Den Relojo, a 25-year old psychology graduate from New Era University, says we don’t deserve to be called “Iskolar ng Bayan” because we pay more for UP education than the students his school. Den writes:
UP students are not supposed to be called “Iskolar ng Bayan” (Scholar of the Nation). They are “paying scholars”. If you are paying more or less PHP 21, 000, would you really feel that you are indeed a “Iskolar ng Bayan”? Upon enrollment, UP students get in line to pay for their tuition holding wads of cash roughly four times thicker than those from New Era University would pay for. I am sure that we don’t need figures, charts, and statistics to prove the veracity of my claim.
What do you think?
