Bucks-Office
February 13, 2006 Just recently, our school celebrated an important school activiy. It is the most controversial one I’ve ever witnessed in my two years stay in a 4-year institution. The failure to showcase various surpises and happy celebration point the finger to College Student Council (CSC) during the speech of a highest-rank-person in the opening ceremony. There are cancellations done like the search for Mr. and Ms. CdK, torch parade and literary-musical contests. Lots of students want to have those activities that can gain interest and amusements but fail to do so because of the said cancellatios. The CSC cannot provide prizes (kuno) to be given away for the winners. Hmp, money makes the world go round. Can we have grand celebration witout spending too much money? I overheard also that the institution doesnt do their part and contribute for the said celebration.
In contrary with the speech, it is unfair and injustice to point the finger of failure to one party alone because the success of an activity is not alone credited to the ones who thought of having the activity and woked for its conduct. The failure can be traced back to all- the presidents, the organization, the students… When there is disparity, it can never be just because the president is not doing his job or just because in the issue of lack-of-funds. It’s because the supposed vanguards of transparent governnce are not doing their share in the obligation to endure- to watch each others back.
The celebration did not end with gret smiles on the faces of everyone, yet, it was celebrated with altruism (sana alam to ng iba). Two pulic services offered during the two-days celebration like the Feeding Program last friday morning for less fortunate children in the City. Free medical and Dental check-up was also conducted. Sad to say, some students don’t care at all being part with these activities. Bless be their poor souls. They just go to school for check-in and check-out to avoid an extra amount (penalty) of 100 bucks duing clearance…
