Hindi mo pa rin gets. Hindi yun ang dahilan kung bakit itinayo ang UP. Gusto mo ng eskwelahan para sa mahihirap (que matalino o bob0)? eh ano ginagawa ng daan-daan na public schools at state colleges? Ungg0y! Magmamarunong pa. Ito na huling sagot ko sa 'yo.

attention: Admin/Moderator @Ariana& @BizMan, since this poster called me Unggoy will you please allow me to call him "BABOY". I don't think that's acceptable, we may go into debate or educated discussion but calling other with unwanted names and totally disregarded "RESPECT" which is one of the written rules in this thread. This is totally uneducated act and  unacceptable.

Ako ang di mo gets, ang unang Punto ko ay dapat bigyan ng PRIORITY ang mahihirap na matalino.

Pangalawa, magmamalinis, dahil madaming dumi sa loob mismo ng bakuran nya...

Comrade sinubukan na po yan nung kapanahunan ko FYI.

And tinawag ng UP ay democratization where preference was given to those who were economically disadvantaged by lowering  the passing grades sa UPCAT  .

Sadly po it FAILED as many were unable to handle the academic rigour. Binigyan po ng opportunity para makapasok pero di rin kinaya at marami ang bumagsak.
Dahil po dito ay di na tinuloy ng UP ang programa.

Ung second point mo po na NAGMAMALINIS at DUMI ? ano po bang dumi ang iyong pinupunto ? Nag aral ka ba sa UP ? Nagtratrabaho sa UP ?

What made you say that ? O naniniwala ka lang sa red tagging ? Magsaliksik comrade. Binigyan tayo ng isip gamitin naman natin bago gumawa ng posts na katulad ng post mo.

Share ko lang po :

Nakapasok po ako sa UP at hindi po mayaman ang magulang ko.

Pumasa po ako sa UPCAT  (but not under the democratization program)

Dahil po sa Martial Law ay ipinasara ni Marcos Sr ang karamihan sa media companies at nawalan po ng hanapbuhay ang tatay ko.

Sinubmit ko po ang income tax return ng tatay ko na 15,000 lang ang kinita sa isang taon. Dahil po dito  na exempt po ako sa pagbabayad ng tuition fees at tanging  misc fee na  P 110.00 ang binabayaran  every semester .

Dalawang taon po rin akong nakinabang hanggang nagkaroong muli ng trabaho si Tatay. Nagbayad na pong muli ng tuition pero hindi kasingtaas ng mayayaman kong kaklase. If I reemember right mga P 1500 lang ang bayd ko vs, 6 to 8 thousand na bayad nila.

Fyi po galing sa UP website . For those interested pwede pong mag-inquire particularly about the Socialized Tuition System ng Pamantasan .

Scholarships and Grants

UP students play a significant role in fulfilling the University’s mandate as agents of national development. As an Iskolar ng Bayan, all UP students are entitled to support through subsidies provided by the National government. This is granted through discounts on tuition and other school fees. Below are the financial assistance programs of the University:

ST System

The Socialized Tuition (ST) System provides tuition discount at rates that are based on the assessment of the paying capacity of the household to which a student belongs. This assessment looks at the income as well as the socio-economic characteristics of the household.

Scholarships

The UP Scholarship Programs are envisioned to honor and encourage outstanding academic achievement or talent, help academically qualified but financially needy students, and encourage enrollment in particular academic programs which are needed by our country

List of available scholarships: http://osss.up.edu.ph/content/scholarships/list/

STATE SCHOLAR po ako at UPCAT passer pero di ako pumasok sa UP dahil mas makakatipid ako sa MSU Iligan. Kapatid at mga pamangkin ko mga students ng UP at ang 1 ay Professor sa UPV lahat po sila UPCAT passer. Ako po ay NCEE Topnotcher, Top 6 sa Match Olympiad at No. 9 sa National Science Quiz. Kilala ako ni David Celdran na President ng UP STUDENTS ng panahon namin at ni Cong. MIRO QUIMBO na na mga kawpa kong member ng NUSP. At ako ang nag pursige na tumakbo si Erin Tanada na maging President ng NUSP kaya galit sa akin si David dahil natalo siya.

Hindi man ako naging student ng UP may alam din ako. Basahin ko rin ang pinanggalingan ng post ng nag comment ka para makita mo bakit ko sinabi ang mga yan....

