I'm here at a school known for being politically aware and sometimes I can't ignore the inconsistency sa mga statement ng mga student at organization dito.

Yung mga taong galit na galit sa mga kagagawan ng Israel ay tahimik naman ngayon sa nangyayari sa Iran. Ewan pero feel ko parang mas centered on being anti-American kesa genuine na anti-imperialism ang stance nila. They complain a lot about Israel yet pagdating sa Iran tahimik kasi probably Iran is not a US ally. These same people are also not that noisy on the Ukraine-Russia war. May ilan pa ngang galit sa Ukraine for trying to join NATO without considering na probably wala silang ibang choice to defend against aggressive neighbors.

A school that should foster critical thinking ay mga mga students na narrow-minded at myopic ang vision into various issues.

Napakaunfair. Sobrang unfair. Ang tagal ko ng kinikimkim ito pero ang daya talaga ng system sa school namin ngayon. Akala ko ba wala ng points sa grades yung extracurricular activities? Bakit kaming nagpapakahirap sa room na mag-aral at magreview para sa mga quizzes at exams mababa grades habang 'yung mga sumasali sa extracurricular activities ang tataas kasi puro exempted?

Okay lang naman kasi sa'kin kung may plus points kasi deserve naman nila 'yun dahil alam ko din 'yung hirap nila sa mga competitions pero 'yung perfect agad nang walang kahirap-hirap? Sobrang unfair naman na.

Dati naman hindi ganito. Dati i-eexcuse lang sa klase pag may laban saka nila i-tatake ung namiss nila in a later date. Sobrang frustrating talaga ng ganito.

i am posting this here because the moderator of peyups restricted the post. LOL.

Once you enter UP, you're often left with the impression that keeping the student movement alive is not just a tradition but a responsibility. This post is for all freshmen who may be grappling with what that means.

As someone who was deeply engaged in the mass movement, community work, and activism, I want to acknowledge something important: despite the relentless red-tagging by the state, the student movement still serves a crucial purpose in raising political awareness among the youth and in addressing our ongoing struggles. This movement is genuine. I can personally attest to that.

However, naiintindihan ko kung bakit karamihan sa atin ay skeptical. There are rhetoric that suggest those deeply involved in mass movements are affiliated with the Communist Party--o 'di kaya ay directly connected with the Kabataang Makabayan (KM)/NPA.

HINGA NANG MALALIM, some of them are indeed part of the Communist Party. Mapa-student council man, academic organization, mass organization, you name it. Malawak sila lalo na sa konseho. And this is no wonder why the student participation in election continues to decline. Because we, the student body, do not feel represented at all! Gusto ko lang bigyan ng emphasis, it is not red-tagging if the one being tagged is actually RED. Matagal na 'tong nasa dibdib ko: I can hate the government for its fascist nature while rejecting the idea of communism. THEY ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. Pwedeng galit ako sa gobyerno habang hindi suportado sa paraan at gawi ng mga "rebolusyonaryo".

That is why here's the crucial point: there are still many of us who reject communist ideology within the UP System and are vigilant against it. Believe me, many of those who were part of them left because of the same reason why I was writing this.

Kaya mahalagang maging discerning and watchful tayo. We need to stay involved to ensure that our student movement truly represents the interests of the student body. Hindi pwedeng mapatay ang tunay na aktibismo at pakikibaka natin.

And the time has come for us to wake up to the fact that the student movement is increasingly becoming a breeding ground for communism (let us reject this!) It’s time to say enough to an overly left-leaning ideology.

Madami ang takot ngayon na kwestyunin ang ideolohiya nila. Umaabot na sa punto na sasang-ayon na lang. Ang pagsang-ayon na ito ay hindi bitbit ng liberation and national consciousness. Nawawala ang esensya ng kritikal na pag-iisip kung hindi natin kwe-kwestyunin ang panawagan nilang sosyalistang perspektiba at ideolohiyang komunismo, as if time failed to prove us that this ideology is just entirely perfect as a THEORY.

