Grades aren’t everything. But they don’t mean nothing. Congratulations Tiffy. You may have gotten some measure of fame because of your stellar performance in college, and in UP no less. The work has barely begun, and you have a long way to go. Stay grounded and focus on the work of nation-building. Enjoy the journey to becoming a doctor soon. May you and every Isko and Iska (including me) worth his and her salt truly serve the people. *taas kamao* -currently R&D Scientist for Asia Pacific
Ramdam na ramdam ko ang ingit at pait sa buhay ni Gerardo. Titser ka pa pala? Susme hindi halata. Baka wala ka ng pasukan sa pinagsasabi mo. At fyi hindi na uso aktibista ngayon. Front lang iyan ng party list. Ako natuwa ako sa achievement ni Tiffany. It proves na walang imposible.
Exactly my thoughts! I can't believe there's a prof in UP who thinks this way. Why can't we just be happy for Tiffany and do away with crab mentality. BS Biology is a tough major - I used to be a BS Bio student but I shifted to another major. I couldn't imagine having that GPA and I'm really proud of Tiffany.
Tama si prof. I agree with him. I've met people from here and abroad na matataas ang grades straight As lagi sa school but not really 'intelligent' and fail in real life. Hindi naapply sa totoong buhay at hindi nagagamit sa tama ang galing sa klase.
Kasama cla sa failure at tagumpay ng taong yan. Kung pagbabasehan ang lahat ng requirements na sila mismo nag papaproduce sa mga estudyante at the end of the day sasabihan kang di kasama yan sa tagumpay mo, anong klaseng guro ka na naghuhubog ng tama sa estudyante mo. Sa sobrang pagiging rightist mo teacher, nagiging mali ka na! Sana ung talino na na share mo sa estudyante mo, di maadopt ng utak nila kasi baluktot ka magisip. Shameful professor!
hindi nagagamit sa TAMA ang galing sa klase--- Anon 11:32PM taray mo mam bakit IKAW ang nagdedecide kung pano gamitin ng TAMA ang talino? there is no UNIVERSAL truth. kung ang truth ni lanuza ay magaling ka pag sumama sa pagmamartsa, may ibang tao na ang truth ay nasa peaceful struggle at academic excellence. at may ibang tao din naman na INIIMPOSE ang truth nila sa ibang tao , like you. agree lang ng agree, wala namang substantial discourse. kaloka!
@1:13AM: I agree with you. Ganyan ang karamihan ng profs dyan sa UP Diliman dahil ako mismo ay na-experience ko yan to the point na hinarang ng isang prof na insecure ang scholarship ko abroad to the point na tinawagan niya yung scholarship committee and she really exerted effort to pull strings para lang di maibigay saoin ang scholarship and nagtagumpay siya on that part. Well, I went on with my life and I am in better situation now dahil hindi ako kasing poor ng prof na yun now. Kanya na ang scholarship grant, at least sa age kong ito ma laking bata sa kanya, earning a 6-digit monthly is so far sa kanyang poor pay check now.
Blessing in disguise din pla na hindi naging prof ni tiffany ang bitter ocampong ito... while grades are not everything, you cannot discount the fact na importante yan, lalo na sa isang institution na dapat lugar ng katalinuhan pero ngayon ay puro aktibista nalang yata ang niluluwa... with tiffany's achievement, kahit papaano ay hindi mo panghihinayangan ang taxes mo na napunta sa education... may mga iska at isko pa palang seryoso sa pag-aaral at hindi puro yabang lang ang alam...
I can't believe these people (Lanuza and supporters) are from UP! Nasaan ang academic freedom ng unibersidad kung sa mismong ACADEMICS eh hindi pwedeng mag-excel?! Nasapawan lang kasi sila hindi nakakuha ng ganyang grades nung sila ang nag-aaral. Ito yung mga prof na gustong perfect ang gawa ng estudyante bago bigyan ng 1.0 na grade, pero nung may nakakuha naman (almost) eh ayaw pa rin! Gosh! Hindi porke hindi nakiki-rally sa inyo eh hindi na matalino. In fact, masasabi pa nga na matalino si Ms. Uy dahil hindi sya nauto ng mga paandar nyong puro anti-everything na lang!
Pwedeng mapetisyon mapaalis iyang si Gerardo Lanuza kasi parang kinwestiyon na niya mga professors at sistema ng UP. Makaloko ka ng isang professor pwede, pero maloko mo lahat ng professors para bigyan ka ng flat 1 mahirap naman ata iyon. Pinahirapan ng bata iyon sobrang bitter ng lalaki /bakla na ito ha
Same here. Tiffany worked hard for her GPA, so let's give credit where credit is due. If I were a student in UP, I wouldn't register for this Prof's classes. He spouts a load of insecurities and bitterness.
Prof Lanuza, what's wrong with a student dedicated with academics? In UP you can be a nerd, a conio, or an activist. Whatever floats your boat. And if she was never absent from classes, what's the big deal with that? At least she really got her money's worth. Besides, she got the weekends to do other things, unless rallying and protests are the only other activities a student can do for you. You're quite bigoted too, given that Tiffany had done Biology, so other than her GE subjects, which she had probably finished by her freshman and sophomore years, why would she pick a fight and debate with her other profs when they are dealing with life science? There's no comparison between say, Botany to Pol Sci 11.
I read that UP is for Filipino only, OK, who is pure Filipino? only the aetas, those with Spanish, malay sounding surname, you are all mix blood. You are mix with malay, Chinese, Spanish, etc.
That's not true, only 3 or 4% of the whole Filipino population have Spanish ancestry. Those Spanish-sounding surnames were given in the 19th century to Filipinos to streamline the tax system.
no you read yours 1:13... i agree with 1:37 halong malay descent na ang majority ng pilipino.. di ko maintindinhan bat di niyo nagegets na wala ng purong pilipino ngaun o siguro aeta ka?
Iba iba din naman kasi ang katalinuhan ng mga tao. Merong book smart at meron namang street smart. Mahusay sa lahat yung combo ng dalawang yan. Pero marami akong kilalang book smart na kulang sa EQ at aanga-anga sa realidad ng buhay. At mas may common sense pa ang mga taong street smart kesa sa kanila.
The comMenter, i believe, meant that book smart are mostly in to theories and street smart are into actual. There is truth to what he/she said. There are more street smart people who became successful that the book smart people. And to add, i have a friend who is a personnel manager said that most of the smart UP applicants failed in the EQ exams
The poor girl doesn't deserve all this hate. The haughty professor only showed how he gives grades to his students. What an idiot. Same goes for the people questioning her lineage. Why can't we all be happy for one person's achievements?