Salamat sa input mo at nabasa ko na rin yan sa website nila, dahil kailangan namin yan bago kami nag file ng case sa UP against sa isang Prof. At nakiusap sa amin ang Dean at Department Head ng Mathematics na wag namin ituloy ang case para di masira ang College. Nagkaroon kami ng settlement noong 2004 at sa ngayon ay graduate na kapatid ko, natapos na rin ang PhD nya sa Math. Sa kasalukuyan nagsisimula pa lang Pamangkin ko sa kanyang Thesis ara PhD (Math), ang isa Proper na sa Vet Med at may isang nagsisimula ng ng sisimula ng sa kanyan research para sa kanyang masteral. Marami na kaming alam na problem ng UP. 

Ang kaibigan kong si Chanda Shahani na anak ni Senator Shahani nag file din ng complain sa isang college sa UP Diliman. Kaya ko nasabi mga yan dahil may ALAM din ako na di maganda.

Namasyal ako sa UP, bakit naparaming students na may magagandang sasakyan, dapat siguro ang mga eskolar ng Bayan ay mga mahihirap na matatalino, hindi yung mga mayayaman.

Maraming kaklase from Don Bosco ang pamangkin ko na pumapasok now sa UP na hindi naman daw matatalino noong  High School sila may mga kakilala lang daw silang mga sikat na Alumni at ngayon ay mga Politico. 

Sa kapanahunan namin may High School classmate akong nakapasok ng di ko alam papano dahil nag removal pa yun sa Math para makasabay lang sa graduation namin. Hahaha

Sa time ng sister ko naman may kinasuhan kaming Professor sa Math Department dahil nagbigay ito ng Take Home Exam pagkatapos binagsak nya lahat ng students dahil nag "kopyahan daw" Pag file namin ng kaso biglang umaksyon ang College at pinasa lahat ng students at nakiusap bawiin lang namin ang case baka daw lumaki at gayahin ng ibang students, Ibig sabihin lang nito madami silang pinagtatakpan na milagro.

May isa pa silang case na pinawithdraw kasabay namin: Yung case ng anak ng isang Senador.  

 

Comrade , the University of the Philippines is a state university and therefore is open to all those deserving and qualified regardless of socio-economic status. Sad to say the economically disadvantaged students wanting to enter UP may also be hampered by poor schooling , poor parental support , lack of proper diet and a host of other ills. This maybe the BIGGER PROBLEM which sad to say cannot be addressed by the University  in setting up the passing standards. As I wrote in an earlier post UP tried to address this and the experiment failed.

Re the cases that you mentioned no system is perfect. I hope you agree that cases like the ones you mention  not only in UP  but in other educational institutions as well.

RE your nephew from Don Bosco  and the scion of a Senator there will always be rumors like these but they are best rumors unless proven true.  Posts like this throw undue shade on the institution . This is a public forum and it may do well to post responsibly.

Happens comrade. Kung ganyan ang pagiisip na i-aapply natin sa lahat ng bagay ay daan libong OFW Pinoys siguro ang mawawalan ng trabaho. It all about job qualification , competence and experience. Siguro kailangan munang patunayan muna na may Pilipino na may equal qualification , competence and experience who was denied the job  for your point to make sense.

I stand pale before all the experience and friends and acquaintances you mentioned.  I will not even dare mention mine because after all that is not the point here is it ?

Re UP issues again the University is not perfect and SOME of its faculty and administration not totally guiltless. Again as I have said it happens.

The greater thing to consider perhaps is that the University on the overall maintains its integrity  and academic standards.

sana all free or mas mababa man lng ang tuition fees :)

Di hamak naman talagang mas mababa comrade. The bigger question here though may not only be the lower tuition fees but the standard of education .

And there is good news .

This from the  Commission on Higher Education  in a report issued 29 April 2022 .

"The most notable improvement in this international ranking is the entry of eight State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) – Mariano Marcos State University in Ilocos Norte, Central Luzon State University in Nueva Ecija, Tarlac Agricultural University in Tarlac, Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology in Iligan, Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology in Nueva Ecija, Visayas State University in Leyte, Cebu Technological University in Cebu and Tarlac State University in Tarlac."

Feel free to cite comrade. Time permitting of course. Pero I see your point that being foreign doesn't always equate to being better. Goldwyn Monteverde's UP team beat the Tab Baldwin led Ateneo.

