“Field trip in less than a few more hours! At least I can get to enjoy my well-deserved break kahit saglit lang, to spend it with my friends! Pero always first, dapat kailangan kong i-make sure na ang mga mini and major task ko ay okay ang progress.”
That’s what past me said a few hours ago. I decided that para mamake sure ko minimal nalang ang gagawin ko even during field trip, I would do the most I can today and in the succeeding day. And that’s what I did.
I started a meeting around 8 PM sa Google Meet. Medyo mabagal yung classmates ko mag-join pero go lang kasi at least marami-rami kami di tulad kagabi na tatlo lang.
What were we doing? We were meeting for the finalization of our script-making and to continue our recording process. Easier said than done, and it was in fact, easier said than done.
When we have projects like this, I devised a robust plan to efficiently be able to do stuff with my classmates kahit nasa bahay kami. I decide to start a meeting. I meet with my classmates to discuss the process of our project and para mafinalize as output, and if our project needs voice-overs, we can easily do that in Google Meet, and mas authentic pa dahil sunod-sunod yung nagsasalita, and like in a real pod-cast, we can bat in immediately when we have a thought to say. This lessens cuts during editing and allows for multitasking - habang nag-eedit, pag-usapan kung ano ang maganda (sharescreen kami kanya-kanya para makita and mapakinggan yung edit) and/or brainstorming of the next procedure.
Mid-meeting, I was editing the script for finalization. Lahat ng groupmates ko they were busy din, so di ko nalang muna kinulit. May nagjoin sa docsnamin, I don’t know when but it’s around 10 minutes earlier presumably. I thought someone was supposed to help me finalize. A few minutes later, I went away saglit kasi inutusan ako sa baba. Afterwards, I came back upstairs and I saw right in front of my eyes, the entirety of our script being highlighted. Kala ko lang may nakapindot, saglit lang akong may dinutdot sa cellphone ko dahil may notification. Then, I looked back on the screen, wala nang nakalagay sa page. I thought nakascroll down lang ako, but when I scrolled up, ito nalang ang nakita ko sa page;
—-–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Napikon ako dahil pagkahaba haba ng ginawa namin ay nabura lang ng ganun-ganun (I was able to recover it, but yung mga recently edited kong paragraphs during that half of the day were unrecoverable.
I was so infuriated that di ako nakapagpigil sa aming group chat, kasi mostly ako nalang din nagawa, at may gagawa pa ng kasalanan at halos wala nang ginawa.
(Hindi ko sasabihin ang pangalan niya, dahil hindi namin alam kung sino ang gumawa, unfortunately.)
Ano yung ipinaparating ko sa mensaheng ito? I’m trying to deliver a specific message na please don’t do us leaders like this. Hindi madaling maglead ng isang group, kahit kakaunti lang ang member mga 5 to 9 members lang, mahirap parin. Hindi namin deserve maapi ng ganun na kung saan pinaghirapan namin buburahin lang. For me, and probably for a few leaders as well - hindi na nga kami nagkakaroon ng time para sa aming sarili. The reality is, sometimes inuuna namin yung group activity kasi gusto naming matapos na, kahit maraming individual activity ang kailangan pang gawin, and sometimes even on top of other group projects. It’s unacceptable na ganto nalang treatment namin despite being the carrier - hindi na nga lang magpasalamat o tumulong in respect sa ginawa. Please, wag kayong maging ganung groupmate. Nakakahiya, pati sa mga tumutulong na group members. Sabi nga, wag maging lamok na nakapatong sa kalabaw.
For the few people concerned, our group is still suffering from the effect of the incident, we’re having difficulty replacing the missing parts of our script. We’re not even halfway through the recording process yet, kahit editing wala pa. There’s still key points missing from our output which was mostly affected by the incident and other factors. Otherwise, I’m still pushing through to make sure our progress improves smoothly.
Again, like what I’ve said, please don’t treat us leaders like this. We need justice for the many outputs we’ve stitched together painstakingly, full of blood and sweat. It’s not funny, and especially not cool. Utang na loob na lang ang maiaambag niyo, kaya please listen and cooperate sa group projects nyo. PLEASE!