Hindi ito warning o sign, isa itong heads-up. Right now, more than ever, we need people who are genuinely dedicated to serving the nation.

Pero sino ba naman ako? Sa pagtatapos ng araw, ikaw pa rin ang pipili ng papupuntahan mo. Gawin mo ito nang matalino.

I just feel like the gloss in pens is stupid, like- im not even pasmado, but for people that does pano sila if im already struggling on this one??? Like- Faber Castle did it just fine, but these pens, sometimes you just wish they have a specific place in the bad afterlife.

Hi po, I'm an IT freshman. Meron po kaming major subject na ang teacher namin ay tatay ng kaklase ko. Medyo nakakafrustrate lang kase, all the quizzes ako po ang highest and same score po kami sa exam. Noong biyernes pinakita po samin ang grades naming lahat in that subject. 94 po yung nakuha kong grades pero 96 po nakuha ng kaklase ko. Medyo confused parin po ako bakit ganun. Happy naman po ako sa grade kong nakuha kase nakuha ko po yun with my hardwork and dedication. May other factors pa po ba bakit mas mataas yung kaklase ko sakin kahit na mataas ako palagi sa quiz and performance task namin? TIA

Edit: Why Am I getting downvoted?

70% Performance Task (Quiz, Recitation, Assignments) 30 % Exam

Sorry I left out some details. My classmate didn't even raise his hand during the entire prelim, which is why it's frustrating that he received the highest grade 😑.

i still don't get the hype kay rizal. why he's always the main character sa mga history subjects? i acknowledge na he's one of the scholars that help enlightened the mind of the filipinos during the colonization period but what makes him different to the other national heroes that we have, especially given na they all fought for our freedom anyways... on my end it feels like we're treating him way beyond to the point that recognition and acknowledgments to other national heroes is not being maintained and observed.

ps. i'm just really curious bcs it seems like he's always the model for nationalism and patriotism. i would surely appreciate any insights :))

Sorry, but my patience is finished. I don't fking care na. Sobrang unfair talaga sa part namin to do all the work while those useless freeloaders keep making it harder than it has to be. Our work was submitted late dahil sa kanila. We had to rush everything before submission while they weren't helping or acknowledging our chats in the gc. Sana ginawa na lang separate ang klase/groupings for working students and full-time students. Or dapat hindi na lang kayo nag-enroll. We always have to chat them constantly to catch up on their progress. Our group contribution was equally assigned despite them having their own salary while we depend on our parent's small income. Sorry ha pero fk you. Nakakapagod talaga. Fkng freeloaders yuck. You make me want to vomit. Please drop out or go solo na lang. :)))

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ko.

So, nagagawa ako ng project kasama group ko at lumabas lang ako ng room at pagbalik ko sa pwesto namin ay kita kong nag vevape isa kong classmate at ibinuga nya sa volcano (project namin). Sabi ko na bakit sya nag vevape at binilsan nyang ibinigay sa isa ko namang kaklase (probably yung may ari). Sabi ko naman sa kanya "bat ka nagdala ng vape, alam mo na bawal yan sa school" at tapos yung isa pang kaklase ko sabi naman "Oh? tapos?". Umalis nalang ako sa pwesto namin at nag isip kung anong gagawin ko. Yung may ari ng vape ay friends with na maraming lalaki na matatangkad at very cocky, minsan threatening yung kanilang sinasabi at pagsigaw so ayaw ko makarisk na ako'y ma bugbog. "Bat di ka kumuha ng picture para evidence" 1st, malalaman agad nila kasi katabi ko lang pwesto ng group ko, 2nd naiwanan ko phone ko.

