The Ateneo de Iloilo - SMCS will have a student council election for the school year 2021-2022. Candidates are allowed to use multimedia materials such as videos and animation, graphic posters, and music as campaign materials. As one of the candidates, Rihanna created her presentation using graphics and video clips available on the Internet. The presentation was originally created over three years ago. She properly cited the sources of the graphics and video clips in her presentation. To add more content for her campaign, she also included photos and videos of her friends and other people.

She has filmed her subjects at the mall, going to movies, and hanging out with her friends at home. Some parts of her video include corporate logos, movie posters, piped-in music in stores, television programs, and radio broadcasts. She presented her campaign video on the school grounds during the school rally and distributed flyers of the presentation to her schoolmates for their reference.