Di ba pwedeng hangaan ang effort ni Grace? At kahit mag-aral ka ng 24 hours each day at mahina ang ulo di ka pa rin makakakuha ng 1.00. Gusto nyo magdoctor to serve her country, masama pa ba yun? Kung gusto ng ibang student magrally at magdebate eh di go. At ang pagiging pinoy wala sa apelyido. Nasa puso yan. Kaya congrats sayo Grace!!
Exactly! The fact that Tiffany's hard work paid off is a good thing. There is merit in working/studying hard. She takes her schooling seriously and she refuses to waste her parent's money. Lanuza you should stop teaching if good grades and hard work do not matter to you. Teach people how to cheat and steal instead. Sour graping creep.
Mr. Lanuza, I'm confused now of your reasoning and judgement. Bakit hindi ka na lang maging masaya for Tiffany? You're a disgrace sa UP. I won't be surprised kung maghahanap k ng ibang pagtuturuan in the future.
Ganyan ba talaga kalakaran sa mga state U? kaya di umuunlad ang Pilipinas kasi sa sangay pa lang ng edukasyon madami ng maraming opinion kung ano ba talaga ang basehan. Be professional na lang sana kay prof. Sya tuloy itong naging masama kasi kinorrect sya but I dtill think may point naman sya siningit nya lang yung about sa mga pag aalsa na iyan .. Ekis sya don.
kung nakuha ni Tiffany yung mga grades na yan na walang daya e manahimik na yung mga hater. to be that consistent in getting those grades just means she is smart, intelligent and at the same time blessed kasi she can be the smartest pero not enough yun to be that consistent. God has a lot to do with it. on the other hand, the whole achievement does not mean na happy ever after na ang sunod. kaya wala talaga dapat ika inggit. kanya kanya tayo ng landas. sa tingin ko kung alam lang ni Tiffany na may ganitong ka negahan associated to her achievement, i think she would opt to be less successful.
Mr. Lanuza, yung kasama mong mga faculty na palaging absent sa klase ang bigyan mo ng pansin. Huwag yung estudyante na ginawa ng maaayos yung responsibilidad niya bilang estudyante.Congrats Tiffany!
Pati ba naman achievement ng isang matinong estudyante gawan ng issue. Ano ba! ang daming problema sa Pilipinas. Mag check ka nalang ng papel. Kalurkey.
It's true that grades aren't everything but what's important are the values behind how she got those grades. Time management, prioritization, and HARD WORK. People, just be happy for the girl and be inspires of her achievement. She's living proof to all the lazy youth out there that you can have a life but still excel in school. Yea, grades arent everything but if she continues with those values and attitude SHE will succeed in her life. I can't say the same for all the bitter people there. Wala ba kayong ibang ulam kungdi ampalaya?
May gustong ipahayag si Ginoong Lanuza pero sa maling pamamaraan...ang tanong ko ay kung sakaling hindi na achieve ni Grace ang pinakamataas na grado pero summa cum laude pa rin, ganyan pa rin ba ang saloobin nya? Mas gusto nya pala ay maging aktibista ang tao, mag-absent, palaaway sa guro. Grabe ka prof. dapat ka nga bang tawaging Prof or galanging? Nasaktan ba ang ego mo dahil babae sya and isang Chino? May gusto ka bang estudyante na sa tingin nyo ay more deserving?
Hindi ibig sabihin mataas grades niya eh yun lang ginawa nya for her whole academic career. I dont personally know Tiffany's story, but I think she joined orgs and/or leadership activities. Because the way I see it, having big grades means the person is discipline and responsible, not just smart. Mahirap kaya i-maintain yan.
Another example na racist ang mga ilang Pilipino. Lakas makapagsabi na hindi Filipino si Uy. Filipino/half/or not, so what? Kahit ano pa nationality nya, nagsikap sya na makuha yung grade na yan.
If it's easy to get an almost perfect grade, bakit hindi lahat nakakuha nito? Wag na man sana masyado obvious na inggit kayo... If walang masabing matino, quiet nalang please because ikaw, mr lanuza, ang nagpapahiya sa sarili mo.
Siguro kung sa Harvard o ibang Ivy League schools nagtapos si Tiffany super claim na tayo na Pinoy sya at buong yabang na ipagmamalaki sa buong mundo and nobody will question her ethnicity.
inggit aya si kumareng Gerardo kay Tiffany, beauty and brains kasi e. i don't get it. why would the hell in the first place give tiffany a high mark and "1" for that matter if he thinks that Tiffany doesn't really deserve it or isn't that intelligent? hindi ganun kadali makakiha ng "1" sa UP noh. ay ewan. kawawa naman yung bata.
Prof. Lanuza alongside the rest of UP professors detesting the achievement of Tiffany Uy -- granted, hindi kahulugan na matalino ang isang tao komo't naka-flat none, but you in academe sector must have appreciated the effort exerted by a student. Iba iba din ang pamamaraan para makakuha ng matataas na marka, para-paraan din. You guys could have appreciated her attitude towards her studies, because what she has been doing may also prevail once she steps onto corporate world, and WALANG SILBI ang TALINO kung PULPOL naman sa attitude and commitment. Kahit mentally gifted ka man -- yung tipong walang ka-effort-effort umachieve ng 1.0 -- uuwi ka ring 'strikesoil' kung wala kang attitude and commitment.
Mr. Lanuza, nakakain ka ba ng ampalaya? Gumagawa ka ba ng panibagong definition ng matalino? Grace deserved her final grade because she is smart, intelligent, dedicated, committed. Kahit matalino ka pero tamad ka naman, wala ding mangyayari sa iyo. Nakakainis lang makabasa ng mga bitter comments, hindi na lang kayo maging happy. E ano kung Chinese siya? Anong magagawa nya kung talagang pinaghirapan nya grades nya?
Congrats Tiffany! Sana maituloy mo ang talino at kasipagan mo hanggang sa UP PGH at Sana duon ka rin magpractice pra ang talino mo ay maibahagi mo sa Mas maraming mahirap na Pilipino! Ma husay ka at Sana Dalin mo sa Mas dakilang layunin ang bigay na talino ng Dyos sayo pra magsilbi sa mga tao at hindi pangsariling yaman! God bless you on your next endevours!
What's wrong with some people these days? The achievement of Miss Uy is exemplary to think that she was able to balance her studies, social and love life plus the many distractions in today's world. It's IQ plus EQ that she have and I admire her. I hope the youth of today will set her as an example in their lives.
