pati nga teachers namin dati sa econ, de-kotse.. pero pagpunta mo sa AS, mga de-ikot/toki lang ang mga prof.. hehe..
inton:
totoo magagaling sila... maraming good job, marami ding palpak.. to sum it up, di umuusad.. parang tug of war ang direction.. ganito ang Pilipinas kasi gani ang gusto ng UP, walang majority. Proud ba kayo nito?
Noon meron nga tayong angat na kaalaman, pero sa pangkalahatan eh walang silbi.. Umaangkat pa nga tayo ng bigas eh.. Ngayon naman ay napag-iwanan na tayo sa kaalaman. Ang UP ay proud pa rin sa ginagawa nila, step down na sa kayo at gumawa na ng bagong landas tungo sa kaunlaran at wag pairalin ang baluktot nyong pag-iisip.
Kung may mamamatay sa loob ng isang school campus, malaking insulto yan, di kayo dapat proud dyan.. Ang mga estudyante ay nandyan para mag-aral hindi para mangaral...
eto para sa inyo, ::WAKE UP!!!

Yung mga nagsasabing hindi UP ang number one, mga in denial. Di nila matanggap ang laki ng pagitan ng UP sa iskwelahan nila. Yung iba naman mga bitter, hindi pumasa sa UPCAT kaya naninira?cheap daw ang U.P., Jologs ang U.P. (jolog: Gaudy, unelegant, without refinement in taste), magulo at delikado raw sa U.P., never daw nilang naisipang mag-aral sa U.P., pero deep inside U.P. ang dream school nila. Sabi nila, ito ang breeding ground ng mga future leaders ng Pinas ? pati na rin mga future rebels.

I took my Masters in UP but i did not like the system. I came from a State University as well which is very similar to UP (Mindanao State University), and i swear the system in that school is far worse. When i took a job, i am paired up with a UP graduate. my boss gave a preferential treatment to her simply because she is from UP, even if she is not a performer and she did not graduated top of her class (which i did). bottomline is, UP is overrated. sure there are good students from UP but not all people from UP are as brilliant as one thinks. student factor pa din yan. pero syempre, angat ang UP sa ibang state universities. ano nga ba naman ang panama ng PUP or ng PLM sa UP. hehehe
i think di dapat icompare ang UP sa ADMU at LaSalle. im taking my MBA at Ateneo and they dont even care which is better. i doubt if La Salle even noticed the difference. saka parang di level ang comparison kung ipagpipilitan ng UP ang sarili sa circle. hehehe

Keyjay, your experience merely shows that the person you were paired with - who happened to be a UP graduate - is overrated. We cannot say that UP itself, as an institution, is overrated. That would be a hasty generalization, wouldn't it?
You think that Ateneo and La Salle don't even notice UP? That's correct. They're too busy with basketball. :D
Kidding aside, I received my AB degree from UP. I received my JD from Ateneo. When did you take your masterals? We may have met each other along the hallowed halls of that ROckwell campus.
Just like you, however, I can speak for both schools, and I can say that I have a completely different experience from yours. It is common for members of the academe, from any school, to take some pot shots at other institutions from time to time. Fr, Joaquin Bernas, the Consti I and II teacher, for example, calls UP the "bastion of immorality." All in good fun however. Fact is, it's normal for any member of any academe to claim his school is the best and the rest are competing for leftovers.
It's called school pride. It's called "love your own." In your stay at the Ateneo, you may have never met an instructor who had enough bravado to use his wit to poke fun at other schools. But this doesn't mean that they refuse to compare their school with other schools.
Pride, after all, is a product of comparison. How can you be proud of something that falls pale in comparison with others, right?
You're right, UP cannot be compared to Ateneo or La Salle or Mindanao State College or De Guzman Institute of Technology.
UP is in a class of its own. :D
