Unity in the De La Salle University System?

[basho]

The De La Salle University System is a multi-academic institution comprised of the De La Salle University Manila campus, the DLSU Dasmarinas campus, the DLSU health sciences campus, the DLSU College of Saint Benilde and the De La Salle Santiago Zobel School. While all these schools are supposedly autonomous by nature, they share a common thread in that they all belong to one system. So why is it that I feel the unity of this system is cracked?

In light of this, I would like to share as an example the University of the Philippines System. UP’s system, like De La Salle’s, has autonomous colleges such as the UP at Los Banos and UP at Baguio. Unlike De La Salle, students from one UP campus feel right at home with a student from another campus. They take only one entrance examination for admission to all campuses and a person from UP is a person from UP, whether they graduated from Diliman, Los Banos, etc.

In De La Salle, prejudices and stereotypes can be found within each campus. As a Lasallian student at the main campus, there is a notion that the College of Saint Benilde is a school wherein most kick-outs from the main campus are kicked to. In my opinion, this way of thinking will only deteriorate the system instead of helping it achieve its goal of becoming a world-class institution.

All belonging to the system are Lasallians, not taga-main or taga-dasma or taga-Benilde. And I believe that by thinking for themselves and not as a whole, each college in the system is doomed.

[_Mase_]

Right on.

[goonie]

i agree with u, basho. i've succumbed to the same prejudices myself.

thank you for the wake-up call. we need more people like you.

Thanks guys :)

[crispypata]

Well, our administrators kasi ang dapat sisihin about the Benilde thing.

Actually, it was Bro. Andrew himself that said, BENILDE was founded for those students, whose "intelligence" cannot be measured by Entrance exams. That is why, primarily, ang mga courses sa Benilde ay for the Creative people. Theater Arts, HRM, Industrial Design, jewelry crafting.

Siguro namali lang anag mga tao, dahil hindi nila alam ang concept ng 7 DOMAINS OF INTELLIGENCE.

Dagdag sa mga administrators, meron ngang isang mataas na brother ang umamin na Benilde was started beacuse of Bsuiness purposes rin. Yung maalis sa Main malaking pera yan. kaya yung mga lumilipat sa Benilde at least nasa loob pa rin ang pasok ng pera sa atin.

Sad but true.

Siguro let us start na lang to be kind to each other para walang labanan. Ika nga ng phrase: UNITY IN DIVERSITY, SYNERGY!

Animo La Salle!

[the_13th^apostle]

i so much agree!Pero we shouldn't rely or blame the administrators ...I think we(the students) should start doing something about it ourselves..alam mo yun?!?It's not nice to hear someone from taft saying pang bobo ang benilde..gets!?We should support one another. Also,maybe the SC officers of each member school should meet and come up with something...

ANIMO LA SALLE!!!

[erman]

TRIVIA:

alam niyo na ba na main na rin ang tawag sa benilde?

DLSU-CSB-MAIN
DLSU-CSB-AKC (Angelo King Center)

[erman]

about being main...
wala naman talagang dlsu-main...
pagkaka-alam ko dlsu-taft ang correct name...
10 years old na ang benilde by the way...
as far as i know fully autonomous na from dlsu-taft...
rotc na lang and library ang shared...
own yearbook (since 99), own gym, own ncaa team...
batang-bata pa compared to the 90-year old university...
animo la salle!!! animo benilde!!!

[erman]

Q: numero uno detractor ng benilde?

A: bad-mouthing lasallian

that's a fact

[dudutt]

Hi Basho (my esteemed fellow La Sallian)

Well there is a fundamental difference between the autonomous campuses of the UP System and the De La Salle University System.

While both the UP System and the DLSU System
are the same in that all their member institutions have only one System President and System Planning, the DLSU System is DIFFERENT from the UP System in that the different units of the DLSU System unlike the UP System does not offer the SAME set of courses.

Each campus of the DLSU System has its own area of specialization and expertise unlike the identical campuses of the UP System which offer the same courses.

Thus in the UP System, UP Manila basically offers the same set of courses as UP Los Banos, UP Visayas and UP-Diliman so a UP Freshman applicant can just take one UP Freshman Test and if he does not pass the quota for UP-Diliman, he can be assigned to say UP Los Banos or UP Visayas which have lesser applicants.

Not so in the DLSU-System.

Thus, the DLSU-College of Saint Benilde (as per its approved charter) ONLY offers courses NOT offered in DLSU-Manila so there is NO DUPLICATION between the two DLSU System institutions. Each has its OWN area of specialization. In fact flunkies from Engineering or any other course from DLSU-Manila CANNOT just transfer to the DLSU-College of St. Benilde to say take up Hotel & Restaurant Mgt. or Culinary Arts without taking & passing a SEPARATE ENTRANCE EXAM so it is just like transferring to another school like say UST or Palawan University.

