So what’s with PUP?
PUP in the mind of a certified student
by Allison Anne G. Atis
“The aim of education is, as should be, to teach people to educate themselves.” I read this line in one of the books that I have. After going through this statement, I realized some things; things that render the importance of an effective school and how it hones a person from an ordinary student to a productive and well-equipped citizen.
Ruelito B. Aristo is a Bachelor in Broadcast Communication student from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. “Third Year na sa wakas, nasurvive naman yung campaign.” He was reminiscent of the happenings from the past that reminded him of the hardships and trials that they had to go through in order to reach the top with flying colors. When asked what his first impression of PUP is, he answered that he didn’t really have any idea of what PUP is, not until he finally became a student of the university. “Astig ang PUP” according to him because he would see the university being featured by different media companies and so on.
The existence of PUP had been very beneficial to those people who wanted to study but has little amount of money to suffice their schooling. The low tuition fee rates made Ruelito become aware of the university; together with the recommendations from his friends, schoolmates and other alumni. This also became a way for him to describe PUP and then stated that this is the distinction of PUP among any other university. My attention was easily tapped when he told me about the other fees that should be paid by the students. Nowadays, there are additional fees that the students must pay in order to be declared “enrolled” in the university. These fees somehow moved the stereotype of PUP being the most affordable school in the country but nonetheless, Ruelito still believed that the low tuition fee rate is still the trademark of PUP, with the statement “pababaan ng tuition, pataasan ng utak”.
Ruelito eagerly shared that “these past few days, several issues and mostly bad publicity continue to surround the university but behind these, I know that there is still some academic excellence that the university must be proud of.” He enthusiastically added the information about the PUP College of Communication being the first communication college in the Philippines to pass the Level lll Accreditation and this statement supported his decision to stay even if given the chance to transfer to any other school. Now that is really something to be proud of!
Anyone can comment about the real-life happenings around the campus but a certified student of the university would still have the authority to prove them all. Ruelito’s testimonial proved that the Polytechnic University of the Philippines is an institution that hones the students in a way that they would realize that you don’t only learn about relevant things when you are inside the four corners of the classroom but you learn through every aspect in your life. The university may not be as extravagant as any other existing schools of such description but it is closest to both bitter and sweet truths in all walks of life, and that is what’s essential.