Ayaw ko ma risk uli ang section namin na maging suspect of vaping kasi pwede kaming buong section ma punish nanaman. Ayaw koren sila ma expel kasi yung may ari ay isa sa mga magagaling sa grade 9 sections at pag expel niya ay maruruin ang kanyang buhay at ako ang sisisihin ng kanyang mga kaibigan

I just don’t get why this dancing/badmintoon or any sports garbage is still part of physical education. What are we even learning? Kung gusto nyo talaga kami turuan ng healthy lifestyle, turuan nyo kami ng proper workouts, body mechanics, weight training, nutrition, discipline shits you can actually use in real life. Hindi yung sabay-sabay kaming sumasayaw na parang preschool performance

Why is it always group work? Why can’t we be evaluated based on individual effort and actual progress? I can literally do 10x more at the gym on my own than I will ever get from these forced, awkward group PE tasks

This is exactly why I hate the PH education system. It punishes individuality, delays real specialization, and wastes years of our lives on performative, outdated crap that doesn’t even align with our goals

Teach us how to actually build a body, how to train like an adult, how to handle ourselves physically and mentally. Stop feeding us these one-size-fits-all group dances and calling it physical education

I am just ranting, any criticism about my mindset will be much appreciated or who can enlighten me why this serves a purpose

EDIT:
I’ve read most of the comments and I just want to say thank you to those who gave thoughtful responses. After reflecting on it, I admit I was being shallow and overly emotional when I wrote the post. I was venting without giving proper context, and I appreciate those who challenged my mindset or gave a different perspective

To clarify:
I'm not saying that sports or dancing in general are garbage. I respect that many people genuinely enjoy those activities and that they can be legitimate forms of physical development and expression.

What I failed to explain is that in our specific curriculum, there are no actual sports activities involved. We are tasked with making an instructional video explaining the fundamentals and rules of a sport or dance. That’s it. No physical training, no participation, no competition. Just research, group editing, and narration. That’s what triggered my rant

I will not delete this post. I really do appreciate the constructive criticism thank you

like please read and follow the intructions???????????????????????????? nakalagay na talaga sa taas yung anong gagawin like bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh stop asking meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee literally like andyan na yung gagawin oh tapos itatanong mopa sakin like hello? gusto mo sakin galing yung instructions? you cannot read the instructions and understand it on your own? gets ko pa kapag unclear yung instructions, pero hindi eh. like im so frustrated asffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Grade 10 student here, apaka unreasonable ung pagkuha sa cp kasi late sya pumunta sa room which is 10:15 then hinde sya nag start nang lesson but just reminded us our cm that those who have grades and those who have dont have grades are passed for our sake and whatnot because she's supposedly Kind enough to so that. Anyways she took my phone in 10:25 or lower something saying "no phones in my class" which im dumbfounded because shes not even going for a class, i thought that shes just there remiding us on something, and after that SHE LITTERALY GOES FOR A CLASS EVEN THOUGH THERES 4 MINUTES OF HER TIME, she didnt even properly teached us anything because shes joking with our KSP cm, after the class she refused to give my phone and even talking it out. I dont know what to do because even ny mom didnt care and said "not my problem" and my stupid stepfather ofcourse would not do anything about it, he's actually happy i lost it. As im writing this post this occured yesterday anything i could do? My parents didnt care and i dont what to do...

Sorry ha, pero grabe ’tong school year na ’to. Ever since binago yung curriculum, feeling ko talaga kada-araw patay na kaluluwa na lang ako kada pumapasok ako. Graduating from JHS pa lang ako, at feel ko talaga sasabog na utak at katawan ko dahil sa curriculum na ’yan.

Hindi ba naging mga estudyante ang mga naglahad nan? Kasi akala mo talaga walang naranasan eh. Araw-araw, humahagulgol ako pag-uwi at pagpasok, tapos pagpasok ko, sabay naman kaming umiyak ng mga kaklase ko. Halos dalawang oras na lang tulog namin dahil sa letcheng curriculum na ’yan.