Also if the DLSU-Manila transferee passes the DLSU-CSB Entrance Exam, ONLY 10% of his DLSU-Manila subjects can be credited.

Same with the DLSU-Health Sciences Campus(another member of the DLSU System) which only offers Medicine and Physical Therapy. If one wants to enter say its College of Medicine then he/she must pass the school's Medical Entrance Exam.

Also one more thing, I think its NOT FAIR for say a genius in Math or Accounting or Engineering to look down on a student whose expertise is Fine Arts or Music. Each person has his/her own God-given field of expertise.

Bro. Andrew Gonzalez FSC, PhD (current Education Secretary & former De La Salle president) who founded the DLSU System definitely KNEW what he was doing.

ANIMO LA SALLE!

[basho]

Hi to you too, dudutt!! :)

Well, from what I gather, La Salle Benilde is a center for creative Lasallians and La Salle Taft is a center for traditional and technical Lasallians. But the keyword here is Lasallian, which students of both schools are.

There is a Christian Brother school in New York, the Manhatten College. Even though the name and location maybe far from DLSU or DLSU-CSB, students from this college still call themselves Lasallians.

[unashamedusher]

You guys want an example of this "cracking" system?

I was part of the La Salle System Athletics team for this years National Open. Three of us Zobel boys teamed up with the best of DLSU, Dasma, and CSB.

One of the days, while the assistant coach was watching his player jump... comments on the jump... talks about the result... talks to the head coach... says: "paano ba 'yan ayaw mag-gold yung La Salle"... then glances over a Benilde runner.

This Benilde runner raised his eyebrows in disgust... "kum baga, nagpaparinig" Talks to his CSB teammates... tells them "parang ayaw ng taft gumaling ang benilde"

BTW, I hung out with the Benilde people during the National Open proper. Checked out their campus when it was lunch. Not bad... Not bad at all.

Sino ba nag-sabing "bulok ang kabila"?

[BadGiRL]

ganda sa kabila actually.

and from what i gathered..magaling ang benilde in its own way. kasi nga as u guys pointed out, iba talaga yung inooffer ng benilde. kumbaga special and innovative. kaya how can u compare dlsu-taft from dlsu-csb e in the first place iba naman talaga yung inooffer nila.

i really think it's disgusting whenever i hear comments degrading csb. http://www.pinoyexchange.com/grrr.gif parang.. engers ka pala e. nakita mo ba yung nakasulat sa building..dlsu-csb o! lasalle din yan e.

hayyy... kaya minsan nakakapag taka may lasallistang (dlsu-main) ang kapal ng mukha na magalit kapag dinedegrade sila at magiging defensive na kesho -iba daw ang lasalle at d lang kasi alam ng detractors ano ang buhay sa lasalle. e samantalang dinedegrade naman nila yung kapwa lasalle school nila. as if alam nila ano yung buhay sa benilde. dami kasi nagmamagaling minsan e.

[ebtg]

May tanong lang ako and please, no flames.

Bakit yung mga bumabagsak sa main (o sige na nga, DLSU-Taft), napupunta sa CSB? At bakit yung mga classmates kong halos igapang ang Math nung high school, nagiging TOP OF THE CLASS sa CSB?

[khakiskrt]

because in CSB they give you the subjects that YOU need for your course and they have innovative teaching styles which isn't boring to the students which makes them want to learn more.

[lucas]

anong paki ko.

[yinyang]

The great majority of DLSU-Manila students do NOT look down on the students of DLSU-College of Saint Benilde. The great majority of La Sallians understand that the DLSU-CSB has its own specialty which therefore attracts its own student clientele.

So let us not be NAIVE to believe that the comments of a small MINORITY to reflect the views of the VAST majority of La Sallians.

To each his/her own. Some are good in Math/Science, some are good in Languages, some are good in Fine Arts, some are good in Music. God made us distinct individuals with our own strong points CONTRARY to what some smart alecks think.

[khakiskrt]

hello yall! I agree with you guys that all Lasallians should be united. Actually, I really liked the LS2K celebration where our pep squad and DLSU main's pep squad got to dance at the same time.We should have more things like that. We're all friends and we should keep it that way.. I also agree that our Student Councils should propose a project uniting DLSU and CSB. Peace yall.. ANIMO BENILDE and ANIMO LA SALLE :)

[3vor]

i for one is disgusted with people who treats every la sallian community differently.i mean the way some people react when they hear that a student came from other la sallian communty besides main, you'll always hear comments na "bakit doon???", "hindi ka ba pumasa ng main???"and all that crap!

it is very uplifting that we still have people like you (basho)that beleives in the unity of the la sallian community.hope we have more that thinks the same way as you do......

