PRESIDENT’S REPORT

November 1, 2010- December 31, 2010

Dear Fellow Students:

PEACE IN CHRIST!

November and December were fast months. The new semester started at the second week of November and all energies were
geared towards the Xavier Days Celebration. Nonetheless, the government managed to engage in a number of issues in and
outside the school. We also rolled out our engagement with the Office of Scholarship and Aid and our community development
program with Habitat for Humanity. As the year ends and a new one begins, we hope that the momentum towards good
governance will continue to grow and bear good fruits.

In Service I remain,
