Prof. Winnie Monsod Last Lecture to Her Class Video – Honor and Excellence

Professor Winnie Monsod may have already been known to many as a very critical media personality asking the most difficult and sensitive of questions in a very straight forward way to very controversial personalities in the Philippines; but she is still best admired by many as a teacher.

Monsod, a former NEDA chief, an economist, wife of former COMELEC Chair Christian Monsod, and an economics professor at the University of the Philippines is well-loved by her students as she always injects fun, humor, patriotism and political commentaries her lectures in economics. But what is very much admirable to this brave lady is her last lecture
delivered to her class.

Professor Monsod’s last lecture to her class in UP was recorded and now circulates online. The video is entitled Honor and Excellence wherein the professor leaves her last thoughts to her students to work hard and help the country and not take the easy way out of working abroad after the Filipino people had relied on them and sent them to school as scholars. At one point of her lecture, Monsod even warned students that whoever works abroad she will haunt from her grave.

First Gentleman Mike Arroyo has launched his coffee table book entitled “My First” at Malacanang Palace.

Some sections of his book was also dedicated to his answer with all the allegations of corruption he was implicated with.



Some lines from his book read,

“Much has been written and said about the controversies that surround First Gentleman Jose Miguel T. Arroyo, a man who has been crucified in the public eye too many times.”

“Being the innately private person that the First Gentleman is, he has learned to roll with the punches at the right moments and deal with unflattering accusations with grace and patience, even choosing oftentimes not to dignify false charges with a reply.

“There’s a time and place for setting the record straight and this book is one of them.”

Another book is entitled “181 Dreams” that shared to different stories of Mike Arroyo’s scholars under the First Gentleman Foundation, Inc.

The Windmill of Philippine Educational System

photo by missioncreep


Celebrations, sad background music from Mr. Lauchengco and cases of booze have already ended and our fresh graduates are now faced by the stinging reality of landing a job that they dreamt of and they deserve. Many are flocking the registrars’ office snaking their way through the empty halls to get their papers, and then some of them will soon battle it out with other fellow graduates to gain the favors of their prospective employers.

But many of them are completing their papers to get their Transcript of Records (TOR) sealed with a red ribbon and immediately fly to work on foreign lands with thoughts behind their minds of a better life.

The exodus of many of our compatriots and most saddening of our fresh graduates in the past recent years is not something remote. Rather this phenomenon that results to the breakdown of our country like termites eating the very foundation of a home comes from a system that we were first forced to live with and now condoned to have; a culture that we now call our own. And the growing numbers of the best and the brightest that we have leaving our country to get what they deserve is only one of the serious problems that this windmill brought us about. And have we taken ourselves on this ride?

My heart is always torn into many shattered pieces whenever students approach me and say, “Kuya, I am going to stop from going to school. My parent cannot afford to pay my tuition anymore.” Or whenever I am faced by words from other people everytime I share about the topic of education for the poor; peppering me with sharp words saying “How can you say that you are for the poor when your tuition fee for a nursing course for one semester is P70,000?” I am not an apologist, and I have no other recourse but to give the affirmative to their opinions.

I came across this table of tuition fees from a financial planning blog, and hope it will give us at least a peek into the windmill of our educational system.



Looking at the table, though it may not be that accurate, we are still seeing a problem that the educational system of our country has espoused for the longest years. With high tuition fees skyrocketing to amounts unimaginable to millions of Filipino youth, having a good education is now mostly nothing but a daydream if not a nightmare.

Imagine this scenario: One of our students takes up a nursing course that she has to complete for four years (and now the Commission on Higher Education wants to extend it to a 5-year course). Every semester she pays P70,000 for her tuition fee of which when she reaches her 3rd year and 4th year, her tuition fee dramatically increases to P80,000 per semester! These numbers of course excludes all the miscellaneous fees and other expenses the she has to incur during her studies. If I may compute, one of our student is going to pay approximately a staggering P600,000 as tuition fees alone for her four-year nursing course. I could have already sold all my kidney and internal organs to foreigners but could not yet have this amount to send a child to school for a nursing course. Maybe selling some illegal drugs would do? Hmmm…

This scenario which is not far from reality breeds the following problems and issues in our educational system which should have been aiming to educate our young for nation-building.

