A True-Blooded PUPian
By: Sonny M. Versoza
The Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP), in its genuine essence, aims to provide the country with the best professionals in different fields and specializations with the state’s assistance through lower education cost. In this view, its students are expected to possess a mixture of exceptional wit and brilliance with the resourcefulness and hardwork that cannot be found to other students.
Just inside the College of Communication (COC) campus, a simple girl has what it takes to be a “real PUPian”. Maricar Dizon or ‘Macah’ as what her friends and classmates usually call her, is a 3rd year Broadcast Communication student. She just turned 18 last April 4. Macah is the second child of Arturo and Fe Dizon, next to Aristotle, and elder to Hector. The name ‘Maricar’ was given by her brother Aristotle before the latter died and this name serves as a beautiful yet indelible memory of Macah’s brother to her.
When asked about her hobbies, she immediately mentioned about reading books, which I can say is currently a rare hobby of the youth. She even added writing literary pieces, watching drama and action movies, and listening to slow rock music. Her interest is movies, just exactly the same with the most Broadcast Communication students in her environ.
Macah’s dream in life is to write a book in the near future – a unique vision only found among the students who are ready to share their experiences and influence other people. She wants the book to be an inspirational novel that will show reality of life in a positive way.
PUP was Macah’s chosen university for a common reason - its affordable and her score did not make it to the University of the Philippines. But this fate brought her to the infamous Pylon of Sta. Mesa, Manila.
The Broadcast Communication course is not her first choice. She was planning to take up Journalism. But she realized she wanted to try something new since she used to be a student journalist in her elementary school. It was a nice thing to hear from a simple girl who wanted to do something different from her usual field. She’s one of the brave students dared to explore herself and moved out of her comfort zone.
Macah views PUP as a “small Philippines”. She believes that the university is composed of thousands of students from different parts of the country, influencing one another with traditions, culture and religion. Due to the university’s popularity nationwide and its mission to alleviate the country from its immediate problems, PUP holds a great number of scholars aspiring to attain their own dreams for themselves and for the country. This proves her belief and she dares to influence and to be influenced.
Her most unforgettable experience in college is the COC’s General Assembly when she was in first year. She was too excited to meet her new schoolmates and her new college that she was expecting to be a lot different from her high school. She also added that she even attended a concert in the university because of her excitement to get to know her new university more.
She also considers that having organization is one of her achievements in college. Her organization brings her more closely to the COC, which she believes is a very competitive college, unlike any other student. She also treasures the experience she is acquiring while in the college that’s why she is expecting to experience more productions among her subjects. This, in her firm belief, would improve her craft which is broadcast production.
Macah is one of the thousands of inspiring students that the PUP has. On her point of view, the university has succeeded in transforming her into a great citizen who would reciprocate all her skills and patriotism to the nation in the near future.
