TAKING WHAT LEAD? Part 1 (Long Post) Nahuli Ka? Bakit?
TAKING WHAT LEAD? Part 1 (Long Post) Nahuli Ka? Bakit?
Well, I dont buy the idea of being obligated to know something regardless if its
reminded to you or not. Why? Because we pay a hell lot of cash to the University
and we deserve every right to be FULLY INFORMED (by all means) about the
POSSIBLE SANCTIONS that we may get. Nobody likes having a violation record of
some sort. People, especially YOUNGADULTS like us need VISUAL
REPRESENTATION of the existing Law. The way I see it, there is a lack of publicity
management from the administration side. They should feel more morally
obligated to prevent students from committing violations.
Now, IF YOU DONT KNOW THAT THE STUDENT AFFAIRS OFFICE WAS NOT ABLE
TO PROVIDE A
STUDENT HANDBOOK (a book containing the Dos and DONTs of the school),
THEN YOU WOULD ALWAYS BELIEVE THE GUARDS WHEN THEY SAY, Bakit hindi
mo alam? Nasa Handbook yon
Also, IF YOU DONT KNOW THAT THE EXACT PHRASING OF NOT HIGHER THAN
2 INCHES ABOVE
THE KNEE DOES NOT EXIST IN NEITHER THE POSTER OUTSIDE GATE 2 OR IN
THE INVISIBLE HANDBOOK, then youre screwed.
So what? Well, the statements above basically mean that A LOT OF STUDENTS
are merely getting violations for things that are not written nor posted anywhere.

Alright, I like wearing shorts. Seriously, I do. I like wearing it because its comfy
and allows my hairy legs to breathe properly. Im tired of tight jeans and slacks.
Id wear them in proper occasions. But in a daily school setting, I wish the school
opens its eyes and realize that NOT ALLOWING MALE STUDENTS TO WEAR
SHORTS is as stupid as not allowing students to have their own desired hairstyle.
WE HAVE TO LOOK PROFESSIONAL, SHORTS SHOW OFF YOUR HAIRY LEGS AND
YOU LOOK LIKE
GIGOLOS. No we dont. We go to school to study, to learn, and to obtain
knowledge (not JUST GRADES, well get to that). And there is no actual
correlation of shorts worn to acting unprofessional. The rule itself is
unprofessional and illogical. It has no direct bearing to our LEARNING and OUR
EDUCATION.
Take a look at the top business schools. Look at Ateneo, UP, and La Salle. Do the
students there WHO ARE ALLOWED TO WEAR SHORTS END UP BEING
UNPROFESSIONAL HOBOS? Last time I checked, they actually go on with life
pretty darn well. Way better than most of us.
I do not believe that our legs (*guys say* Awoo! Awoo!) would serve as a sexual
distraction to the female populace. I dont think they would represent the school
in a very bad way.
Okay, so what am I fighting for? Liberty. Free my damn hairy legs because its
hot here in the Philippines! And besides, we pay 5080K for super HIGH QUALITY
AIRCONDITION that allows us to use our sweat glands every now and then.
Uhm I intended sarcasm there.