Photocopy. Some books used as reference can be found in the library but are not available for sale. Kasehodang na-tour mo na lahat ng bookstores at Recto. Kapag kelangan talaga iyong book, during my UP days, I got to the library very earlyto reserve that book overnight and get it photocopied cover to cover and get it binded. It violates copyrights, but no choice na eh, sa dami nyo ring gustong hiramin iyong book.
mabuti na lang nagsalita na si Sylvia Claudio! we need her likes to balance narrowmindedness in the premiere university. teka, nahiya ako, kase bilang taxpayer, pinasusuweldo ko din si Ginoong Lanuza. hay.
Bakit mo sinisiraan ang product ng school n pinagtuturuan mo dapat nga maging proud ka kc may estudyante na tulad ni tiffany at magsilbing inspirasyon sa mga kabataan ngayon.Professor ka ba talaga?
Mr. Gerardo Lanuza, I do hope that when you look at the mirror, you see a short individual with kinky hair and burnt skin. Smile at your image and tell yourself that you are a Filipino. But it ain't so, just shut up and teach. Students who enter UP are there to learn and not to join protests. P.S. -- Mas bagay po kayong magturo sa PUP
okay na sana yung sinabi mo Anon 11:35, that he look at himself and just do what he ought to do. kaya lang to mention other university and say na mas bagay siya magturo dun, parang kailangan mo na rin manalamin at tignan ng maigi ang sarili mo and shut up na rin.
Ang PUP kung tutuusin ang state U. Noong panahon ko, 1998-2000, ang tuition fee per sem is P350 lang. Standardized yan. At hindi basta basta ang makapasok at mag maintain ng grades sa PUP. Oo mahilig kaming magprotesta, pero kasi, yun na lang ang armas namin, boses. Wala kasi kaming mga pera. Inaalipusta pa ng mga katulad mo.
Iba na pala ang panahon ngayon no, kahit magsipag ka na pumasok araw araw, i complete lahat ng projects and generally pakita mo ang enthusiasm mong mag excel pupunahin ka pa din. Nakakahiya teacher na naturingan pero against sa idea ng pag aaral ng mabuti. Some role model.
I suppose sa baba ng standards nung Lanuza na yan over the sarili nyang grading process hindi macomprehend ng utak nya ba kelangan mong magsipag para tumaas grades mo. Teacher ka pa man din nakakahiya.
OA ng mga prof na naninira kay Tifanny ha! Deserve naman nung bata ung grades niya at honor kasi PINAGHIRAPAN niya un at hindi dinaya! Sus wag naman racist! Walang kinalaman si Tifanny sa issue ng China at sa mga pulo ng Pilipinas... To Tifanny Uy: 恭喜！干得好！Gōngxǐ! Gàn dé hǎo!
Kung kinekwestyon mo kung matalino si tiffany, sana tanungin mo din sarili mo...tama ba sa katalinuhan mong magpost ng ganun comment ngayun na prof ka ng UP? tama ba na bnigyan mo ng dahilan ang UP para palayasin ka dyan sa pinagtuturuan mo? matalino ba ang ginawa mo?? hahaha owell...u wil know at d end kung cnu ang mas matalino sa inyo pag jobless ka na. kahiya hiya ka baklish!
Maybe it is just the way the message was sent but there is truth to what the guy said. Tiffany was able to fulfill whatever her teachers are asking. Unfortunately, that is the only gauge they can use. Think of it this way, for those who have taken some kind of bar or board exams. Those who topped just means they reviewed the questions that were asked so they know the answer. Marami dyan na bumagsak sa board. That does not mean mahina utak nila. Pwedeng matalino din sila. Nagkataon lang na hindi nila alam o nareview iyong ibang tinanong sa test.
for what and for who? what a dumb question. of course she is doing it for herself and for her parents. we all want to have a good future, we all have dreams of what we want to become someday and for sure that's her goal in life. unless this prof knows any under the table negotiations thats why she got that grade, then you will be seen as a bitter person for all those rants. Now, what we should look out for is how she will face the real world, outside of UP, with those grades. Congrats and Good Luck!
Kurek 10:47. Hindi lang yun, tila napaka makasarili mag-isip nitong si 4:45. Neng, kung lahat ng bagong graduates ganyan mag-isip, wala nang kabataang mangangarap na isulong ang pag-unlad ng bayan. Ang mga iskolar ng bayan (yan ang tawag sa mga taga UP, in case lang hindi mo alam) ay may responsibilidad sa bayan at mamamayan. It's certainly not just about herself and her parents, 'ika mo nga.
10:47 So??? Your professor is still narrow-minded ans jealous. You obviously agree with his bigotry. If you agree with him, eh di go!!! Magsama kayo. Hindi kayo yayaman nyan! Pwe!!! Crab mentality at its finest.
To Gerardo Lanuza: Hoy bak**! ang lakas ng inggit mo sa katawan a...malamang kasi narating ni tiffany ang mga pinangarap mong marating dati at hindi mo nagawa? or perhaps feel mo sana ikaw yan?? tama wala sa sukatan na uno sa lahat ng subject ay matalino, pero atleast c tiffany nagtiyaga, naghrap, nagsipag na marating yun. Pero kayo po, hawak nyo ang pangalan bilang guro ng UP pero ang sama ng paguugali at nagawa mo pa talagang I-post....mabuti na din un para my record ang UP na mapalayasin ka. Isa kang kahihiyan...I pity ur students. Wag sana cla ma-under sayo. Wala na nga makukuhang aral, baka sumama pa ugali. pweh layas!!!
Reading Mr. Lanuza's comments, I realized the plight of our public school students. I was lucky to be sent to a private school. However, I feel that students from lower income bracket families don't deserve to be bullied by those people who were entrusted to their care. No wonder may mga taong "asal kalye" even if they graduated from college. The students were subjected to abuse that they think that abusive behavior is the norm.
Tiffany don't mind your bashers. Stand tall and proud. Just be thankful that God gave you a different path and you grew up without knowing the feeling of hatred and bitterness.
Ano namang mapapala ni Sir Gerry sa pagbash kay Tiffany? You aren't seeing the point guys. It's not a personal attack on Tiffany but a challenge to every UP student. Our professors have instilled in us the idea that what differentiates a UP student from the rest is that we should have a conscious use of knowledge and self to serve the people. Service over glory. As one pursues knowledge, one should be aware why and for what it should be. It's a disservice to the students, to UP as an institution, and to the country if we only ever produce self-serving graduates.
Pwede nya sabihin yan in a more decent and professional manner. Basahin mo ulit ang statement nya, mas na highlight ang pag discredit nya sa achievement ni Tiffany kesa sa sinasabi mong "point" nya.
