Juniors who were eligible to be elected must be professed for at least 2 years. While the delegates of the Company of St. Dominic were qualified to serve as electors in the Chapter, they were however ineligible to be voted upon considering that none of them has been professed for 2 years.

During the Chapter, Prof. Mervin introduced the Company of St. Dominic to the other members of the Dominican Family. He was postulated (nominated) for Public Information Officer but declined the postulation because he has not yet been initiated (professed) in the CSD.

The Company of St. Dominic was assigned to serve under the Committee on Social Concerns of the O.P. Juniors.

The new set of officers of the O.P. Juniors will hold office for one year.
