Almost two thousand high school students elected the new sets of Supreme Student Government (SSG) officers for the S.Y. 2021-2022 on October 1, 2021. Firmly based on a particular set of guidelines coming from the Department of Education, the SSG election was held with the use of web-based SSG Voting System facilitated by the SSG advisers and supervised by the ICT team of SJCBI.

Grade 12 STEM student Richard Ronnel Cipriano and Grade 10 Saint Stephen the Martyr student Khastine Rudolph A. Miranda claimed this school year’s presidency in the SSG-SHS and SSG-JHS Election respectively.

“We are representatives of a micro cause of an ideal society. A society that accepts acceptance and love for all. This year, we aim of lifting our Josephian identity, the concretizing of an inclusive society, the standardization of a system that properly addresses genuine concerns, the steering of students’ empowerment and instilling the core values of our school inside every Josephian,” Cipriano said, the standard bearer of BRAVERY (Bonafide Responsible Advocates Versatile Efficient Religious Youth) Party.
