[...] in Diliman is a low 2,600+ out of more than four thousand qualifiers, which further reinforces the effect that has manifested after the tuition increase was implemented. As the second year of its implementation reinforce this trend, hopefully it builds a stronger case [...]

kala mo lang yun!!

Kung alam mo lang ang nagyayari sa EARIST at saan napupunta ang pera mo baka magpakatiwakal ka!!

Nakakabulag ang panlabas na nayo ng eskwelahan
pero sa reyalidad sira-sira ang klasrum.
Kung matino ang Presidente sana hindi mo inuunang
bumili ng washing machine, 2 magic sing at kung ano-ano pa
na hindi naman pinakikinabangan ng estudyante

If you have the brains, you’d be smart enough to look for private or public scholarships in order to get to UP.

Eulogio Amang Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology (EARIST), nagtaas ng tuittion fee last year, but i think the administration of EARIST tried to showed to us, kung san napupunta ung binayad ng mga 1st year student dahil cla lng nmn ang affected, malaki nrin ang pingbago ng EARIST after n mgtaas ito ng tuittion fee, kailangan lng tlga namin ng dagdag n suporta at budget mula sa government….,nasasayang kc ang mga matatalinong student n ngaaral sa EARIST kung di pagtutuunan ng attention…

bikoy, in fairness, alam mo rin pala ang sitwasyon namin but we do are best to roll back our tuition fee. Because I have evidence that may prove of a illegal increase of tuition fee. Yung may pakana ay yung nagmamalinis ng matandang matapobre ng ched na walang iba kundi si Nona Ricafort. Kung mababa lang sa kanya ang 30 pesos pwes 40 milyong pilipino ang nabubuhay sa 30pesos. Basta marami aong papasabugin sa kanya. nagmamalinis sya sobrang dumi naman ng ugali nya!!!

What will justifying the commercialization of education do for any of us? Go on, cite valid reasons, call on “facts” (hello, comparative statistics yourself: it is easy to lie with statistics, yes. And this goes BOTH WAYS - if you have not read the De Dios report in full, Celeni, may I suggest that you do?), be as reflective as you can. What will justifying the commercialization of education do for you? Education. Commercialized. Profited from. Why is it so hard to spend as much, if not more, time arguing for the other case? Education. Accessible. Free. What will justifying the commercialization of education do for those who cannot go to school because of it?

Students who passed the standards to the tougher courses and subjects did sign up for their courses. The colleges of engineering and science didn’t suffer such dramatic drops in enrolment in the face of the increases in tuition. Simply put, if the investment is commensurate to the tuition, people will still opt to take it. UP is known to be good in engineering and the sciences, ergo, the increase in fees didn’t faze those who wanted to get degrees for thos programs.

As for the examples - BA Malikhaing Pagsulat, BA Araling Pilipino, and BA Filipino — I refuse to make any conjectures. haha.

So, it is not the fee increase alone. It is the incompetence of the centralized UP bureaucracy. They should have settled on the scholarships months before the start of school. No one should have to wait for some underworked bureaucrat to find out if they can afford university.

And what about all the other staff. Does all the UP units need all that staff that they have? Of course not. NO UP bureaucrat, be they chancellor or vice chancellor or some other servant, needs a personal driver.
