Introduced in the 2016 Constitution, the Sanggunian allows legislative representatives of sectors. Under Article XIV, Section 1 of the 2017 Electoral Code, a sector is defined as “an organized group of undergraduate students of the Loyola Schools who share a specific primary characteristic and who aim to represent their underrepresented interests by advocating for their common ideologies, principles and causes.” The sectors this year include LIONS, Scholars, and Sports Clubs.

Representation. The LIONS Coordinator serves as the Sectoral Representative in the Central Assembly, the highest legislative body of the Sanggunian. Their responsibility is to bring up the concerns of the unaccredited organizations to the LS administration, considering their possible disadvantages in trying to implement their projects and forward their advocacies. Financial Assistance. As of the 1st Semester (2019-2020) Budget, the sectors have been provided the “New Sectors Allocation Fund” under the Office of the President. Divided equally among sectors, each LIONS organization is now allowed to have important expenses reimbursed. Logistical Assistance. LIONS organizations are now allowed to reserve venues in the LS before the 15-day provision with the approval of the Sanggunian President. (Although, this is only granted under certain conditions which have yet to be clarified as of writing.)

The constituent organizations take an active part in building and fortifying the representation of LIONS as a sector through their highest executive officers that represent the organization in the LIONS Council and their liaison officers for that represent the organization when it comes to the legislative affairs of LIONS as a sector with direct involvement in the writing process of LIONS bills and statements. This structure ensures better representation among the organizations for LIONS affairs through information dissemination and involvement in decision making and allows delegation in the crafting of the legislative agenda.
