UP Students: Fake Scholars
UP students are not supposed to be called “Iskolar ng Bayan” (Scholar of the Nation). They are “paying scholars”. If you are paying more or less PHP 21, 000, would you really feel that you are indeed a “Iskolar ng Bayan”? Upon enrollment, UP students get in line to pay for their tuition holding wads of cash roughly four times thicker than those from New Era University would pay for. I am sure that we don’t need figures, charts, and statistics to prove the veracity of my claim.
Had it been somebody from PUP, PLM, PNU, TUP, or any state university/college who boasted himself as “Iskolar ng Bayan”, I am inclined to agree. Otherwise, if it’s from UP who claims such, I will maintain the same incredulous revulsion.
Braggart, think twice! Admit it or not, you don’t deserve to be called “Iskolar ng Bayan”… in the true sense of the word.
@Jigs, Wala akong pakialam kung hindi ako pumasa ng UPCAT. After all, hindi naman kawalan ang UP. Mas marami pang ibang school na mas maganda dyan.
what is your religion po? Sorry if I’m asking ha. Mali kasing sabihin na may backward Catholic ideas sa UST. Do you believe in GOD? UST is just spreading the GOOD WORDS of God. Maganda po yun para sa kabataan, hindi katulad ng ibang university na puro pagyayabang lang ang alam, eh wala naman sa lugar. And for your info, mas maraming may gusto mag-aral sa UST kaysa sa UP. Kahit magpasurvey ka pa.
Jigs, isipin mo maigi yung mga salitang “iskolar ng bayan”. Sa tingin mo ba karapat-dapat ang UP dun? Just compare PUP to UP. Sa tuition palang, wala ng dapat iesplika.
Jigs, GOD BLESS YOU.
sobrang bitter lang yang mga taong naglalait sa UP. palibhasa mga bumagsak sa UPCAT
Ang 300% UP tuition increase ay pinag-aralan ng Economics Society ng UP para mapanatili ang mataas na kalidad na edukasyon na ibinabahagi ng unibersidad na umuukol sa kasalukuyang ekonomiya ng bansa. Sa kasalukuyang ekonomiya, ang 300 pesos per unit ay kulang na kulang para gamiting pambayad sa mga kailangang kagamitan, guro, empliyado, at maintenance personnel. Pano pa kung pasira ng yung mga dating makina na ginagamit ng unibersidad? Paano na yung mga estudyante? Dahil may mga makinang nagkakahalaga ng 50 milyon pesos na nabawasan na ang presyo dahil sa “academic discount”. Nagtaas ng tuition ang UP, dahil hindi na kayang pagkasyahin ang binibigay na “subsidy” ng gobyerno sa mga pangangailangan ng unibersidad, ng mga estudyante at empliyado nito.
Ang UP ay isa ng National University. Kasama sa pagbabago na ito ay ang pagbabahagi at pakikibahagi sa mga “research studies” para sa ikakauunlad ng bansa. Isa itong dahilan kaya dapat ay tumaas ang subsidiya ng gobyerno na natatanggap ng UP, ngunit kasamaang palad, hindi ito natutupad. Isang malaking dahilan din ito ng tuition fee increase.
This is totally rediculous and at the same time interesting. As I was reading the lines from Den Relojo, I got to think maybe we can be a little mature when trying to comprehend an idea in a very conceptual approach. I love the way Den Relojo makes his rebuttals, but, inasmuch as I try to weigh the concepts, maybe he can be better off researching what “Iskolar ng Bayan” really means. He got confused, or what not, because in the first place he seemed to attack or opened a conversation popping up with world of worms instead of presenting or giving more details to get to concept itself.
UP community loves conversation like this and I personally got interested too. As a UPian, what we usually teach is proper and a very bibliographic approach on whatever piece of literature we would want to have a discussion on so we will be properly guided.
Strive harder and learn more. there is so much in the basket to flaunt but ostent in a responsible and mature way of discussing a piece if not being too professional.
Always,
Sir Yu.
