Re: Freshmen, Shiftees and Transferees Representative
Gonzagas Impeachment

Good day!
During the AIT Student Council general assembly last
November 19, Vice-chair Munoz, in the presence of FST
Representative Juan Luis Alfonso Gonzaga, formally raised a
complaint regarding FST Representative Gonzaga's performance.
Vice-chair Munoz's statement was backed up with Batch
Representative Osorio's statement reporting that FST Representative
Gonzaga is not duly performing his duties as stated at the AIT
Constitution Section 4:
"The Year Level Representatives shall be the respective head of a
year level and shall:
4.1 Head all internal activities of his/her respective year level;
4.2 Make sure that their Batch mates are well informed and up to date
with the issues and concerns of the university..
4.2 Be accountable to the General Assembly in all questions that may
arise regarding his/her respective year level;
4.3 Be responsible in creating and disseminating oral and written
proposals and propaganda concerning activities of his/her respective
year level."
Consequently, Secretariat Councilor Ivy Balagot informed the body
regarding FST Representative Gonzaga's attendance on council
meetings and activities, and respectfully reported that he exceeded
the allowable excused and/or unexcused absences as per the AIT SC
2014-2015 House Rules VII Section 8:
"Meanwhile, consecutive and/or cumulative excused absences may
be deemed as grounds for recommendation of leave of absence or
resignation depending on the gravity of the situation of the concerned
council member. For absences accumulated from four unexcused
tardiness, these shall be regarded as unexcused cumulative absence.
The Council Secretary shall also inform the Chairperson of such
actions. The concerned member ceases to be a member and shall be
informed by the Council Secretary of the fact. The attendance for GAs
and council activities will be recorded separately."
In accordance with the constitution and house rules, Councilor
Balagot, with my consent, sent a warning letter to FST Representative

Gonzaga's attendance through his electronic mail. No reply was

reported.
To evaluate his performance, his case was considered as part of the AITSC December 3
General Assembly's agenda that was sent to all members of the council last December 1.
Unfortunately, without stating any excuse, FST Rep. Gonzaga was not able to attend the
said assembly.
Batch Rep. Osorio formally moved a motion to impeach FST Rep. Gonzaga, seconded by
Vice-Chairperson Munoz with the following points:
1. Excessive and consistent absences in SC General Assemblies and activities.
2. Failure to perform tasks as the first year batch representative.
The motion to impeach was followed by an objective deliberation and was approved by
CONSENSUS.
This memo is to inform all concerned parties and the AIT Community that Mr. Juan Gonzaga
is no longer part of AIT Student Council 2014-2015. Consequently, he is also relieved of his
duties in the University Freshmen Council.

Respectfully yours,

Ghie-ghie Calderon
AIT Student Council 2014-2015
Chairperson