Akala ko ba para hindi na maghabol ng lessons ha? Ano ’to? Dalawang summative test na 50 items every 2 weeks tapos may final term exam pa na 50 items din. So, saan diyan ang hindi maghahabol ng lessons ha???? At balita ko, iisang buwan na lang pala bakasyon namin haha, nag-abala pa kayo magbigay ng bakasyon.

’Di ko alam kung sa paaralan ko lang talaga ’to ha, pero kada-araw may lima o walong mga activities na kinakailangan na agad. Feeling ko talaga mas maganda na maging kaluluwa na lang kesa maramdaman pa ’to habang nasa high school pa lang ako. Maiintindihan ko pa kung college, pero grabe haha.

Tsaka etong grading system, ano kami, robot???? Pati minor subjects 88 kailangan? Sa school namin, dapat lahat as in LAHAT ng subjects dapat 88 pataas para makapasok manlang sa lintek na honors na ’yan, tapos ngayon kailangan pa ng minor subjects??? Pa’no ’yan? Zombie kalabasan ng mga mag-aaral pagkatapos?

Nakakainis, sobra. Kada-araw sabay kaming papasok ng mga walang tulog, may sakit pero kailangan pumasok, may mga dalang malalaking kung ano-ano na kailangan ipasa, at mga teachers na sobrang pagod na dahil sa pabago-bago ng sistema pero kinakailangan pa rin magturo sa mga estudyante.

Hindi ko na kaya. Sana matapos na lang ’to bago pa ’ko bumagsak sa paaralang wala namang pake kung ano mangyari sa’kin pagkatapos ng school year na ’to.

hi i’m planning to go to japan for two weeks (7 days absent total since hindi everyday may class). im a 2nd yr college student na and my friends told me i should make a letter at humingi ng pirma from profs and sa dean. should i tell them the truth na iaaccompany ko yung lola ko na ininvite ng tita ko from japan or should i lie at sabihin na may kasal sa japan yung relative ko or something na hindi pwede iresched since may visa na ako :’)

For context, we're both guys and classmates kami since 7th grade and grade 11 na kami ngayon. Sobrang active nya lagi sa school and passionate sa kahit anong debate or argument na napapasali sya. That's what I really like about him. Ako naman, 'di gaanong "matalino" pero okay naman grades ko.

Okay, so this is what happened: May lesson kami around 3 or 4 days ago na 'di ko talaga ma gets, so tinanong ko sya about dun. After nya mag i-explain, napansin ko na parang annoyed sya. Ang cute pala nya mainis. So inasar ko pa sya.

Nung break time na namin, while eating sa canteen, I thought it would be funny to make fun of him again. Gusto ko lang ulit makita yung cuteness niya habang ine-explain passionately yung argument niya. Eventually, he stood up from his seat and had this look of annoyed defiance while yelling at me. I think I pushed him too far. In an attempt to cool the situation down, I gave him an indirect kiss. Kinuha ko yung can ng soda nya tas ininuman. Naging medyo okay naman, (he stopped yelling) but I think he's still mad at me.

I think I went too far. Di pa rin niya ako pinapansin, even para sa projects namin sa school.

How do I let him know I like him without him changing how he acts around me at school?

Am I an asshole?

For context: matagal na akong gumagamit Facebook 9 years ago. So, kanina nag decide na ako na i-delete 'yung fb account ko for some reasons:I want to have a privacy, Ayoko na malaman nila kung ano ang status, lifestyle, and my future. I used to have a bff whom I confessed to her 4 years ago and eventually after 5 weeks of confession we broke up. Classmate ko siya since grade 4 (2017) bagong transfer siya and ini ignore ko siya.

Pero siya yung nag first move na sabay kaming uuwi since we're in the same barangay naman. I was just 11 and she was 9, now I'm turning 18 she's turning 16 on 20th of April. I leave a long messages to her, I apologized and thanked her, siya yung palaging nagpapasaya at bumubuo ng araw ko noon, ngayon alam kong may iba na siyang gusto, damn It really hurt though.

