Beware of the False prophet

It is funny to note that some people would exclaim that they have been championing the students’ cause since their stint as students. The reason why we are called student-leaders is because we are students first. If one cannot comply with the demands of the academic load, one has no right to engage in co/extra curricular activities. Formation and education goes hand in hand and whether you like it or not, you cannot have everything you want/aspire. You cannot be enroled in UST and just do what you do best – politicking! You preach about corruption and other wrong doings when in fact you failed to look at yourself! Being a student-leader or engaging oneself in students’cause/ activities, as the reason for one’s academic deficiency is not only a lame excuse but is also a scape goat for some.

Dwelling in past issues which were cleared by the proper authorities already is stupid. There is a system in place and we all have to respect that. If it does not go your way, do not be bitter and act as if an injustice was done to you. It simply does not mean that if the system is not favorable to you, the system is already wrong or what have you. It is a typical attitude of ‘cro-magnons’ to cry over spilled milk. Also, a writer/journalist should have a strong/firm basis before writing about something. If one wishes to proceed with false allegations/ideas he may do so as a matter of right but he loses his credibility. – Dapat nagshowbiz writer na lang!

Kudos to the creativity in packaging oneself as a students rights advocate! It is a good strategy to earn votes come 2010 as a Representative or Board member perhaps. The style is very traditional though! Ano na ba ang natapos mo ng maayos? The last time I checked, you left the group hanging at the middle of the peak season when you resigned. Is that your style of leadership? Or a Champ in the quitting game? Chickened out? Definitely, with his sweet tongue and passion for the pen, he could make a thousand reasons why he did it. I just thought that commitment is important! In addition, what unfortunate event will be your next lame excuse or alibi for your expected academic deficiency? Once in HS, Twice in College? Hmm… Probably, majority of the parents would say, MAG-ARAL KA MUNA at huwag MANGARAL SA IBA! I cannot agree more when someone suggested to look at one’s backyard. I suggest you do the same. Look at yourself. You are not getting any younger and your batch is about to graduate. Do not live to make excuses. Before making assumptions/allegations = OBSERVE, JUDGE, ACT! Think again! or should I say, STUDY AGAIN? hehehe.. Probably, if you are major in Politicking you will graduate BATCH VALEDICTORIAN – Summa Cum Laude.

At the end of the day, who is fooling who? We cannot give what we do not have. How can you help others if you cannot help yourself. Are we just going to appeal to sympathy? or make hasty assumptions/ reasons for one’s shortcomings/ academic deficiency? Ulitin ko lang, kaya Student-leader ang tawag kasi tayo ay student muna bago maging leader. In lay man’s term, MAG-ARAL KA MUNA at huwag MANGARAL SA IBA! To everyone out there, BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS… Let us not join their ignorance and overwhelming style of appeal to sympathy. Beware of this kind of people for they will mislead and take advantage of you. Huwag magpadala! Utot lang sila.. maamoy mo sa una, ngunit mawawala din! Little information is dangerous! There is no shortcut to education. Experience will help you at a certain extent.

KAYA ARAL KA MUNA!
