ESTABLISHING THE OFFICIAL TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, AND YOUTUBE ACCOUNTS OF THE PARLIAMENTARY LEAGUE OF STUDENTS IN POLITICS

WHEREAS, item letter b and c, Section 3, Article II, Chapter I of the 2021 Constitution of the Parliamentary League of Students in Politics provides that the P-POL as an academic organization exists to “promote student engagement and empowerment through dialogue, civic involvement, cooperation, collaboration, and social volunteerism within and outside the school community, and establish a sense of community where members commune with one another and are united in realizing their individual and shared interests;”

WHEREAS, the establishment of academic social media accounts shall help the Members to be more active and participative in all endeavors of the Parliament virtually. The P-POL, other than Facebook, shall have Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube accounts to increase its audience and encourage every member in sharing information apropos the organization and the HCDC institution. The creation of the social media accounts of the P-POL is to expand the P-POL’s population and not for popularity;

WHEREAS, the P-POL shall encourage more political thoughts and opinions from students to be posted on P-POL’s social media platforms as part of the Parliament’s commitment to protect and uphold the highest moral standards to safeguard its role as agents of social change. In addition to political thoughts and opinions, the P-POL social media accounts shall perform any means necessary, such as posting infographics, facts, statements of significant dates and figures in history and among others;

WHEREAS, the Official Facebook Page of the P-POL was the first social media account of the organization. The latter would keep members up to date on all of the Parliament's events, obligations, and activities. Court jurisprudence, infographics, quotes, statements of significant dates and figures in history, and among other posts relating to the P-POL and the institution's academic and extracurricular activities will be the content therein;

WHEREAS, The Official Twitter Account of the P-POL shall have similar content with the P-POL's Facebook Page. It shall focus on academic-related posts, extracurricular, and among others;

WHEREAS, the Official Instagram Account of the P-POL shall contain academic and extracurricular post with similar content in Facebook Page and Official Twitter Account subject to the limitations; with the addition of birthday greetings for the Members of Parliament, certificates, recognitions, quotes, and among others;

WHEREAS, the Official YouTube Account of the P-POL shall contain video discussions on Parliamentary Rules and Procedures Workshops, Political Science promotional campaigns, clips of the Debate Competitions, and among other video documentations regarding the activities of the organization.
