PUP Sta. Mesa Freedom Wall

#PUPStaMesaFreedomWall9203 Me and my family were at Cityland tagaytay prime residences to celebrate my step father and mother's 5th anniversary. Me and my boyfriend were so ecstatic to try on our matching tshirt and I suggested na we wear our id laces para iflex na I got a PWU boyfriend and he got a PUPian boyfriend. We only wore our IDs when we were already at the rooftop for our cute photoshoot, it was fun and romantic. Until when we got to the elevators we met a group of teens (probably in college) na looked at the both of us holding hands when we got to the elevators. Suddenly their fun chitchat about having fun at the condo was cut short when one of them said na: alam mo nakakabwisit talaga yung mga taga up na nag susuot ng id laces kahit saan noh? Like basta ma brag lang nila kung sino sila, we get it na nakapasa kayo sa up. (These were not their exact words pero these are the statements I remembered.) They were talking so loudly na buong floor nakakarinig sakanila kahit ung mga hindi nila kilala were looking at them tapos biglang tititigan ako. For context po nakalimutan lng namin ng bf ko na tanggalin yung id namin kase nag mamadali kami gawa ng time na para mag check out sa condo. Hindi sila tumigil na pag usapan yun even though na tinanggal na agad namin ung id namin as soon as narinig namin ung UP. Nakakasad lng na what was supposed to be a fun day for us celebrating a milestone was disrupted by the people who should've minded their own business. Sadly hindi ko narecord kase ang haba talaga ng time na pinag uusapan nila yun and tinatalkshit ung mga nag susuot ng id laces. Pinipigilan ko ung sarili ko na umiyak and mag fight back. Please guys being kind is free po. Hindi po up logo ung pin sa id ko pup po yun😵‍💫 Submitted: September 27, 2026 8:38:49 AM UTC

#PUPStaMesaFreedomWall9202 #PUPStaMesaFreedomWall9107 𝙈𝙖𝙝𝙞𝙧𝙖𝙥 𝙢𝙖 𝙗𝙖 𝙢𝙖𝙜 𝙢𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙡 𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙠𝙩𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖? Oo sobrang hirap dahil hindi lang ikaw ang mamahalin nya, kasama ang masa. Matagal na noong naging kami ng jowa kong aktibista, hindi naman sya aktibista noong bago palang kami, ngayong college lang sya naging malaya iexpress ang kaniyang sarili. Noong una lagi ako nag tatampo kase bakit lagi na lang nya inuuna sumama sa mga protesta wala na tuloy kaming time para sa isat isa, at sobrang nasasaktan ako tuwing hindi ko sya kasama kase lagi sya nandoon sa kalye ng Mendiola nakikibaka, ipinag lalaban ang karapatan ng tao. Minsan iniisip ko na sana hindi nalang nya naisipan na mag aral sa paaralang ito, sana nag stay nalang kami sa maliit naming mundo. Pero ang katotohanan kahit hindi sya mag aral sa paaralang ito mabubuhay at mabubuhay parin ang aktibista nyang kaluluwa, mamumulat parin ang kaniyang mga mata at makikibaka parin sya sa mga kalye ng Mendiola. Hindi ko alam noon kung requirements ba sa pagiging aktibista ang mag karoon ng madaming piercing sa katawan. Hindi ko gusto ang piercing at ayaw ko ito sa aking katawan pero noong nakita ko yung jowa na may piercing sa ilong nya, syempre na dismaya ako kase bakit nya bababuyin yung katawan nya nang ganun-ganun nalang? Pero nakita ko ang kanyang mga ngiti at sobrang saya nya I flex ang bago nyang septum sakin nalusaw ang puso ko. Bata palang ako tinuruan na ako ng mga magulang ko na gawin ko raw lahat ng bagay na gusto kong gawin, as long as wala akong taong tinatapakan at mapapasaya ako nito. Sino ba naman ako para pag bawalan sya? Wala naman syang sinasaktang tao masaya sya at masaya rin ako na na express na nya ang kaniyang sarili. Minsan iniisip ko na ang dami-daming tao sa mundo bakit sya pa ang naging jowa ko? Bakit out of all the 8 Billion people in the world aktibista pa ang jowa ko? at bakit ako pa talaga? kase lagi ako nag aalala sakanya tuwing nasa protesta sya hindi ko alam kung baka nahuli na ba sya ng pulis o baka nasa kulungan na sya at hindi ko alam. Kase ano naman gagawin ko kapag nahuli sya eh bulok ang sistema. Pero naalala ko na isa sya sa pinaka malakas na taong nakilala ko sa buong buhay ko aside sa aking nanay, at bakit naman sya huhulihin ng pulis? E wala naman syang ginagawang mali, isa pa rito may tiwala ako sa mga taong kasama nya na po-protektahan nila ang isat isa. So bakit kayilangan ko mag aalala? kaya sasagutin ko ang katanungan: Mahirap ba mag mahal ng aktibista? -Oo, pero katulad na lamang ng ibang relasyon, mahirap ito. Wala namang pinag iba sa ibang relasyon, iba lang ang paraan ng pag mamahal dahil kasama ang masa at ako ang masa at sya ang masa. Mahal na mahal na mahal ko ang aking aktibistang jowa at para sya sa masa. ps: Sana makita nya 'to at basahin nya lahat, kase alam ko mahilig yun mag basa. Sincerely yours: Walang🐘 Submitted: September 27, 2026 8:32:00 AM UTC