1. Because we only want to give quality education as a lasting gift that no could steal from our children, we are forced to send them to these expensive (and almost always Catholic schools) which let us all admit are really the best that we have in the country. And since the government is only giving priority to kickbacks and commissions on government projects, our educational system has been left on the hands of the giant schools and built and culture of “elitist educational system”.

Suffice it to say that this has widen the gap between the reach and the poor; with the poor looking up and rich staring down to the millions of people who are living at the fringe of the loot.

2. This elitist educational system which certainly is a spring of so many prevalent issues in the country that has forgotten to build its own nation leads to an elitist system of job seeking and giving. Many may argue but so many companies mostly if not, only accept graduates from our local Ivy League schools. They are those who work from cubicles and board rooms and those graduates from some unknown school located in a far-flung barrio infested by NPAs end up doing the dirty work. This may not be the general rule in the workplace but it is the prevalent system that the lowly has to endure.

3. The exodus of our young talented and skilled people is mostly also results from this system of education that we have come to embrace. Let me go back to the scenario I presented above. After graduation, that student of mine after passing the board exam went on the work for two years in a private hospital here in the province in order to gain experience and go abroad. Her monthly salary is a meager P10,000 as a nurse! And this will still shrink down after all taxes and other payments are to be deducted from her pay. And for sure, it is always a melodramatic moment whenever she takes a peek at her pay slip; that if she even tries to take a peek at it.

After she spent more than half a million pesos for her education to become a nurse, after her parents sold some of their farm lands and livestock, and barrowed money from some 5/6 men on scooter, this is the salary that she only has to receive. Common sense and our innate disposition will naturally drive us for the best and just that we deserve. And there is nothing else than going abroad for which my Aunt who is a nurse in the UK receives £1,800 every month!

Education so they say is an investment, and investors are clever, not lunatic or chimps, to put on the table hot cash and leave the room empty handed; at least they need to get even. Parents toil their hearts out to send their children to school not to indulge from the labors of their children when they already have their own jobs but to make sure that their children will live the good life, far much better than what their parents endured.

4. Sad to say, I could see that this system of education that we have, because of the sheer incompetence of our government is something that we have come to embrace and espoused as ours. It has become a culture that is eating up the very fiber of our nation economically, morally and intellectually. The effect maybe is not as scary at the present but the continuous silence and denial of the government that is primarily tasked to pursue the equal good for both the rich and poor, will lead us to a day of reckoning of the things that we permitted to happen and the things we have come to accept and our excuse of helplessness or disenchantment would not suffice.

We will be slaves of our own making only until the day that we force a systemic change that should start from the way we teach our youth. The great Jose Rizal was totally right saying that the youth is the future of the motherland. And without the conscious effort to bridge the gap between the rich and poor that starts from our schools, playpens, churches, governments and homes, we will continue to called a nation of servants, with our brightest ending up as domestic helpers; something that they don’t deserve, a name that we don’t deserve, but contains morsels of truth in it.

We deserve something more, better, just nobler.

You may or may not agree with me, but this is just some of my ramblings while chirping tweet, tweet, tweet on my sleep.

Welcome me back in the Blogsphere

I have been out of the blogsphere for more or less two weeks. And those two weeks were really very excruciating, full of tension and tiring. Here are some facts that had happened to me on those weeks that I forcibly shut down the blogging side of me.

1. I presented my thesis proposal to my methods of research teacher and an invited professor and to the whole class. I had a grilling from them though my topic is already great. The bottomline is: They wanted me to contextualize my research on househusbands ( I will be using a qualitative-phenemenological approach) into a more Filipino-based psychology and indentity.

2. The abovementioned recommendation gave lots of headaches for weeks. Its simple cause: research, research and more research! I made revisions on my frameworks and related literature (and I think revision on the whole process, goal and skeleton of my research). Filipinizing it (if there is such a word) was really nerve-wrecking. Burning midnight candles, reading and writing, preoccpied me on weeks that I was just a ghost on own my blog.

3. I studied and prepared on my take home Final Examinations for my Advance Statistics class. Though it was just a cognate, our teacher taught us and treated us like students who dream to be statisticians or some sort of little John Nashs.