[crispypata]

Ang ganda ng benilde Ha! Kumpleto lahat! Hindi tulad sa DLSU-Manila (official name) medyo kulang kulang. Benilde Students are the best in their own fields! Sa fashion design magaling, sa Theater! Okay sila! Kasi naman ang mga tao ang nakikita yung mga tumatambay sa labas ng mga campus natin na naninigarilyo etc etc. Kasi naman naninigarilyo lang, may kotseng maporma, mayabang na.

Ang tawag doon Inggit di ba? Hey Animo La Salle!!!!

[basho]

Well, I'm glad that most people here agree with me. While I did use the Benilde-La Salle relationship as an example of the cracked system, it wasn't the focal point of this topic. I would also like to cite relationships with our brothers and sisters in Dasmarinas, Cavite. There are some Lasallians who do not even know that there's a campus at Dasmarinas, let alone the fact that La Salle has a medical school.

Should the administration be blamed for this? I personally think that they're doing the best they can do regarding the system. It seems that the students of all La Salle system schools need to cooperate to speed the process. But are they willing?

[crispypata]

Well di naman siguro admi.

pero alam nyo ba na may bagong acquisitions ang DLSU. Gregorio Araneta Univ. Magkakaroon na rin ng DLSU-Canlubang, DLSU-CCS Campus sa Filinvest Alabang at ang DLSU Hraduate School of Business sa RCBC Center sa may Ayala.

Parang ang yaman natin ano?

[erman]

mula sa intrigerang tikbalang sa plaza villarosa:

“siguro mas-makakabuti kung tanggalin na ang dlsu sa dlsu-csb... just make it plain CSB... kasi yung iba pinagpipilitan na taga-lasalle sila, eh benilde bred naman... taga-lasallian system oo! pero taga lasalle? dehins! kaya pagtinatanong kung anong school nanggaling- sagot CSB!!! Wala nang explain-explain na dlsu din yan o ano pa... although half-bred ako-- 2yrs dlsu 2yrs benilde.. CSB grad ‘to! ignore na lang sa mga degrading remarks... sipa?! **** mo! sipain kita diyan... in the end, the graduates will carry the name of the school... ang bad trip nga sa lasalle-- pag taga-benilde ang nag-excel sa workplace they claim na taga-dlsu yan, pero kung may lusot na panget yung ginawa, taga-benilde kaagad....whatever you do in the real world will reflect the kind of education you have... so far, wala namang negative comments sa mga grads ng benilde, puros praise... pero yung iba diyan nakalagay sa resume course: BSBA-CA school: DLSU... eh hello?! wala namang course na ganoon sa la salle... feelingero... tandaan na baby pa lang ang benilde, ang dami nang achievements, what more kung tumanda na ng 15 or 25 years? hintayin na lang... masamang impression ang sinimulan, pero pa-konti-konti gaganda rin o gumaganda na... sa mga detractors ng benilde—nakapag-aral ka ba sa CSB? kung hindi, eh *****! dehins mo pala alam pinagsasabi mo eh, dehins ka naman galing dito... puros hearsay lang ang resource mo.. ***** ka pala eh!... haaay, ang dal-dal ko... anyway, chika lang!.. okey pala dito sa plaza villarosa, parang resort with matching palm tress and huts, pero sana, sana lang, magkaroon ng pool...”

ALL students of all La Salle Institutions in 81 countries all over the world are LA SALLIANS since they are all studying in institutions established by the De La Salle Christian Brothers- a Catholic Religious Order founded by St. John Baptist De La Salle in 1680.

For instance students studying in La Salle Philadelphia(U.S.A.), La Salle Greenhills(Metro Manila), Manhattan College(New York, U.S.A.), De La Salle Coolege(Malvern, Australia), La Salle Hong Kong, De La Salle University-Health Sciences Campus(Dasmarinas, Cavite) and DLSU-College of St. Benilde(Manila) as well as those from De La Salle University-Manila are all LA SALLIANS.

Same as those who study at the UP-Asian Institute of Tourism or UP-College of Fine Arts or UP-College of Human Kinetics or UP-Mindanao are ALSO UP students. They just have different specializations that all.

ANIMO LA SALLE!