#PUPStaMesaFreedomWall9201 Ako lang ba naiinis sa mga taong di sanay sa mabibigat at mano manong trabaho? Like if wala kang valid excuse to not be able to do it, the you're probably a lazy or out touch na burgis na sobrang kinis ng mga palad at kamay. Submitted: September 26, 2026 12:39:35 AM UTC

#PUPStaMesaFreedomWall9200 I have been holding onto these feelings until now and I want to let them out so I will have no regrets. I am from the former CAF and now part of the COA Department and I also served in the CAFSC for the 2025 to 2026 term. I have a crush on a certain Kuya from the same Student Council I am in and he is from Financial Management just like our executives. Whenever there was an event I always hoped we would be assigned to the same committee but that never happened. On regular days whenever I saw him I secretly hoped he would greet me. It felt like he did not recognize me though and it saddened me every time it happened. Now our term is nearing its end and I know we likely will not cross paths at events anymore especially since he is from FM which now falls under CBA and I am from COA. Surely he will always be at the condotel from now on. The saddest part of all is that my last two hopes to catch even a glimpse of him were at Cafreshie and the Gawad but both events have been postponed. Those were the very last chances I had just to see him and now even those moments are gone. I still find myself wanting to feel his presence but I have never dared to confess because I am afraid of being rejected. I even overheard some of our executives talking with him and saying he is not into relationships right now. And if ever you are reading this Kuya I fell for you the day we were busy preparing for an event with so many things to finish. You came over to me and asked if I needed help. I also always noticed how you help everyone in the Council who needs it. I fell for your kindness and for how you always make sure no one around you feels left out. Thank you for being you. Okay, I got to see him and talk to him in GAWAD!! He is so handsome and clean looking yesterday hshaahshsh #GawadKontadurya2026 Submitted: September 25, 2026 12:35:39 PM UTC

#PUPStaMesaFreedomWall9196 Is it really a failure if you graduate without a Latin honor/laude? As someone who has always been an achiever, ang hirap hindi isipin na parang failure kapag hindi ka nakapag-graduate with honors. Especially when you’re used to being at the top.

#PUPStaMesaFreedomWall9195 Hello po admin please keep my identity anonymous. I just want to rant about something that has been really frustrating for us students. I know some of my campus mates will probably know who I’m referring to kahit hindi na ako mag-drop ng name. So eto na nga. Nakakafrustrate lang on our part as students na hanggang ngayon, kailangan pa rin naming paulit-ulit na manghingi ng update regarding our grades. Matagal na naming natapos itong subject, pero hanggang ngayon, ‘P’ pa rin ang nakalagay sa grades namin. Wala pa rin kaming numerical grades hanggang ngayon. We have already reached out several times through chats and emails, asking for updates and hoping na kahit simpleng progress or timeline man lang ay mabigyan kami. Pero unfortunately, hanggang ngayon, wala pa rin kaming malinaw na update. And this is not just about wanting to see our grades. May actual consequences na siya sa students. May mga students na hindi naging qualified for Outstanding Student Awards dahil wala silang numerical grade. May mga students din na nahihirapang mag-apply or nag-aalangan mag-submit ng scholarship requirements dahil baka hindi tanggapin without the required grades. Hindi naman kami nagkulang sa pag-follow up. We have been patient, we have tried to communicate properly, and we have given enough time for this concern to be addressed. What makes it even more frustrating is when we found out na nagkaroon ulit ng opportunity from the main campus for professors who were unable to encode their grades, meaning may chance na sana para maayos na itong pending grades namin. Pero despite that opportunity, hindi pa rin na-encode ang grades namin. At this point, honestly, nakakapagod na rin. We shouldn't have to constantly chase and plead just to get our own grades. We understand that professors have their own responsibilities and circumstances, pero sana maintindihan din na may responsibilities and opportunities din kaming students na nakasalalay sa grades namin. Hindi naman kami humihingi ng special treatment. We are simply asking for the grades that we have been waiting for since our 2nd year. If there is a reason for the delay, sana naman magkaroon ng proper communication and transparency para alam din namin kung ano ang status and what we should expect. Sana naman po ay mabigyan na ito ng aksyon. Please remember that behind these pending grades are students who are also trying to graduate, apply for scholarships, qualify for awards, and move forward with their academic requirements. We have waited long enough. Sana hindi naman kailangan pang umabot sa point na parang namamalimos na kami para lang makakuha ng update tungkol sa sarili naming grades.
