both incumbent Councilors. Incumbent CSSP SC Councilor Julian Formadero won as the College Representative to the USC under STAND UP, beating UP ALYANSA's Robin Traballo, who was incumbent CSSP SC Vice Chairperson.

Independent candidate and incumbent CSSP FST Council Internals Officer Hans Antiojo won the top Councilor post, making him the first independent top Councilor in recent history. Incumbent CSSP SC Psychology Department Representative Dale Delos Santos also won as Councilor, under BUKLOD CSSP.

del Rosario became the second consecutive CSSP SC Chairperson from SALiGAN sa CSSP after last term's Neo Aison and the second in the council's history. Formadero also became the second consecutive CSSP Representative to the USC from STAND UP, after Andre Arellano. Consolacion became the first CSSP SC Vice Chairperson from SALiGAN since 2017, and only the second in history.

This election completed all positions of the CSSP SC except for the History and Linguistics Department Representatives, where no candidate ran for both positions. These would remain vacant until November 29, 2022, when a special election was held for the positions.

Background[edit | edit source]

The CSSP Office of Student Affairs (CSSP OSA) released the election calendar on the May 23, 2022, coinciding with the first day of filing certificates of candidacy.[1] The deadline was initially set on April 1, although this was later extended to April 8.[2] On April 6, the CSSP OSA published the first official list of candidates for the 2022 election.[3] Both parties fielded candidates for the chairperson position, with BUKLOD CSSP's Kimberly Pañares, incumbent CSSP SC councilor, and SALiGAN sa CSSP's Vayne Altapascine del Rosario, also incumbent CSSP SC councilor. Both parties also fielded vice chairperson candidates, with incumbent CSSP SC councilor Kareena Alexandra Dela Cruz under BUKLOD and incumbent CSSP SC sociology department representative Veronica Marie Consolacion under SALiGAN.

BUKLOD put up incumbent CSSP SC psychology department representative Glendale Anne Delos Santos and philosophy student John Carl Salavarria as their candidates for councilor. Meanwhile, SALiGAN sent former CSSP FSTC geography department representative Francesca Mariae Duran and philosophy student Jewel Christopher Politico as their councilor candidates.

Incumbent CSSP FSTC anthropology department representative Chito Arceo Jr. submitted his candidacy as the anthropology department representative, running as an independent candidate. Former SINAG Editor-in-Chief Enzo Miguel De Borja submitted his candidacy as the political science department representative, also running as an independent. BUKLOD fielded Noellah Jeannica Macam for the position of psychology department representative, while SALIGAN submitted geography student Troy Owen Matavia, philosophy student Patricia Mae Dela Cruz, and incumbent CSSP FSTC sociology department representative Gabriel Camilo Cascolan as their respective departments' representatives.

Three more students were added in the second official list of candidates released on April 12.[4] These are Hans Matthew Antiojo, incumbent CSSP FSTC internal affairs officer running for councilor as an independent, Lady Ruth Aguinaldo, philosophy student running for councilor under SALiGAN, and Francine Rae Lacap, candidate for psychology department representative under BUKLOD. No party was able to field a complete slate.

On April 18, del Rosario and Consolacion filed their respective leaves of absence in anticipation of the campaign period. Alongside them, incumbent CSSP SC chairperson Neo Aison, who is running as USC councilor, and incumbent CSSP SC councilor Julian Matthew Formadero, who is running as the CSSP representative to the USC, also filed their leaves of absence. Deviating from tradition, no BUKLOD candidate filed for leave.

The campaign period ran from April 18 to May 1, while the polls were opened the day after, May 2, until the 8th.[1] UP Diliman Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs would later extend the voting period to May 12,[5] and again to May 16.[6]