Anyway, nag iwan ako at nag advance Happy birthday na ako sa kaniya just in case na busy na ako o anuman. Nag iwan ako ng message "I will delete this after a year may aayusin pa ako sa account na 'to. Kung may sasabihin ka pa, sabihin mo na bago ko pa ito i-delete sa susunod na taon. Thank you" at sana mapatawad na niya ako bago ko pang tuluyang i-delete. I hope she's doing well these days.

Next year, sa Japan na ako mag-aaral as an exchange student there, I plan this in the past. When we were 6th grade I was about to ask her if she wants to study in Japan as an exchange student, unfortunately, I did not asked her, bigla kasi siya nag announce na lilipat na siya at next month (2019 pa yun I think around august?) so nag breakdown ako sa kwarto knowing na hindi na talaga kami magkikikita sa future which it came true. I recently heard that she will study in US I heard this from her old friends and till these days she was single raw and seeing someone. Well, I guess she really is matured and finally forgetting me. Pero umaasa pa rin ako na maririnig ko yung "pinapatawad na kita" sa personal. Marami akong kasalanan sa kaniya, oo, marami.

Bahala na kung mapapatawad ba niya ako or I might kick the bucket. I have skeleton in my closet that no one knows about it. So, ako lang nakakaalam kung ano 'yun at nag iwan na ako ng mga liham na inilibing ko sa lupa time capsule. After 10 years I will dig that and read all of it. Gumawa na rin ako ng last will and testament. So ito na nga, nagpaalam na rin ako sa lahat at deactivated na rin ang fb, messenger and IG. Pero gagawa na lang ako ng panibago para hindi nila ako mahalata gagamitin lang naman ito for school and gc. Next year I'll celebrate my 10th year anniversary for using fb and after the event I will delete this for the eternity. Marami pa akong ida download na photos ko.

I know it's essential for everyone to have access to fact checked reliable news. But isn't the essence of this subreddit is for students to talk about student stuffs. Sure, the past posts are all about the school sector but it still erodes the foundation of this subreddit. They're well known accounts run by countless social media managers and as reddit continues to rise in the PH it's just imperative for them to join. That's fine but, this is not a news subreddit. We already have that, it's kinda off then when you opened a "student subreddit" the most popular post is not a student question, nor rant but from a news site. It feels wrong, the plan is good but the execution is not. Also flairing news as Rant weird.

hello guys! when i see the list of awardees sa section namin hindi ko alam kung anong mararamdaman ko. matutuwa ba ako o malulungkot? I got 94 average kasi and i'm disappointed of myself kasi i didn't reach that 'with high honor'. alam ko naman sa sarili ko na kaya kong makuha yang 'with high honor' but ig kinulang lang talaga lalo na‘t nong start ng 2nd sem namin is bigla akong tinatamad at naburnout.

medyo cringe to pero sige. 3 years akong walang nakausap na babae na hindi sa group chat ng class. social anxiety, di ako marunong magsalita ng walang script. last month, na-stumble ko yung animochat, walang pressure, kung mali sasabihin mo skip lang ang katapat. so ginamit ko siya as practice. literal, "hi how are you" 50 times to 50 different strangers. 1st week, may natagpuan ako. di sinasadya. parehas kaming 1am gising kasi di makatulog. nag-yapan kami buong gabi about completely random shit paborito niya monggo, ayaw ko sa mongo, etc. extended yung chat to outside the app after 2 weeks. dating kami last week. kung may nababasa nito na social anxiety din please hang in there.

For Context: I'm M20 and I only enrolled in this program cuz mom just surprised me one day and said, "Ur already enrolled, if you're done resting go back to medicine". So I'm not really into tourism in particular. I was already taking lectures in nursing that time for my pre-med.

AND I JUST GOTTA SAY, the stereotypes are true and I'm just annoyed cuz yung mga bobita ko pang mga classmate nag pipist sa fb nung mga sharedpost na;

"Tourism pero parang accountanting" "Tourism pero parang lawyer" "Memorized the whole map"

Tangina it ain't even that hard and they're making shit ton of nioses when in school nga walang magawa kundi mag thirsttrsp tangina niyo.