Agree! Matagal ko nang fina-follow sa Fb si Prof. Lanuza, and every year may posts siya tungkol sa mas pinapahalagahan ang grades kaysa sa natutunan sa paaralan, at pulpol ang grades at diploma kung hindi ito gagamitin to serve the Filipino people. Hindi ko alam kung madami bang natamaan ngayon kaya ganiyan maka react ang mga tao, pero kung mag baback read lang sana sila makikita nila na lahat ng posts ni Sir ay hindi para sa isang tao, kundi para pag-isipin ang lahat.
What part of 'not a personal attack on Tiffany' did you not understand? Many students have failed themselves, UP and the Filipino people because they were more interested in getting good grades. Yung mga students na walang care sa mga social issues dahil grades lang ang habol nila. Yung mga parang perfect robot, highly productive but easily manipulated dahil hindi sila critical. Hindi pa rin si Tiffany yun, okay? It just so happens that she's the embodiment of the dreams of the kind of UP students I was speaking of.
Akala ko students lang sa UP ang mahilig gumawa ng protesta (wag na ideny) pati pala teachers???!?? Nakakaloka ka teh mag grade ng students mo ha!! Parang sinabi mo paxerox at pasok lang makaka UNO na! Anung silbi ng lecture mo wag ka na ring magturo pa xerox ka nalang ng buong libro at pa attendance!! Pak pak pak!
Teacher lanuza cguro dapat attend k ng class for good behaviour and right conduct. And UP should be as higpit with screening their professors kcng higpit ng entrance exam sa pgpasok sa UP. Nakakahiya kng me ganyang mentalidad na ngtuturo sa UP. Imagine the wisdom he would pass his students!!!
meron kasi talagang mga professors/teachers na nababasag ang ego pag mas matalino at marunong sa kanila mga estudyante nila at hindi kinakaya ng blood pressure nila yun kaya ayan sumasabog. hahaha!
Ang daming insecure! Grabe! Crab mentality to the highest level! I have a highschool classmate na graduate ng UP and he has been posting recently na sana siya dapat ang nandun, na ganito lamg ang lamang ni topnatcher sa knya etc.... So with this post of FP, i conclude na insecure etong mga taga UP at ayaw nilang may manlalamang sa kanila. Tsk tsk
so what if she's not pinoy? give credit where credit is due...she worked hard for those marks...so she deserves to reap the benefits of the sacrifices she made..
To Lanuza, you're supposed to be an educator and not a basher! Would you rather have somebody who's always tardy or absent in his/her classes because he/she is always present in every picket lines or protests than this girl who did her best and focused herself in her studies? Isn't it the reason why all of us go or went to school? That's why it's called a SCHOOL,to learn, to study, and not to be a part of chaos that an educator like you teach them. So, you mean to tell me that , a Filipino can't be a Cum Laude in different countries just because they weren't born there? in other countries, i.e here in the US, they give scholarships to everyone even if they're not a citizen. Wake up Lanuza! ayan napapala mo sa pagiging present mo lagi sa lahat ng pakikibaka sa tiwali mong pagiisip! Bastos ka! Epal!
Sir gerry did not single out Tiffy in his first post. It's a general reminder to all students who merely work to get high grades and not really understand what they're studying and what for.
Eh sinong magaling Prof Lanuza? Yung mga aktibista sa UP na 5++ years nag-aaral at hindi maka graduate dahil sa pag aattend ng mga rallies? Hindi ba nasasayang ang tax namin sa kanila?
Excuse me Anon 9:10, nabasa mo na ba sa Rappler ang tungkol kay Raoul na Summa Cum Laude sa UP Visayas? Baka lang hindi. Nahiya naman yung mga UP grads na National Artist kagaya Bienvenido Lumbrera, na isang tibak, sa iyo. Isama mo na din si Dr. Carol Araullo, nanay ni Atom, na nag valedictory address at nag lightning rally nung graduation niya sa UP. Hindi ko alam kung bakit galit na galit kayo sa mga aktibista, pero tuwang-tuwa naman kayo sa mga natatamasa niyong tagumpay dahil sa collectve action. Please, wag niyo ring ipag malaki yung tax niyo sa UP students dahil walang napupunta sa edukasyon nila mismo. Karamihan sa mga UP students 1000-1500 per unit ang tuition no!
Prof Lanuza's comment is a glaring and direct reflection of how he is as a professor and his views on his students. Hopefully, not too many students will enroll in his class after this.
Oo, prof sa UP si Sir Gerry. Naging teacher ko siya sa SocSci1. Magaling siya but iba talaga trip niya. He's not someone to mince words about anything. I don't think he's belittling the achievement of Tiffani; gusto lang niya ipointout na ang high grades in school does not necessarily equates intelligence. Kasi sa UP halos lahat naman talaga matalino kaya lang ung iba tamad magaral kaya mga 2.5 to tres ang final grade. Eto kasi talaga si Sir napakasarcastic ever tsaka iba siya mag isip compared to the majority pero I don't think inggit siya kay Tiffani. And for the record nagbibigay ng uno si Sir Gerry. (Not me though. 1.5 binigay niya sakin. Hehe)
Mas OK sumuporta sa may disiplinang estudyante kaysa naman sa rebelde. At gaano ka naman kasigurado na para sa sariling kapakanan lang ang iniisip ni Tiffany, o ng mga taong nagsusumikap sa pag-aaral? Kapag nag-trabaho ka, in a way pagsisilbi yan sa bayan, kahit pa street sweeper ka "lang". OO, inaasahan natin ang malaking kontribusyon ng UP graduates para sa bayan, pero hindi lahat ay na-aachieve ng pag-aaklas. Marami talagang parang batingaw sa ingay, pero kulang naman ang kontribusyon sa welfare ng mga Pilipino. Kung guro ka, mas iinspire ko ang estudyante na maging diligent at makatulong sa bayan, kaysa magrebelde.
'We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit' - Aristotle. Tiffany, you are excellence personified and a great role model for our young. Lanuza, what are you?

DeleteProf Lanuza, what's wrong with a student dedicated with academics? In UP you can be a nerd, a conio, or an activist. Whatever floats your boat. And if she was never absent from classes, what's the big deal with that? At least she really got her money's worth. Besides, she got the weekends to do other things, unless rallying and protests are the only other activities a student can do for you. You're quite bigoted too, given that Tiffany had done Biology, so other than her GE subjects, which she had probably finished by her freshman and sophomore years, why would she pick a fight and debate with her other profs when they are dealing with life science? There's no comparison between say, Botany to Pol Sci 11.
ReplyDeleteAnon 1:28 best comment for me. It's sad that there's a prof like him in UP - crab mentality at it's best.
