Ultimately charming companies about town to provide Lex with its big time sponsors, her sweet and girl-next-door type of personality can practically woo anyone away. Not known to many, Wence is also a talent of many sorts—playing the violin, loving the arts and being active in sports. And she’s also one of the best woman drivers out there who can raise the female flag up against anti-feminist supporters.

Position: Vice President for Human Resources

Alias: The Gruff Man

Superpower: Can Change the World

 

Description: A visionary and dreamer from the pleasant suburban hills of Antipolo, Af always had this certain and striking way of thinking and viewing life. An ordinary dude who hangs out with the boys, plays football, listens to good music and drives people in his cozy Chevrolet, the only thing that seems extraordinary about him is his overgrown beard, which is a trademark he takes much pride in by the way. His humor and cheerfulness is magnetic, one that can instantly break barriers in a seemingly awkward room. You can say that he is the best man of many, especially the girls, because he’s the type of guy who can listen well and give good advices. Despite his being too talkative at times, Af has proven himself worthy of a good company indeed. Definitely, the closest thing to a real cutie-patootie gruff!

Position: Vice President for Finance

Alias: The Cowboy Chick

Superpower: Can make you rich

 

Description: Those curls and pumps are deadly misleading, Yeng is that girly chick who can probably ride a rodeo better than the boys. Okay, that’s a bit exaggerated, but she’s definitely a unique personality who is true to herself and what she takes interest in. Also a gardener of A’s in her academic patch, Yeng is one of those people you enjoy teasing and hanging around with. It’s either because of her palpable warmth to people or on-the-go character that attracts you to her, I’m not really sure. But whether its watching a basketball game, watching a movie or discussing which color of nail polish is best, Yeng is a seeming breath of fresh air to have around. Oh, and the Bronx part? Let’s just say her she’s a real cowboy when it comes to a lot of things, always ready to try out a new adventure and experience! Her favorite sport? Cockfighting! Now that’s definitely rocking!

 

How to be friends: Sa pula or sa puti? It’s easy to make friends with a cowboy chick. From boy talk to girly stuff, she’ll surely pull through. Expect to be seeing her in the major Lex bazaars around town!

Her being independent is striking, showcasing a person whom one can trust and ask advices from. Uknown to people, the softer side of her passions is the art of ballet, something that has always been a huge part of her in early years. Bianca moves like a swan, graceful and fragile but with the spirit of an eagle. Definitely, a boss in the making!

 

How to be friends: She loves debating, in fact, she used to be part of ADS. She is also hoping to pursue law which many of the members of Ateneo Lex might find interesting as a common ground. But above all, she’s your normal girl who loves to have fun, watch movies and just live freely!

He’s also talented, a member of Sibol in AHS, a renowned drama club where he spitted high musical tunes and acted entertainment for viewers.
