Mariel Ratani Balitao's Profile





by Ronald James Payos




With the deteriorating economic status of the Philippines resulting to increase in prices of prime commodities; it is very difficult nowadays to live a decent life.

However, many people are still seeing hopes and keeping it alive through education. Many couples with their children and the old alike still strive to finish schooling.

So studying in the Polytechnic University of the Philippines – the university on the Philippines with the lowest tuition fee rate, is not only a privilege but an edge as well as it gives its students high-quality education with just a small amount of money.

Subsidized by the government, fortunate students who passed the entrance tests only pay as low as P300 for their tuition fee and still assured of good education.

I had the chance to interview a PUP – College of Communication student in the name of Ms. Mariel Ratani C. Balitao, 17 years of age, Bachelor in Broadcast Communication, section III-1D to share her views of being a privileged “Iskolar ng Bayan.”

I believe that good affiliations bring good learnings. When asked if she is affiliated with any organization on the university she said, “I am a member of the CoC Powerhouse – The Official Debate Society of College of Communication.”

With regards to the issue of low budget leading to poor facilities and structures, she commented, “Though the facilities and structures here are not so modernized, I still prefer so study here. I believe it’s not on the facilities and structures, it’s on the students eagerness to learn.”

“The staffs and personnel are very accommodating. They are doing their best to help the students the way they can.”, she added to describe the staffs and personnel of PUP.

And if asked if PUP is conducive to her over-all learning as a college student, she stated, “It is conducive to my learning as a college student because it teaches me the lessons that I have to learn based on the academics plus it also gives mew a clear picture on the reality and practicality of life.”

And lastly, her message to her fellow “Iskolar ng Bayan”, “Seize the day! Enjoy every moment you have in your college so when you look back, you’ll have no regrets. Enjoy learning!”
