Overview

The Sanggunian ng mga Paaralang Loyola ng Ateneo de Manila, commonly known as the Sanggunian (or Sanggu for short), is the sole autonomous student government of the Ateneo de Manila University Loyola Schools. It operates under the four pillars of student representation, basic services, students’ rights, and student mobilization. The Sanggunian is committed to: • Protecting the rights and advancing the general welfare of the student body • Empowering the Atenean in becoming a critically aware and proactive individual who can respond to issues affecting society and the environment • Developing the means for effective student participation in all aspects of University life • Cultivating a sense of University spirit through its structures, projects and other initiatives. In essence, Sanggu is the VOICE of the study body, in whatever context that voice is needed or called upon: • In school legislation (through representation in policy-making) • In judicial decision-making (through membership in committees) • In the building blocks student life (through corner-stone departments like the Department of Student Welfare Services) • In emergent challenges(through dispute assistance and liaising with administrative bodies) • As responsible members of the Loyola Heights community (through involvement in Loyola Heights issues and concerns) • As committed Filipino citizens engaged in nation-building (through initiatives spanning national issues in light of Ateneo’s Transformative Leadership in the youth sector)
