you could advocate for palestine without calling for a genocide of jews. this is part of a long graffiti mural on the east edge of the university of the philippines campus, along luzon avenue. i dont imagine this was endorsed or vetted, but still.

I Lament Not Taking The UPCAT

But frankly, I don't know if it will help feeling unworthy of being here, anyway.

I lament not taking the UPCAT, despite my protest against its existence. While I firmly believe that quality education from the State, perhaps showered by name recognition, and in turn, academic regalia, nothing makes me feel like a hack more than believing that I do not belong in such an institution because I did not take a test--one that gatekeeps entry to what is, in Professor Emeritus Solita Collas-Monsod's words, the cremè de la cremè.

Education is a right, not a privilege, as we say, yelling in mobilization movements "edukasyon, edukasyon, karapatan ng mamamayan!" and gatekeeping is an antithesis to what we are standing for, yet, the validation that an exam offers is so fulfilling, and its absence makes me question every failure that I commit if I truly belong to this place.

I lament not taking the UPCAT, even if its absence is a product of a global health emergency, and logistics of conducting an exam of national scale is a risk that outweighs the desire to gatekeep admission to such institution. Hence, the spawn of a flurry of insults from those who have taken it towards our batch. Place your bets on how it makes us feel. Place your bets on how it makes me feel. Does it even help my case?

While the grade-based academic admission system had its advantages, mainly not having to dig yourself down sleepless nights to gamble for a chance of entry into the land of even more sleepless nights, the merit of "working hard" to earn your place reinforces something up your head: that even if you fail majestically in your courses, you at least hold on to an exam that immediately turns into vanity the moment your first academic term starts.

I lament not taking the UPCAT, but frankly, I don't know if it will help feeling unworthy of being here, anyway. Behind the flashing lights, the euphoria, and the glorifying feeling of receiving your notice of acceptance, is the crippling cycle of asking yourself if you are a hack. No matter how brilliant you are (or were), you will be on your toes if you want to stay on top of your game. And with an academic culture so vicious, doubt will be your inevitable, but necessary friend.

My hope for the new children that will enter the University is that somehow, the validating euphoria that is the UPCAT slowly chip away the doubt that their first long exam result may bring, or their first 3.00 may instill, for, at least, an exam has told you that you have earned your rightful place. May the rigor that the exam taught you not end in your first year, but bud into actions that are sparkling exemplars of Honor and Excellence. But, as for me, I will lament not taking the UPCAT, asking myself over and over if I should be here, when more brilliant people could have had my seat. If my admission is a grace afforded by challenging times. If I shall carry the guilt of being a hack.

Sometimes, I am afraid of dreaming.

The higher I dream, the higher I fall.

University of the Philippines, let me in. 🕯️

through the lobed leaves of the tipolo tree

that with wind wave a gentle goodbye

or frail flowers of amaranthine amaranths

that symbolize something pure and perennial,

i say goodbye for now to these people with whom i have planted a beautiful and nurturing friendship! thank you times the florets of hagonoy.

thank you for these beautiful pictures, aivee!

Thoughts on Big 4 after UP ranked down

October 16, 2022

Sometime around 01:40 AM

Understandably, I get the jokes on TikTok. I really do. But, this was in my head before dozing off. I just needed to jot it somewhere before I forgot.

“Big 4” was never about university rankings. “Big 4” was always about prestige and tradition. It doesn’t matter if your university ranked higher; culture alone shall be the dictator. “Big 4” was always meant to be exclusive, continuously discriminating those who can’t have or afford it.

#i’m not a up student btw #but if we’re being honest #up ateneo dlsu ust will always culturally be big 4 #there is a premium #university of the philippines #ateneo de manila university #de la salle university #university of sto tomas #big 4 #big 4 universities #critical thought piece #thoughts dump #philippines #ph

The Fight Against Fake News and Disinformation

Entry #16: 110722

As I was eating my breakfast this morning, my lola (grandmother) suddenly told me that the University of the Philippines - Diliman will now be closed. For those who don't know, the University of the Philippines is considered to be the 'best' university in my country. Now, going back to what I was saying, my lola was laughing nonstop as if she was really delighted that the said university will now be closed. I kept my mouth shut as I know that it's nonsense to argue with close minded people especially the elders. My family and I have different political views. My tita (aunt) then came to the dining room and of course, my lola told her about the news that she just saw on FB (Facebook). Although my tita and I have different political views as well, at least she knows how to fact check and differentiate a fake news from what is true. She then bravely told my lola, "I-check niyo muna kung legit ba 'yang nakikita niyong balita" (Check it first if it's from a verified source) and "Hindi naman lahat ng nakikita niyo sa FB ay totoo" (Not everything that you see in Facebook is true). I secretly smiled. Despite the fact that the University of the Philippines is considered to be the 'best' school in my country, those who support the current President considers it as a breeding ground for the NPAs (New People's Army, a communist group). That's why my lola was delighted because she is one of the people who thinks that UP (University of the Philippines) is not a 'worthy-of-the people's-taxes' university since it's a State University which means that everyone who's studying there is a scholar. Now, I also just remembered that the Philippines' ranking when it comes to reading comprehension is at the bottom. This just means that the Filipino citizens are more prone to being victims of fake news and disinformation in every social media platform that there is. Yes, the University of the Philippines will now be closed but that information is incomplete. Only the Academic Oval and other public spaces of the said university will be closed due to rising Covid-19 cases and not because it is against the current administration. Students complain about the repetitive lessons in school about dissemination of fake news and such without realizing the importance behind it. Somehow, the topic is not supposed to be a 'fun' one since this is a serious matter to be tackled. But from what I can see, despite the repetitive lessons in school, teenagers still continue to be victims of fake news everywhere. Why? Because of social media which causes their brain to be overstimulated to the point that they cannot identify a false information anymore as it can easily be masked as the 'truth'. Let's also not forget that short videos in reels are far more entertaining than a boring plain text in modules. We get easily swayed by aesthetic designs, misleading titles, up-beat songs, and totally unrelated thumbnails. However, we shall always remember to fact check and not let ourselves be victims of fake news and disinformation. Technology is continuously evolving and we should not take this for granted. The truth will always set us free.
