We have heard debates about social issues such as the use of marijuana, teenage pregnancy, women's empowerment and many others. But a Social Security debate took it to the corporate level. Here's what they argued about: "Be it resolved that the Customer Service offered by the Social Security Board is one of the best in Belize."
Now, if you've ever waited weeks for a benefit to be processed - that's a debate you might want to get into! But today it was reserved for tertiary level students at the Biltmore.
Communication Officer Gayle Ozaeta says it's all in the spirit of corporate responsibility.

"What happens with this, we decided that we were going to a sector of society who we need to hear from. We hardly hear from them. It's mostly at the top; older people, middle-aged and so we thought that this sector of society who will one day emerged as our leaders, would be the best sector for us to hear from. We've got two teams, so the preliminary team, which is the customer is always right - that is the team that is basically going to be used in the elimination category. The only two schools can actually emerged as winners and for that to be able to move on to the main debate. So in the main debate then we'll have the two competing schools who came as a result or those two were selected a result of the first debate which is the customer is always right."
St. John's College came in first and got the Gold Cup which UB came in second.
