Firstly, I'm going to be completely reckless with this which is why I flaired it as vent. Skip nalang if you can't take it. I saw this on Tiktok. I don't blame this person for how they feel. Hindi ko alam kung magastos lang ba talaga yung mga ganitong type ng mga estudyante or may mga part-time job para punan yung ganong luxuries, but I don't understand how can some of those people be scholars. Sasabihin nanaman ng iba, "Porket may pang ganto?" ā an underprivileged student doesn't have the money to do that regularly. Let's say magaling sila kaya nakapasa, but is that the goal of UP? To cater to well-off students basta magaling lang?
When people say that those who can afford private education shouldn't be in UP, they're also talking about the limited slots SOME of those rich people are leeching off. Imagine, yung mga pa-woke na estudyanteng ito, sinasabihan siyang out of touch as if they're the ones who are experiencing the fishermen's suffering when even things like rallies have become a luxury to the underprivileged people who can't afford to waste their time. Sure, walang masama sa pag-protest, but shaming a fisherman's child for not going to the rally while rallying about the rights of fishermen is ironic.
Don't even get me started sa mga magulang sa comments na dinedefend mga anak nilang taga-UP and other people who are acting like yung mga mayayaman pa yung na-ostracized. "Hindi kami mayaman". Ahh, yes, a public school is for those with 100k+ phones, car that costs million, 'di naapektuhan sa kahit anong pagtaas ng gas, debit and credit cards, restaurants every day, and club on weekends. Sige, i-compute ng iba kung hindi pa sobrang pera 'yan para di pa ma-afford mag-private school?
