PNU Freedom Wall
#TALIPSFreedomWall23453
Hello sa mga students sa PNU na galit na galit dahil puro may Latin honors ang BPHED. I honestly don’t get it. Lahat naman tayo may kanya-kanyang piniling major, and we chose the path we believed we could handle and, most importantly, the one we really wanted. So, why be bitter about it?
Hindi lang naman kami puro “laro” o “sayaw.” We also took General Education and Professional Education courses before we fully focused on our major. And even when we were already in our major, may academic courses pa rin kami. Hindi rin biro at hindi rin madaling pagsabay-sabayin lahat.
We had to balance our academic courses, sports, dance, and even our own sports and dance practices after class, tapos aral ulit dahil may facilitation, research, lesson plans, and other requirements pa. Lagi rin kaming kailangan ng university for different events and activities.
And outside academics, may buhay rin kami beyond BPHED. We also have organizations, community programs, outreach activities, volunteer work, and other responsibilities outside school. BPHED is just one part of who we are. Hindi lang kami students na pumapasok, naglalaro, sumasayaw, at umuuwi. We have other responsibilities, interests, commitments, and things we do beyond our course and beyond the university.
Kaya sana huwag naman kami i-reduce sa “BPHED lang” or “laro at sayaw lang.” Hindi man pare-pareho ang nature at difficulty ng bawat program, hindi ibig sabihin na mas madali na agad ang isa kaysa sa iba. We took this course because this is what we genuinely wanted, and we worked hard for it.
And kapag nag-apply na kami as teachers, MAPEH ang ituturo namin. Akala mo ba madali lang magturo ng apat na subjects? You have to handle different areas, prepare lessons, facilitate activities, assess students, and sometimes even handle school events. Hindi siya basta “laro at sayaw” lang.
At please, huwag din nating i-compare o bastusin ang ibang courses tulad ng Criminology na parang wala silang kwenta. Pinaghihirapan din nila ang field nila, just like everyone else. Hindi naman kailangan maliitin ang ibang major para ma-appreciate ang pinili natin.
Hindi rin naman namin kasalanan kung may mga nakakakuha ng Latin honors. They worked for it. If someone earned that recognition, then let them have it. Hindi naman nababawasan ang achievement ng ibang students dahil may ibang nagkaroon ng Latin honors.
I just hope you will be able to understand things first before choosing to hate or invalidate someone else's achievements. We all have different strengths, interests, workloads, responsibilities, and paths. Hindi naman kailangang pare-pareho tayo para respetuhin ang achievements ng isa't isa.
Congratulations to everyone who worked hard for their degree, whether may Latin honors or wala. We all deserve to be proud of what we accomplished.
God bless you. 🤍