As in sports though it is a team effort . Goldwyn Monteverde may have had a better team in that best of three series.

Funny thing, I know Miro Quimbo, his brother Rudy, and Mike Defensor. Chandra (with an 'r') Shahani was my classmate in one subject. I even used to hang out with Kiko Pangilinan in one tambayan (kung saan madaming maganda) but he won't remember me anymore, I guess. Thing is I see no relevance.

Hmmmm that is why am pretty much careful in citing credentials and friends etc comrade.  And i agree that what we post must be relevant to what is being discussed . All the experiences and friends cited must have a bearing on the post otherwise its fluff and may just cloud and obscure the issue altogether.

There will always be the lesser and greater of among us. And since we hide behind MTC handles there is pretty much no way to vet personal claims. So i usually rely on the quality of posts ( as we all do ) to paint the picture of the poster.

My point to the poster is that in my 12 years in the UP system ( two in elementary / four in high school / six in college ) I had personal knowledge of just one case of faculty trangression.  Add that to the fact that to this day many of my friends still remain within the system and we freely share amongst us their past as well as present experiences in the University. Still I agree that transgressions may have occurred. However proving it in a forum by citing proof and evidence is the crux of the matter.

Miro the lawyer who handled the "359 or 379" case of the controversial Pepsi promo and son of Romulo (to whom the house of Miro at Tierra Pura Subd was named to hide it from the public), his mother-in-law is the former secretary of DOST, Secretary Alabastro. Yes Mike and Miro are good friends and fact is Mike was the one who recommended Miro as CEO of Pag-IBIG during the time of GMA. Miro is also close to Manny Maliksi.  Not Chandra but Chanda Narciso Ramos Shahani (this is how he introduced himself to me when I together with my friends helped managed the campaign of her mom in Cotabato & Maguindanao Province).  

Si Kiko? Hmmm matanong ko nga si Mrs ko anong masasabing nyang "Maganda" kay Kiko. Bwahahaha

Ako na magsasabi sayo. Before he was into campus politics, masayahing tao. Nothing special. Pakanta-kanta lang to woo the girls. He had a good singing voice, maybe one reason he managed to woo Sharon. But after a while, he became more aware and joined campus politics, became chairman of the student council. He was admitted into law school and did his time. Nothing really more to say about him.

Oh, and Miro's WIFE is Dr Stella Alabastro, who also became congresswoman. Among the summa cum laudes from UP, she's my favorite. :)

Kun matalino, dapat meron alternate system that will sustain both livelihood and intellectual pursuit.  In Germany, because they suffered from warfare, many are poor and displaced. The solution is to create a parallel system where people can shift between classroom or scholastic, and technical or factory/industry systems.  If you are poor, the best way is to work in the technical system but allow public acknowledgement that will upgrade level of credentials even at work.  Should a person attain financial independence or funding comfort, then he can shift to a scholastic system and attend classes formally.

Technical schools as an option to formal "liberal arts" education will work only if you have a local or regional economy that will accommodate you. As a kid in the '70s, the Philippines was a modestly industrialized country. We used to go on field trips to factories within the metro and OH, you had shoe factories, candy factories, factories for soap, textile and garment factories, various kinds of metal works, even electronics  factories. Well, all of those have moved out of the metro or simply died out. Broadly, a fresh graduate's option now is either the local service-utilities field or seek employment abroad. For either option, a bachelor's degree is the best bet.

Comrade from purely local the job marketplace is now global. Best to target emerging fields ( like fintech ) and choose the corresponding college courses that may at best give you an adequate grounding in your potential career. There are also internationally accepted certificates that you may want to aim  for and acquire to augment your cv.

For those about to graduate dont go for any job ( like call centre) simply because its there.

Madaming libreng SUCs besides UP. Youll be surprised na sobrang dami nang conyo at mayaman sa UP which makes free tuition for all sounds unfair. Would have preferred bracketing. Unlike what social media portrays, Sobrang liit lang ng porsyento nila ang aktibista. 

Sa UP hindi naman free ang tuition substantially lower lang than Ateneo or La Salle And there is indeed socialized bracketing. Re activism it is good for students to be critical thinkers . Of all the things I learned is to always ASK and FIND OUT WHY. Wag tanggapin ang status quo and push for a change for the better. And that is encouraged  by most of the faculty. If that means to rail and demonstrate and fight for what you think is right so much the better.
