The heart of the legal profession lies not in the mechanical application of law but the embodiment of advocacy. We are trained in the legal profession not to become technicians skilled in stretching the interpretation of the law, but to become advocates who push for substantive justice. As prospective advocates of the law, we see beyond personal ties and side with good causes.
It is for this reason that we come together to endorse HEART DIÑO as our USC CHAIRPERSON.
We believe that HEART embodies the spirit of advocacy: taking on a cause bigger than her own, and defending it with reason, dignity and passion. As a tireless crusader for gender issues in the University and national stage, she has shown us the possibilities of a more accepting society. In a country where being who you are can still be frowned upon, HEART shows us the face of acceptance.
We believe that UP student institutions sets the pace for our country to follow. If we show everyone that we can elect a leader regardless of her gender – considering only competence and character – then we are sending a signal to our country too strong to ignore. Let us lead the way in advocating for a fairer society by voting for a real advocate of equality and acceptance. Let us make history by electing HEART DIÑO as our USC CHAIRPERSON.