Delete* crab mentality at its best!
DeleteI read that UP is for Filipino only, OK, who is pure Filipino? only the aetas, those with Spanish, malay sounding surname, you are all mix blood. You are mix with malay, Chinese, Spanish, etc.
ReplyDeleteThat's not true, only 3 or 4% of the whole Filipino population have Spanish ancestry. Those Spanish-sounding surnames were given in the 19th century to Filipinos to streamline the tax system.
DeleteExcuse me but having a spanish surname does not mean they are mixed blood. please read your history first before making such accusations .
Deleteno you read yours 1:13... i agree with 1:37 halong malay descent na ang majority ng pilipino.. di ko maintindinhan bat di niyo nagegets na wala ng purong pilipino ngaun o siguro aeta ka?
Delete2:29, You should read 8:31's reply.
Deletemali nadinig mo. dami kong kaklaseng porenjer nuon sa UP.
DeleteBakit ang daming bitter? Baka masipag lang si ate? Talo talaga ng masipag ang matalino.
ReplyDeletePwede ring matalino na masipag pa
DeletePareho sya, masipag at matalino. So there.
DeleteIba iba din naman kasi ang katalinuhan ng mga tao. Merong book smart at meron namang street smart. Mahusay sa lahat yung combo ng dalawang yan. Pero marami akong kilalang book smart na kulang sa EQ at aanga-anga sa realidad ng buhay. At mas may common sense pa ang mga taong street smart kesa sa kanila.
ReplyDeletee hindi naman street smart ang batayang para makakuha ng magandang grades
DeleteAng tanong: E, ano naman ngayon?
DeleteThe comMenter, i believe, meant that book smart are mostly in to theories and street smart are into actual. There is truth to what he/she said. There are more street smart people who became successful that the book smart people. And to add, i have a friend who is a personnel manager said that most of the smart UP applicants failed in the EQ exams
DeleteThe poor girl doesn't deserve all this hate. The haughty professor only showed how he gives grades to his students. What an idiot. Same goes for the people questioning her lineage. Why can't we all be happy for one person's achievements?
ReplyDeleteDi ba pwedeng hangaan ang effort ni Grace? At kahit mag-aral ka ng 24 hours each day at mahina ang ulo di ka pa rin makakakuha ng 1.00. Gusto nyo magdoctor to serve her country, masama pa ba yun? Kung gusto ng ibang student magrally at magdebate eh di go. At ang pagiging pinoy wala sa apelyido. Nasa puso yan. Kaya congrats sayo Grace!!
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with this UP Professor named Gerardo Languza Inggit?
ReplyDeleteExactly! The fact that Tiffany's hard work paid off is a good thing. There is merit in working/studying hard. She takes her schooling seriously and she refuses to waste her parent's money. Lanuza you should stop teaching if good grades and hard work do not matter to you. Teach people how to cheat and steal instead. Sour graping creep.
DeleteMr. Lanuza, I'm confused now of your reasoning and judgement. Bakit hindi ka na lang maging masaya for Tiffany? You're a disgrace sa UP. I won't be surprised kung maghahanap k ng ibang pagtuturuan in the future.
ReplyDeleteGanyan ba talaga kalakaran sa mga state U? kaya di umuunlad ang Pilipinas kasi sa sangay pa lang ng edukasyon madami ng maraming opinion kung ano ba talaga ang basehan. Be professional na lang sana kay prof. Sya tuloy itong naging masama kasi kinorrect sya but I dtill think may point naman sya siningit nya lang yung about sa mga pag aalsa na iyan .. Ekis sya don.
ReplyDeleteCrab mentality. Ganyan tayong Pinoy eh. Instead of appreciating, icriticize pa.
ReplyDeletekung nakuha ni Tiffany yung mga grades na yan na walang daya e manahimik na yung mga hater. to be that consistent in getting those grades just means she is smart, intelligent and at the same time blessed kasi she can be the smartest pero not enough yun to be that consistent. God has a lot to do with it. on the other hand, the whole achievement does not mean na happy ever after na ang sunod. kaya wala talaga dapat ika inggit. kanya kanya tayo ng landas. sa tingin ko kung alam lang ni Tiffany na may ganitong ka negahan associated to her achievement, i think she would opt to be less successful.
ReplyDeleteMr. Lanuza, yung kasama mong mga faculty na palaging absent sa klase ang bigyan mo ng pansin. Huwag yung estudyante na ginawa ng maaayos yung responsibilidad niya bilang estudyante.Congrats Tiffany!
ReplyDeletePati ba naman achievement ng isang matinong estudyante gawan ng issue. Ano ba! ang daming problema sa Pilipinas. Mag check ka nalang ng papel. Kalurkey.
ReplyDeletebakit mas madaming mayaman sa UP
ReplyDeleteIt's true that grades aren't everything but what's important are the values behind how she got those grades. Time management, prioritization, and HARD WORK. People, just be happy for the girl and be inspires of her achievement. She's living proof to all the lazy youth out there that you can have a life but still excel in school. Yea, grades arent everything but if she continues with those values and attitude SHE will succeed in her life. I can't say the same for all the bitter people there. Wala ba kayong ibang ulam kungdi ampalaya?
ReplyDeleteIbang klase ka, Lanuza! UP Prof ka pala, bakit ang shallow and bitter mo? What a disgrace to the institution! Itapon na yan!!
ReplyDeleteBat may hugot si Gerardo?! Di ba pwedeng maging masaya para sa bata kaloka
ReplyDeleteMay gustong ipahayag si Ginoong Lanuza pero sa maling pamamaraan...ang tanong ko ay kung sakaling hindi na achieve ni Grace ang pinakamataas na grado pero summa cum laude pa rin, ganyan pa rin ba ang saloobin nya? Mas gusto nya pala ay maging aktibista ang tao, mag-absent, palaaway sa guro. Grabe ka prof. dapat ka nga bang tawaging Prof or galanging? Nasaktan ba ang ego mo dahil babae sya and isang Chino? May gusto ka bang estudyante na sa tingin nyo ay more deserving?
ReplyDeleteHindi ibig sabihin mataas grades niya eh yun lang ginawa nya for her whole academic career. I dont personally know Tiffany's story, but I think she joined orgs and/or leadership activities. Because the way I see it, having big grades means the person is discipline and responsible, not just smart. Mahirap kaya i-maintain yan.
ReplyDeleteAnother example na racist ang mga ilang Pilipino. Lakas makapagsabi na hindi Filipino si Uy. Filipino/half/or not, so what? Kahit ano pa nationality nya, nagsikap sya na makuha yung grade na yan.
