“Come everybody, everybody with me.

Let’s have a good time together, everybody with me.”

During the first week of May 2008, everybody was hyper and active same as the song “Come Everybody” by Sam Concepcion, since all were busy preparing and campaigning for the SCC Globe’s highlight for summer, the elections of newly officers. Members tend to audition for their desired positions and categorized into three teams namely “Sam ASTIG”, “YES”, and “VAMOS”.

Sam ASTIG or the Super Attentive Members in an Amazing, Smart Talent and Intelligent Group was composed of their secretaries(jhoi and plankie), update moderators(jas and ecca), gm masters(cez, kylie and vincent), bloggers(gernie and chichi) and web moderators(shara and joyce and dianne).

While the second party, YES or Youth Empowered to Serve was spearheaded by their secretaries(cass and cheska), update moderators(jeanelle and liza), gm masters(angele, tricia and ira), bloggers(micay and mon), and web moderators(ajifrene and vince).

And last but not the least is VAMOS or widely known as Voices and Movers of Samsters built by their secretaries(joy and Katrina), update moderators(trish and jonah), gm master(anne, neanne and aija), bloggers(chez and pau) and web moderators(twinkle, wendy and abhie).

Before the election, each team were given time to meet up and discuss their platforms or things they could offer for the betterment of the clan. Different parties were also given a chance to do their campaign through text or internet. The said event held during the 3 days campaigns, May 5-7. They were supposed to introduce their abilities and probably themselves. Election Day came and all of the members voted for their ultimate bets. Surprisingly, for the winners, the results was much than expected. All winners deserve to beat the crown of their positions.

The standing of candidates was divided into three parts, [which] interview, votes and campaigns. Interview would be 50% of their scores that was headed by Noriel Santos. He used to know more a lot about the nominees by asking certain questions to their positions. Well-done, all of candidates do great jobs. Also the number of votes of 40% is dependent to the vote of SCC members. One hundred eleven SCC members were registered to vote over 211 members in the election. Lastly, the campaign of the parties which build their team works as possible consists of 10%. VAMOS party got 10% for their colourful campaigns. Bravo!
