Why do you want to be the Chairman of the CYM?

I think most of you know how much I love this community and that is the primary reason why I wanted to be the chairman. I want to lead the community in reaching its goal, in fulfilling its mission which is to pass on God's love.

What are your plans for the community for this year?

I want to have more active members for the community and those active members will experience a deeper relationship with God through prayer meetings. At the end of the year, I want the community to have enough funds to support all the activities of the community. We will have lots of activities that will bond us and will make us better Christians.

What will you do to achieve these plans?
I will make a strong and powerful secretariat because they are the ones who will lead the community in achieving its goals.

Do you think being the chairman will be hard for you?

Yes, of course I know that there will be lots of challenges to encounter but I also know that I am not alone, I have Him and the secretariat and together, we'll face those challenges with a smile.

How will you encourage the people to attend the prayer meetings and convince them to stay active?

I want every member of the community to know that we still have prayer meetings every Sunday and then we will improve the quality of our prayer meetings so that they will continue to attend every Sunday.

What can you say about the current state of our parish and our community?

Last few years were not that good, I mean because we did not have a spiritual adviser and we were not recognized as an established youth organization by our own parish. But this year, I believe that it will not be the same, with Fr. Jun as the parish priest and Fr. Ciloi as the spiritual adviser for the youth, I think we will have a good relationship with our own parish and with other communities.

What traits do you have that makes you suitable to be a chairman?

Haha. This is a good question. I really really believe that I have this one trait that is different from the past chairmen that I think will best make me a good chairman, and that is my being BUDOY. Seriously, because I am close to everyone and I am fun to be with, I think that will make me suitable to be a chairman.

Being a chairman, what do you expect from the secretariat and the other members of the community?

You know what, my only dream for all the members is that they learn how to love the community as I have loved it and I expect that from the secretariat.

Would you rather eat or sleep forever?

I'd rather eat than sleep forever. There's no fun in sleeping, you don't feel anything, unless of course if you are dreaming, but that doesn't happen every time you sleep.

What kind of animal would you like to be and why?

I want to be a dolphin because I love the ocean. I want to explore the underwater communities.

If you had a Geinie, what would be your 3 wishes?

First, I want to be a saiyan like Goku. Hahaha. Second, I want to be rich like Richie Rich. Third, I want to have another genie that will give me another three wishes.
