FEUP Tamanaraw

#feupfreedomwall #feupfw29 How’s the BSA program nmn po in FEUP ? Incoming freshie po hehe

#feupfreedomwall #feupfw29 Sa college po ba everyday face to face? May pasok po ba monday to friday?

#feupfreedomwall #feupfw28 Ask ko lang po if online clearance ba or onsite? and if online clearance ano po need gawin??

#feupfreedomwall #feupfw27 Hi! I just want to ask na kapag ba nagpapa clearance talagang may favouritism? Hahaha. One instructor na may office, pinagsulat lang kami sa labas ng office niya then akala namin tapos na clearance sa kanya then may dumating na particular department then tapos na agad sa clearance. Still waiting for only that office para ma finished ang clearance dahip need na namin ma view ang grade to know if we are qualified for sone scholarship we are applying for. I guess, we NEED to COME BACK AGAIN FOR THAT ONE. I hope all offices treat the students the same, without favouritism just because they are their students at some classes. We, students, are busy too.

#feupfreedomwall #feupfw26 bigyan muna sana ng breakdown yung 2k na ojt fee, last sem napilitan kami magbabyad para mapirmahan ang clearance at makapagenroll. Ngayon ganon ulit, need namin mag bayad para mapirmahan ang clearance, pero hindi namin alam san napupunta yung 2k sana naman bigyan niyo kami ng maayos na breakdown at yung development fee sobrang laki ng singil pero yung cr sa college building 2 academic years na ginagawa hanggang ngayon di pa tapos at ang baho padin

#feupfreedomwall #feupfw20 Hello, I am one of the USG volunteers na pa balik-balik, kahit nakakapagod yung work. I've worked with them closely since the very first 25-26 event. I do it because I love serving my community. I honestly have not found a tighter knit community than this school's, despite all the criticism it's been receiving lately. Kaya it saddens me to see that this is all that's left of a once thriving school community. A husk of its former self. So here are the things I've noticed. While working with the USG, one of the main issues I saw them face incessantly is the lack of man power. Nung nakita ko yung post about the person calling USG 8080, it quietly hurt but I do understand their frustrations a little bit. Maybe I'm speaking out of line, but not all USG members are performing their duties. I've seen people holding critical positions not perform their deligated tasks, leaving the other members to compensate. That's also why I don't feel like the comment about USG is justified. I saw those members, the once who were there from start to finish, pull the weight of a hundred moons just to make the event work, all under immense pressure to produce an event that's satisfying to the community, under strict lockdown, with little to no funding and guidance. They've done all they could with what they have. I've also noticed the lack of participation from the students themselves, which is nakakapagtaka. The first few events during the start of the year were incredible. Dun ko talaga na-feel yung closeness ng community. Pero after that, nag dwindle down na. It got me thinking: Why? So much for the tamaraw spirit. I don't think the blame solely lands on the students, a huge part of it is how the school management also embodies their own values (they do not). Like, imagine if the management themselves embodied BEING BRAVE? I have no doubt that the students would follow along. Instead, we have this piece of trash wrapped in gold and green foil, with lukewarm soda on the side, served to us on a disposable paper plate. And THEY expect us to live the school's values? Scratch that, because they don't. Having worked with the USG leaders in various tasks, a lot of the staff do look down on the students. A lot of revisions were made for certain events, simply because the school management thinks they know their students better than the students themselves. "Sa tingin mo kung ganyan yan, may pupunta?" Their favorite talking point. "Sa tingin mo kung ganyang oras tayo magsisimula, may pupunta? Klase pa nga lang nila, late na sila" "Sa tingin mo kung dyan yung venue, maga-attend yung students?" It feels incredibly discouraging to hear that. It's hard to rebut too. There's some essence of truth eh. May nag post kanina, sabi, "...pero minsan naiisip ko mas okay siguro kung wag na lang magparticipate yung students para matauhan yung institution." It hurts to see but I understand. I do not believe in it still. I do believe na if given the sufficient care and grace, if the culture was cultivated properly, and if the students were encouraged instead of doubted, it would make a great difference. To the school's management: get your game together. The students are more than willing, and are on fire. Stop watering them down. Stop discouraging them. To the students of this school: I sincerely hope that you do not lose your passion and your drive to make this place better. Your voices make a difference. Do not stop shouting, do not stop crying for change. Alam ko nakakawalan ng gana, but giving up is not the solution. Ang sabi sakin ni Karl Mallari, "Be the change you want to be." So be it.

#feupfreedomwall #feupfw15 As a new student in FEU Pampanga, ang dami ko nang concerns agad. Una, sobrang kulang sa maintenance—lalo na sa CR. Ang babaho, hindi maayos, at honestly, hindi ka magiging comfortable gamitin. This is a basic necessity, hindi dapat pinapabayaan. Pangalawa, bakit bawal tumambay sa rooms kapag walang class? Papatayin pa yung aircon once nalaman na vacant kayo. Saan ba dapat pumunta ang students during long breaks? Hindi naman lahat may privilege umuwi or gumastos sa labas just to stay somewhere decent. We’re paying almost ₱50k in tuition, tapos ganito lang yung environment na binibigay? Students deserve proper spaces to rest, study, and stay comfortable in between classes. Lastly, tapos na ang academic year pero wala man lang certificate for Dean’s Listers and President’s Listers. Recognition matters. Kahit basic acknowledgment lang, wala? If this continues, don’t be surprised if students start leaving. These aren’t unreasonable demands—these are bare minimum expectations. Do better, FEU Pampanga.