ReplyDeleteHaaaayyyy.... Nakakalungkot!
ReplyDeleteIf it's easy to get an almost perfect grade, bakit hindi lahat nakakuha nito? Wag na man sana masyado obvious na inggit kayo... If walang masabing matino, quiet nalang please because ikaw, mr lanuza, ang nagpapahiya sa sarili mo.
Siguro kung sa Harvard o ibang Ivy League schools nagtapos si Tiffany super claim na tayo na Pinoy sya at buong yabang na ipagmamalaki sa buong mundo and nobody will question her ethnicity.
ReplyDeleteTama ka.
Deleteinggit aya si kumareng Gerardo kay Tiffany, beauty and brains kasi e. i don't get it. why would the hell in the first place give tiffany a high mark and "1" for that matter if he thinks that Tiffany doesn't really deserve it or isn't that intelligent? hindi ganun kadali makakiha ng "1" sa UP noh. ay ewan. kawawa naman yung bata.
ReplyDeleteProf. Lanuza alongside the rest of UP professors detesting the achievement of Tiffany Uy -- granted, hindi kahulugan na matalino ang isang tao komo't naka-flat none, but you in academe sector must have appreciated the effort exerted by a student. Iba iba din ang pamamaraan para makakuha ng matataas na marka, para-paraan din. You guys could have appreciated her attitude towards her studies, because what she has been doing may also prevail once she steps onto corporate world, and WALANG SILBI ang TALINO kung PULPOL naman sa attitude and commitment. Kahit mentally gifted ka man -- yung tipong walang ka-effort-effort umachieve ng 1.0 -- uuwi ka ring 'strikesoil' kung wala kang attitude and commitment.
ReplyDeleteAw carmela lao a graduate of st jude catholic school sobrang talino rin ng babaeng ito.
ReplyDeleteMr. Lanuza, nakakain ka ba ng ampalaya? Gumagawa ka ba ng panibagong definition ng matalino? Grace deserved her final grade because she is smart, intelligent, dedicated, committed. Kahit matalino ka pero tamad ka naman, wala ding mangyayari sa iyo. Nakakainis lang makabasa ng mga bitter comments, hindi na lang kayo maging happy. E ano kung Chinese siya? Anong magagawa nya kung talagang pinaghirapan nya grades nya?
ReplyDeleteCongrats Tiffany. This is an accomplishment no matter which angle you look at it. Ang bitter ng Gerardo Lanuza, he's a disgrace to the UP community.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Tiffany! Sana maituloy mo ang talino at kasipagan mo hanggang sa UP PGH at Sana duon ka rin magpractice pra ang talino mo ay maibahagi mo sa Mas maraming mahirap na Pilipino! Ma husay ka at Sana Dalin mo sa Mas dakilang layunin ang bigay na talino ng Dyos sayo pra magsilbi sa mga tao at hindi pangsariling yaman! God bless you on your next endevours!
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with some people these days? The achievement of Miss Uy is exemplary to think that she was able to balance her studies, social and love life plus the many distractions in today's world. It's IQ plus EQ that she have and I admire her. I hope the youth of today will set her as an example in their lives.
ReplyDeletewhat is "nagpaxerox"?
ReplyDeletePhotocopy. Some books used as reference can be found in the library but are not available for sale. Kasehodang na-tour mo na lahat ng bookstores at Recto. Kapag kelangan talaga iyong book, during my UP days, I got to the library very earlyto reserve that book overnight and get it photocopied cover to cover and get it binded. It violates copyrights, but no choice na eh, sa dami nyo ring gustong hiramin iyong book.
DeleteWhoops, should be *got - go. Sorry :)
DeleteHaha anon pareho tayo ng style. Ganyan din ako noon.
DeleteKung naka perfect grade po yung estudyante, bakit po tayo kailangan magalit?
ReplyDeletemabuti na lang nagsalita na si Sylvia Claudio! we need her likes to balance narrowmindedness in the premiere university. teka, nahiya ako, kase bilang taxpayer, pinasusuweldo ko din si Ginoong Lanuza. hay.
ReplyDeleteAnon 10:36, I hope Prof Lanuza will read your comment so he'll come to his senses. Kudos to Prof Claudio!
Deletehiramin ko muna linya ni ateng geena rocero "SAD CASE, INGGIT NA INGGIT" hahaha....KALOKA KA INDAY GERARDO!
ReplyDeleteBakit mo sinisiraan ang product ng school n pinagtuturuan mo dapat nga maging proud ka kc may estudyante na tulad ni tiffany at magsilbing inspirasyon sa mga kabataan ngayon.Professor ka ba talaga?
ReplyDeleteMr. Gerardo Lanuza, I do hope that when you look at the mirror, you see a short individual with kinky hair and burnt skin. Smile at your image and tell yourself that you are a Filipino. But it ain't so, just shut up and teach. Students who enter UP are there to learn and not to join protests.
ReplyDeleteP.S. -- Mas bagay po kayong magturo sa PUP
okay na sana yung sinabi mo Anon 11:35, that he look at himself and just do what he ought to do. kaya lang to mention other university and say na mas bagay siya magturo dun, parang kailangan mo na rin manalamin at tignan ng maigi ang sarili mo and shut up na rin.
Deletewhat's up with the derogatory remarks regarding PUP? I' from PUP and I excel in my field. Wala kang pinagkaiba kay Mr. Gerardo Lanuza. Now Preach!
DeleteAy correct. Kaya ayaw ko sa UP dahil sa mga prof na ganyan.
DeleteAng PUP kung tutuusin ang state U. Noong panahon ko, 1998-2000, ang tuition fee per sem is P350 lang. Standardized yan. At hindi basta basta ang makapasok at mag maintain ng grades sa PUP. Oo mahilig kaming magprotesta, pero kasi, yun na lang ang armas namin, boses. Wala kasi kaming mga pera. Inaalipusta pa ng mga katulad mo.
DeleteAnon 12:22 baka mas ayaw ng UP sa 'yo. Pumasa ka ba ng UPCAT?
DeleteSus naman Anon 12:22, hindi ka lang nakapasa sa UPCAT. :))
DeleteIba na pala ang panahon ngayon no, kahit magsipag ka na pumasok araw araw, i complete lahat ng projects and generally pakita mo ang enthusiasm mong mag excel pupunahin ka pa din. Nakakahiya teacher na naturingan pero against sa idea ng pag aaral ng mabuti. Some role model.
ReplyDeleteI suppose sa baba ng standards nung Lanuza na yan over the sarili nyang grading process hindi macomprehend ng utak nya ba kelangan mong magsipag para tumaas grades mo. Teacher ka pa man din nakakahiya.
