A Call to Integrity Assumption Student Council Seeks Removal of Legarda'
Legarda's Portrait from University Wall

As a community that values integrity, courage of conviction, and social res
responsibility, the Assumption Student Council (ASC) has taken a bold step 
by seeking the removal of Senator Loren Legarda's portrait from the univers
university's Wall of Empowered Women. This decision is a testament to their
their commitment to upholding the highest standards of leadership, despite 
the challenges that come with it.

The ASC's call to action is rooted in their concern about Legarda's recent 
political actions, which they believe no longer reflect the values that Ass
Assumption College San Lorenzo holds dear. Specifically, her vote for Alan 
Peter Cayetano as Senate president and her subsequent support for the trans
transmission of the Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Sara Dut
Duterte have raised questions about her commitment to upholding justice and
and integrity.

This is not an easy decision to make, said a member of the ASC. However,
However, we believe that our institution should stand by its values, even 
when it's tough. We want to be clear our concern is not with Senator Legar
Legarda as a person, but with the impact her actions have on our community 
and the values we represent.

The council's call for removal is not taken lightly. It requires a level of
of introspection and self-reflection that can be difficult, especially when
when it involves questioning the actions of someone who was once an alumna 
of distinction. However, the ASC believes that this step is necessary to en
ensure that the university's values are upheld and its community remains a 
beacon of integrity.

The council's statement emphasized the importance of leaders acting with in
integrity, exercising social responsibility, and upholding courage of convi
conviction. They called on Legarda to reflect on her principles and values 
as both a student and a public figure, urging her to rebuild trust with the
the Assumption College community.

We express our earnest hope that Senator Legarda will confront this moment
moment with integrity and a clear sense of duty, said the council. It rem
remains within her capacity to prove that the trust we once had in her was 
not misplaced.

As the university community continues to grapple with these complex issues,
issues, the ASC's decision serves as a reminder that upholding values is no
not always easy or popular. However, it is essential for building a strong 
and just society.