#feupfreedomwall #feupfw14 Why pala basta basta naghahire ng personnels? Yung iba may position pa kahit wala namang license to teach, tapos may iba pa grabe mag power trip. Ang hirap mag-aral sa ganitong environment honestly. Minsan parang hindi rin alam ng ibang prof ginagawa nila kasi pabago-bago yung sinasabi at instructions kahit kakasabi lang nila minutes ago. Tapos sasabihin na sumunod na lang kami kasi may authority sila pero paano kung hindi reliable? Paano kami susunod kung magulo at mas lalo lang dumodoble yung hirap ng students? College isn’t easy already, tapos mas pinapahirap pa dahil sa ganyang sistema. Nakakapagod na rin maging “resilient” all the time. Sobrang adjustment na yung ginagawa ng students to the point na parang unfair na. Isa pa, bakit kapag may events lalo na competitions, minsan yung ginagawang judges eh parang walang enough knowledge doon sa mismong competition? 😭💀 Kaya tuloy maraming nagsasabing luto yung ibang events. Kung sa simpleng bagay pa lang hindi maayos, ano pa aasahan sa bigger events? Alam kong mali siguro isuggest to, pero minsan naiisip ko mas okay siguro kung wag na lang magparticipate yung students para matauhan yung institution. Change starts within us din kasi habang tuloy-tuloy lang na maraming nagtitiis at sunod nang sunod, parang walang mangyayaring pagbabago. Susunod pa rin naman sa rules, pero suggestion lang talaga is maybe focus na lang muna sa studies kaysa ubusin energy sa events na hindi naman natin madadala pagtapos grumaduate.

#feupfreedomwall #feupfw11 I’m a new student dito sa FEUP and honestly, I expected more, especially since dala niyo yung FEU name na hindi naman biro. Pero some offices here, hindi ko na papangalanan pero sobrang hirap lapitan pagdating sa school papers and requirements. Yung iba pa, pagmumukhain kang 8080 kahit sinusunod mo lang naman yung instructions na galing din sa ibang personnel. Teh jusq, mag-usap usap naman kayo, hindi pinaguusapan mga sasabihin or instructions e ano HAHAHA hindi individual performance task ‘to 😭 Kung nakikita tayo ng ibang FEU branches, baka tinatawanan na tayo. Kahit ako natatawa nalang minsan. I’ve been in leadership scenes since preschool, pero never pa ako nakakita ng ganitong broken na management. Kahit reasonable at valid naman explanations mo, parang “majority wins” lagi kahit mali naman. May favoritism din here sa institution. Kaya ever since, hindi na ako umaattend ng events kasi alam ko naman madalas hindi maayos dahil mismo management yung problema. Imbes na tulungan at iencourage yung student body, parang nililimit niyo pa sila. Kaya andaming umaayaw sumali kasi sobrang hassle na. Hindi worth it magparticipate. Every man for themselves na lang tayo. And honestly, wag na kayo magtaka kung kahit may incentives, mas pinipili pa rin ng students na hindi umattend. Kagagawan niyo rin yan. Unti-unti nang nawawalan ng gana sa inyo yung students niyo.

#feupfreedomwall #feupfw10 Alam niyo kung ano ang nakakahiya? Ang kakulangan at kahihiyan ng eskwelahan na pinapasukan natin bitbit din nating estudyante nila. Hindi ka man lang makakaramdam ng pride and honor to represent their school dahil una sa lahat hindi naman nila tayo vinavalue as their students pati rin ang mga faculty. Sabihin na nating “nag-a-adjust” pa ang bagong management but don’t you think over naman na sa palugit? We keep on giving them the benefit of the doubt dahil hindi nga naman madali ang magpatakbo ng paaralan pero sobra naman na. Ayaw nila ang cino-compare sa dating management, and maybe we’re wrong for comparing them but the new management promised us a “much better” management, tapos na ang kadiliman sabi pa nga nila. Na para bang paghihirap at pasakit ang naranasan natin dati. Were not wrong for wanting for a better school. It is our right as your student to want for more. Naalala niyo ba ang lyrics ng hymn natin noon? “A school were everyone is valued and appreciated”, kahit sa paghihirap sa mga academics, may mga bayarin man, hindi namin kailanman naramdaman na kaaway ang mga faculty at managament. Mas ramdam namin na sila bilang magulang na nakikiisa sa paghihirap ng estudyante. Tinuturing nilang kaisa ang mga faculty, teaching or non-teaching staff pa man sila. Lahat may respeto sa isa’t-isa. Walang lamangan. Lumaban at humarap naman ng patas ang management. Wag kayong madaya. Kung may patutunguhan naman ang mga binabayad namin, paliwanag niyo makikinig naman po kami. At pakisamahan niyo naman kami ng maayos. Salamat.