ReplyDeleteOA ng mga prof na naninira kay Tifanny ha! Deserve naman nung bata ung grades niya at honor kasi PINAGHIRAPAN niya un at hindi dinaya! Sus wag naman racist! Walang kinalaman si Tifanny sa issue ng China at sa mga pulo ng Pilipinas... To Tifanny Uy: 恭喜！干得好！Gōngxǐ! Gàn dé hǎo!
ReplyDeleteKung kinekwestyon mo kung matalino si tiffany, sana tanungin mo din sarili mo...tama ba sa katalinuhan mong magpost ng ganun comment ngayun na prof ka ng UP? tama ba na bnigyan mo ng dahilan ang UP para palayasin ka dyan sa pinagtuturuan mo? matalino ba ang ginawa mo?? hahaha owell...u wil know at d end kung cnu ang mas matalino sa inyo pag jobless ka na. kahiya hiya ka baklish!
ReplyDeleteUsed to like Sir Gerry, may sense naman yung sinasabi nya minsan kaya lang napansin ko, puro nega ang posts nya sa FB. Unfollowed him
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is just the way the message was sent but there is truth to what the guy said. Tiffany was able to fulfill whatever her teachers are asking. Unfortunately, that is the only gauge they can use. Think of it this way, for those who have taken some kind of bar or board exams. Those who topped just means they reviewed the questions that were asked so they know the answer. Marami dyan na bumagsak sa board. That does not mean mahina utak nila. Pwedeng matalino din sila. Nagkataon lang na hindi nila alam o nareview iyong ibang tinanong sa test.
ReplyDeletehindi din te kasi pag sinabing matalino alam mo ang sagot kahit ano pa ang itanong sayo.. kasi yong talino is stack knowledge yon..
DeleteLol Anon 5:45. Yuh. kinatalino mo yung "stack knowledge" mo e.
Delete9:10, It's stock, not stack.
DeleteHindi ko kinaya ang STACK knowledge. hahaha. siguro the bago ka makipag argue kay anon 3:40 ayusin mo muna spelling mo. maka talino ka jan. Lols
DeleteAsal PUP yang Lanuza na yan! Malamang NPA yan! Hoy matalino talaga yang bata na yan dahil hindi nauyo sumama sa mga kaepalang rally nyo!
ReplyDeleteKapag masama ugali, asal PUP agad?
DeleteHey that's mean. Wag mo idamay yung mga nananahimik.
DeleteWhat do you mean by asal PUP?
DeleteKasing kitid ng utak mo ang utak ni lanuza anon357... kasing kitid ng lutong misua!
Deletefor what and for who? what a dumb question. of course she is doing it for herself and for her parents. we all want to have a good future, we all have dreams of what we want to become someday and for sure that's her goal in life. unless this prof knows any under the table negotiations thats why she got that grade, then you will be seen as a bitter person for all those rants. Now, what we should look out for is how she will face the real world, outside of UP, with those grades. Congrats and Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteObviously you're not from UP.
DeleteKurek 10:47. Hindi lang yun, tila napaka makasarili mag-isip nitong si 4:45. Neng, kung lahat ng bagong graduates ganyan mag-isip, wala nang kabataang mangangarap na isulong ang pag-unlad ng bayan. Ang mga iskolar ng bayan (yan ang tawag sa mga taga UP, in case lang hindi mo alam) ay may responsibilidad sa bayan at mamamayan. It's certainly not just about herself and her parents, 'ika mo nga.
Delete10:47 So??? Your professor is still narrow-minded ans jealous. You obviously agree with his bigotry. If you agree with him, eh di go!!! Magsama kayo. Hindi kayo yayaman nyan! Pwe!!! Crab mentality at its finest.
DeleteTo Gerardo Lanuza: Hoy bak**! ang lakas ng inggit mo sa katawan a...malamang kasi narating ni tiffany ang mga pinangarap mong marating dati at hindi mo nagawa? or perhaps feel mo sana ikaw yan?? tama wala sa sukatan na uno sa lahat ng subject ay matalino, pero atleast c tiffany nagtiyaga, naghrap, nagsipag na marating yun. Pero kayo po, hawak nyo ang pangalan bilang guro ng UP pero ang sama ng paguugali at nagawa mo pa talagang I-post....mabuti na din un para my record ang UP na mapalayasin ka. Isa kang kahihiyan...I pity ur students. Wag sana cla ma-under sayo. Wala na nga makukuhang aral, baka sumama pa ugali. pweh layas!!!
ReplyDeleteito ang perfect example ng crab mentality. someone na talagang successful, ginagawan ng issue para pabagsakin.
ReplyDeletehahahahaha!!!! sikat na si Prof Lanuza
ReplyDeleteCongrats to her pero mas bilib ako if her she is an engineering grad.
ReplyDeleteTeh, mahirap din Bio kaya nakakabilib pa rin super naachieve niya
DeleteReading Mr. Lanuza's comments, I realized the plight of our public school students. I was lucky to be sent to a private school. However, I feel that students from lower income bracket families don't deserve to be bullied by those people who were entrusted to their care. No wonder may mga taong "asal kalye" even if they graduated from college. The students were subjected to abuse that they think that abusive behavior is the norm.
ReplyDeleteTiffany don't mind your bashers. Stand tall and proud. Just be thankful that God gave you a different path and you grew up without knowing the feeling of hatred and bitterness.
Ano namang mapapala ni Sir Gerry sa pagbash kay Tiffany? You aren't seeing the point guys. It's not a personal attack on Tiffany but a challenge to every UP student. Our professors have instilled in us the idea that what differentiates a UP student from the rest is that we should have a conscious use of knowledge and self to serve the people. Service over glory. As one pursues knowledge, one should be aware why and for what it should be. It's a disservice to the students, to UP as an institution, and to the country if we only ever produce self-serving graduates.
ReplyDeleteWeh?
DeletePwede nya sabihin yan in a more decent and professional manner. Basahin mo ulit ang statement nya, mas na highlight ang pag discredit nya sa achievement ni Tiffany kesa sa sinasabi mong "point" nya.
DeleteAgree! Matagal ko nang fina-follow sa Fb si Prof. Lanuza, and every year may posts siya tungkol sa mas pinapahalagahan ang grades kaysa sa natutunan sa paaralan, at pulpol ang grades at diploma kung hindi ito gagamitin to serve the Filipino people. Hindi ko alam kung madami bang natamaan ngayon kaya ganiyan maka react ang mga tao, pero kung mag baback read lang sana sila makikita nila na lahat ng posts ni Sir ay hindi para sa isang tao, kundi para pag-isipin ang lahat.