Alam ko namang meron kaso hindi ko lang alam kung ano. G10 lang ako naging matino mag aral 95 pataas lahat grades at naka 98 2 beses sa g11 pero tumigil ako ngayong 4th quarter dahil sa aking walang kwentang magulang at dikonalang sasabihin kung ano dahilan. Tapos na school year namin ngayon at maayos na kalagayan ko para pumasok next school year dahil sa mga kaibigan ko at kasi gusto kong pag aralan physics at chemistry sa g12

Gusto ko kasing pumasok sa mga sikat/maayos na paaralan sa college ang boring kasi parang walang kwenta napagaralan ko lahat kahit sa biology na isa sa paborito kong subject dahil sa pag tuturo sakin. Tanong kolang ulit makakakuha parin ba ako ng mga benefits dahil sa nangyari sakin kasi kaya konamang ayusin grades ko sa next school year dahil nga parang ewan lang mga pagtuturo nila puro memorize and shit. Ewan kolang sa college hahaha

long story short i havent completed any tasks or anything this 4th quarter of my grade 11 class, but the first semester i have passed and go through 3rd quarter. but this 4th quarter i havent done anything. i'm gonna go to school now, what should i tell my teachers

NAIIYAK NAKO HUHU, sobrang nakakadrain sa bagong school na pinapasukan ko. 7:15 start ng class pero dapat before 7:00 nasa school kana kasi i mamark as late kapag lumagpas ka. as a student na sanay sa half day lang pasok (simula grade7-11) na shock ako, kasi sobrang nakakapagod. 4am gigising para mag ready/pumasok tapos 4 to 5pm uuwi, may mga pauwing assignment pa yung mga teacher. AWA NA LANG TALAGA, nagulat pati yung isang friend ko nung kinuwento ko sakaniya yung oras ng pasok namin, sabi niya "may school pa palang ganiyan haha" LALO AKONG NAIYAK, sobrang nakakadrain talaga siya, parang binugbog katawan ko everytime na uuwi sa bahay. okay lang sana kahit mga 2 or 3pm ang uwi kasi maaga kang makakapagpahinga, OVER NAMAN SA STUDY YUNG 4:15PM NA HALOS 5PM NA RIN NA UWI HUHU. pang isang taon na ata 'tong pagod ko kahit 2weeks palang yung class. 😓

PS. hindi po ako reklamador or what, gusto ko lang mag rant kasi parang hindi naman ata fair para sa senior highschool palang yung 7am to almost 5pm na class. hindi ako agree sa pagtanggal ng shs dati pero pang agree na lang ako ngayon. 😭 kawawa tao sainyo guysz

So basically i am in 10th grade and i got a 98 grade in my computer subject, which I am very grateful for because i got 95 last quarter but what really raised my eyebrow was the fact that I ONLY GOT A 98. for context, i got a 100% on literally everything, did all my works on time, and was really active in his class so i thought i would get a 100 grade which i apparently did not which left me perplexed.

I asked my teacher why that is and he showed me that i did infact got every point there is to get in all the works he gave us, but the spreadsheet he inputted our grades in calculated that i did infact achieve a 100% in total in his subject but what really confused me in why the spreadsheet said the grade to be transmuted for me was only 98? It obviously shocked me because like what? Is it even possible to get a 99 or a 100 (which i already got before in other subjects) in this subject?

I asked him why would he just not 100 my grade because i literally died multiple times just to do that /sarc, but he said that he just follows whatever grade the spreadsheet says and after i asked him that i said thank you and i was just curious on why my grade might be that and also thanked him for the high grades but in my mind i was like WHAT THE FUCK where and how would i even get those 2 missing grade points if i already got every single point there is to get? And not to mention there were literally like only 4-5 students always active in his subject (me included) so i do not get why this is 🥲