4. I completed my revision though there are still some things that I wanted to add on my research proposal for my master's degree. Submitted just on time. Got 3.75 with that...not bad. hmmmm

5. I celebrated my birthday (last March 26) submitting my revised proposal and not fully conscious brought about by sleepless nights and the toll that reading and researching had caused on my brain. Any gifts for me?????

6. Took care of the arrangements for our Graduate School of Education Student Council mid-year workshop. I did all the reservations of venues and vehicles, food and the filling up of forms. All our reservations were checked my the accounting department of the university and everything I did ended up in the trash bin. Graduate School of Education Student Council Budget: -30,000 pesos! ouch!

7. And now and the coming weeks, I am preparing for my comprehensive exams. Goodluck to me!

In Fairness to the Policemen But...

I think the policemen who blocked, stopped and intimidated us should not be the only people to blame about the incident on which our basic right to freely assemble and travel without any harassment were infringed.

On one instance in the encounter in Molino Road where we were stopped for almost an hour, one young police officer named Ramos was a graduate of our institution Batch '94. He quipped as we negotiate with them in a low voice: "Pasensya na po talaga mam, wala po akong magawa kasi utos sa taas eh." (I apologize, I am just obeying orders from superiors)

One of senior policemen in Aguinaldo Hi-way said this as we were let go of our way after more than 20 minutes: "Pakisabi pasensya na lang po kay Dean Esmilla" (Please express my apologies to Dean Esmilla). Dean Esmilla is the former dean of our College of Law Enforcement and Public Safety.


Going back to these words and most especially the faces of these policemen as they uttered words of I may say despair and hopelessness (for they cannot do anything but abide the so-called chain of command), I feel sorry for them. What has become of them? They are very far from the people that we have formed in school with Christian values.

Most of the policemen of Cavite police force are either graduates of our university or scholars thru our program for law enforcers of Cavite. Some of these people even join our faculty members in the firing range for practice shooting. What has become of them? Until now, my heart still languishes this painful fact of existence.

Unfortunately, they cannot do anything they say. Chain of command, utos sa taas, wala po tayong magagawa. They have mouths to feed, they have children to send to school and have dreams to weave for their families. They know that what they are doing is basically against the bill of rights and unconstitutional but the chain of command tells them to disregard these things or else, they will be court martialed or face administrative charges and languish in jail far from their family and far from the life of comfort.

In fairness to the policemen, they did their job well. They fulfilled the order of the people on top of them. However, it does not mean that what they did was right and good. They are not totally spared.

As we were facing these policemen and trying to negotiate, we were also telling ourselves that they are just following orders. What a shame on the occupants of Malacanang and Crame are doing and teaching their subordinates. This is the very opposite of what is being taught here in our school to our future policemen. Being a teacher has never become more frustrating and more difficult than today teaching young men and woman, in this case soon-to-be law enforcers of upholding and always fight for the sanctity of human rights and freedom of the citizens rich and poor alike. It's as if everything that educators have labored in the classrooms for years are now in vain. Every corrective measures that teachers do whenever a student cheat, or hit a classmate, or utter fowl words in class, or being unbecoming in lectures, or being unprepared during reports, submitting plagiarized papers and being late, absent and irresponsible in class are now slowly being thrown in the trashbin by senior officials of the police force, senior officials of the military, the president and her family, cabinet members, senators and congressmen and sadly even barangay captains and kagawads. They are now indoctrinizing the people and presented the syllabus of violence, greed, dishonesty and indescency.

I pray that one day it will never dawn on us that our sons or daughters working in the government will steal from us, or abduct us, or abuse us or kill us and will reason out in somber words...wala po akong magawa ma, pa, utos sa tass. (I can't do anything mom, dad, orders by superiors)

Studies Taking its Toll on Me!

Been so busy lately. Sometimes I don't even know where or how to start so that everything will be accomplished. In short, I am losing my focus. Just get so overwhelmed with so many tasks both at work and in school.

My requirement in the graduate school to submit a thesis proposal puts alot of pressure unto my head! My proposal which will utilize a qualitative-phenomenological approach on the lived experience of househusbands pumpz up adrenalin unto me. I am undeniably excited. However, limited books, studies and references here in our university library makes this endeavor more difficult.

Aside from that, I will be taking my comprehensive exam in the graduate school four weeks from now and I have not yet even browse a single page for review!

Ahhhh!