DeleteThen in the same light that it's not Tiffany's fault for being driven
DeleteWhat part of 'not a personal attack on Tiffany' did you not understand? Many students have failed themselves, UP and the Filipino people because they were more interested in getting good grades. Yung mga students na walang care sa mga social issues dahil grades lang ang habol nila. Yung mga parang perfect robot, highly productive but easily manipulated dahil hindi sila critical. Hindi pa rin si Tiffany yun, okay? It just so happens that she's the embodiment of the dreams of the kind of UP students I was speaking of.
DeleteAkala ko students lang sa UP ang mahilig gumawa ng protesta (wag na ideny) pati pala teachers???!?? Nakakaloka ka teh mag grade ng students mo ha!! Parang sinabi mo paxerox at pasok lang makaka UNO na! Anung silbi ng lecture mo wag ka na ring magturo pa xerox ka nalang ng buong libro at pa attendance!! Pak pak pak!
ReplyDeleteTeacher lanuza cguro dapat attend k ng class for good behaviour and right conduct. And UP should be as higpit with screening their professors kcng higpit ng entrance exam sa pgpasok sa UP. Nakakahiya kng me ganyang mentalidad na ngtuturo sa UP. Imagine the wisdom he would pass his students!!!
ReplyDeletemeron kasi talagang mga professors/teachers na nababasag ang ego pag mas matalino at marunong sa kanila mga estudyante nila at hindi kinakaya ng blood pressure nila yun kaya ayan sumasabog. hahaha!
ReplyDeleteAng daming insecure! Grabe! Crab mentality to the highest level! I have a highschool classmate na graduate ng UP and he has been posting recently na sana siya dapat ang nandun, na ganito lamg ang lamang ni topnatcher sa knya etc.... So with this post of FP, i conclude na insecure etong mga taga UP at ayaw nilang may manlalamang sa kanila. Tsk tsk
ReplyDeleteso what if she's not pinoy? give credit where credit is due...she worked hard for those marks...so she deserves to reap the benefits of the sacrifices she made..
ReplyDeleteMalungkot childhood neto ni Kuya haha
ReplyDeleteTo Lanuza, you're supposed to be an educator and not a basher! Would you rather have somebody who's always tardy or absent in his/her classes because he/she is always present in every picket lines or protests than this girl who did her best and focused herself in her studies? Isn't it the reason why all of us go or went to school? That's why it's called a SCHOOL,to learn, to study, and not to be a part of chaos that an educator like you teach them. So, you mean to tell me that , a Filipino can't be a Cum Laude in different countries just because they weren't born there? in other countries, i.e here in the US, they give scholarships to everyone even if they're not a citizen. Wake up Lanuza! ayan napapala mo sa pagiging present mo lagi sa lahat ng pakikibaka sa tiwali mong pagiisip! Bastos ka! Epal!
ReplyDeleteBitter! Maging happy nalang Sa achievement ng ibang tao ,dami pang kuda ..
ReplyDeleteSir gerry did not single out Tiffy in his first post. It's a general reminder to all students who merely work to get high grades and not really understand what they're studying and what for.
ReplyDeleteEh sinong magaling Prof Lanuza? Yung mga aktibista sa UP na 5++ years nag-aaral at hindi maka graduate dahil sa pag aattend ng mga rallies? Hindi ba nasasayang ang tax namin sa kanila?
ReplyDeleteExcuse me Anon 9:10, nabasa mo na ba sa Rappler ang tungkol kay Raoul na Summa Cum Laude sa UP Visayas? Baka lang hindi. Nahiya naman yung mga UP grads na National Artist kagaya Bienvenido Lumbrera, na isang tibak, sa iyo. Isama mo na din si Dr. Carol Araullo, nanay ni Atom, na nag valedictory address at nag lightning rally nung graduation niya sa UP. Hindi ko alam kung bakit galit na galit kayo sa mga aktibista, pero tuwang-tuwa naman kayo sa mga natatamasa niyong tagumpay dahil sa collectve action. Please, wag niyo ring ipag malaki yung tax niyo sa UP students dahil walang napupunta sa edukasyon nila mismo. Karamihan sa mga UP students 1000-1500 per unit ang tuition no!
DeleteYes but do you have an idea how much it cost per unit in other schools? Subsidized naming mga taxpayers pa din yung tuition Ng taga UP
Deletenaka juicing diet ata ng amapalaya ung professor na un.
ReplyDeleteProf Lanuza's comment is a glaring and direct reflection of how he is as a professor and his views on his students. Hopefully, not too many students will enroll in his class after this.
ReplyDelete-JH
Asa ka. GE subjects ang tinuturo niya. At pinipilahan ang GE subjects sa UP. Sorry ka na lang.
Deleteseriously, propesor sa UP yang lanuza? bakit mali-mali mag-english?!?

"...what you do when everything you know become (sic) useless!"
"...FOR WHAT AND FOR WHOM ARE YOU DOING THOSE THINGS FOR?" (sic) - may for na nga sa umpisa, may for pa rin sa dulo?
nakakahiya ka, ser!!!
Oo, prof sa UP si Sir Gerry. Naging teacher ko siya sa SocSci1. Magaling siya but iba talaga trip niya. He's not someone to mince words about anything. I don't think he's belittling the achievement of Tiffani; gusto lang niya ipointout na ang high grades in school does not necessarily equates intelligence. Kasi sa UP halos lahat naman talaga matalino kaya lang ung iba tamad magaral kaya mga 2.5 to tres ang final grade. Eto kasi talaga si Sir napakasarcastic ever tsaka iba siya mag isip compared to the majority pero I don't think inggit siya kay Tiffani. And for the record nagbibigay ng uno si Sir Gerry. (Not me though. 1.5 binigay niya sakin. Hehe)
DeleteMas OK sumuporta sa may disiplinang estudyante kaysa naman sa rebelde. At gaano ka naman kasigurado na para sa sariling kapakanan lang ang iniisip ni Tiffany, o ng mga taong nagsusumikap sa pag-aaral? Kapag nag-trabaho ka, in a way pagsisilbi yan sa bayan, kahit pa street sweeper ka "lang". OO, inaasahan natin ang malaking kontribusyon ng UP graduates para sa bayan, pero hindi lahat ay na-aachieve ng pag-aaklas. Marami talagang parang batingaw sa ingay, pero kulang naman ang kontribusyon sa welfare ng mga Pilipino. Kung guro ka, mas iinspire ko ang estudyante na maging diligent at makatulong sa bayan, kaysa magrebelde.
