Mikael Anjo Canlas is a 3rd year Broadcast Communication student from Polytechnic University of the Philippines. He thinks that being one of the “Iskolar ng Bayan” is one of the greatest gift he’d ever had when he chose PUP. It gave comfort to his mother financially.
Indeed all PUP students are grateful that they receive quality education at a low cost. For some being a PUP student is an achievement that they have to cherish in their lives. However, being a PUP student entails a lot of responsibility. When asked what others thought about you as a PUP student, he simply said “Usually people think that when you’re a PUPian, you’re brainy and all and for some being a PUPian, you’re one of the lowest and poorest people here on earth.
When I asked him what you can say about PUPians being compared to UPians, he just happily answered that it’s flattering. He said that every school has its own uniqueness. Mikael didn’t think that studying in PUP is hard. He just thinks that all the obstacles he is facing are part of being a college student. He said that those challenges molds him maybe not the best but a better person than he was before.
Some people say that PUP is the home of the activist. But for Mikael he just thinks that the students here are “too” intelligent to handle. When I asked him if he would be the President of PUP, what will he do to promote the university? He just said “I don’t have to do anything to promote the university. It’s a form of showing off. I’ll just concentrate on the other problems, I will make the students live up to the name “Iskolar ng Bayan” wherein they don’t have to pay anything.