[erman]

Hey Zonrox! I couldn’t agree more. Even us teachers in benilde as referred to as Lasallian educators, and not Benildean educators. Sinasabi lang siguro ni tikbalang na may difference between being a lasallian at sa mga nag-ke-claim na taga-dlsu sila kahit sa benilde nag-aaral. Can you see the connection here? If not? please ignore, what you’ve read is gobbledygook in the first place.

ay nako... 10 yrs na pala ang benilde... sino ang nag ba bad mouth sa benilde? lasallians from the benilde!

its the system and the students. i have a nephew who failed the dlsu taft exam, he was likewise rejected by csb - then later, csb wrote to him saying they reconsidered his grades and if he would re enroll. he is now a graduate... but he still maintains, that csb is substandard else why was he admitted to that school when the dlsu taft rejected him?

students - the transferee students from dlsu main to csb are also the same ones belittling their school, they were about to be kicked out from dlsu main but they were absorbed by dlsu csb, so they look at csb as a second rate school - one student commented of it as csb - college ng saksakan ng bobo... sama i know... they put their own school down

[carloni]

pag tinanggal ang DLSU sa DLSU-CSB edi walang kwenta na mag aral sa CSB. kaya nga maraming pumapasok sa CSB dahil may DLSU. if it were not for the "DLSU" in DLSU-CSB, CSB would just be another no name school, and that's the truth. i asked around before i arrived at that conclusion.

Prof at CSB tries really hard to make a subject very interesting and not boring (actually almost all profs) that is why we get high grades. But for some na hindi pumapasa medyo tamad lang siguro sila

I'd just like to point out that the real name of DLSU main is De La Salle University MANILA...NOT De La Salle University Taft.

We might as well call UP-Manila UP-Taft eh?

DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY - COLLEGE OF ST. BENILDE
ayan! Tama ba? :P

[Ice Queen]

It's DE LA SALLE - COLLEGE OF SAINT BENILDE.

Akala ko rin nung una De La Salle University - College of Saint Benilde. But I was corrected by the Office of Student Affairs and they said that the proper way of saying it is DLS - CSB.

[Joseph Velarde]

Ewan ko ba kung baki nasa isang sistema lang ang CSB at Lasalle eh nagkakaroon pa ng ganyang sitwasyon. Haaaaaay sarap pagpapanain!

[dredd6699]

e, anong magagawa mo? sa talagang bulok yung systema ng la salle e. ipagpipilitan mo pang pantay yung Benilde sa Main. school for the creative daw yung benilde e, school naman talaga yun para sa mahihina yung utak. para lang may mahuthot yung la salle dahil mas mataas ang tuition sa CSB. wala naman akong kilalang creative dun e.

Students and employees of De La Salle Dasmariñas are well aware of this cracked relationship. I'm not even sure if the labelling of DLSU-Dasma as "la salle tafat ng area" and "la salle taf of the mountain" is self-ascribed or a product of the discriminatory minds of members of other DLSU systems.

BTW, DLSU-D has one of the most beautiful campuses in the De La Salle System :*)

I am from Dlsu- Manila. THe way I see it, CSB could be something like, the Arts school of the DLSU System, 'coz of such "innovative" courses like Theater Arts, DEsign, HRM, Dance, Multi Media arts etc etc. :) Its good we have this school, its kindda like learning your lessons away from the traditional ways of teaching.

[ArcherBlaze]

When will the so called UNITY within the La Salle System be.....

[ArcherBlaze]

I have friends from the DLSU-Manila who tells me na Bulok daw ang Benilde.... reason nila... because they can't get in the CSB campus easily as I do at the main campus.

[Romancon]

Bakit kasi naging autonomous ang CSB, bakit kasi di nalang sila nakuntento sa College of Career Development of De La Salle University na dating tawag sa CSB.

oo nga... La Salle Lipa also... nice campus, better than DLSU Manila...

as for the discrimination thing, wait till you graduate and be employed to the same company... some graduates of CSB (and "other" La Salle schools) even perform better than some graduates of DLSU Manila... in the end, nasa tao rin yan, if he/she gets the best things out of what his/her school can offer. ;)

[chobas_angel]

kaya naman kasi yung ibang tao (iba lang ha) sa dlsu (at sa mga ibang universities na din) eh mababa tingin sa dls-csb ay dahil pag may nasisipa sa dlsu, next term lumilitaw na sa csb. tsaka yung mga iba kong kilalang ganyan eh dean's lister na sa csb.

pero ngayon daw mas mahirap na ang mga entrance exams sa csb. siguro para maiba na ang impression ng mga tao sa kanila. pero nung time ko eh ang dali talaga ng entrance exam ng csb. ewan ko ba't yung katabi ko kumopya pa sa akin. pero ngayon, nasa csb na siya (thanks to me daw ;)). natatandaan ko yung parang comic strips dun sa test, yun yung favorite ko :). but in fairness, mas gusto ko yung mga course sa csb. pero i chose dlsu bec of its academic reputation.

pero lahat naman tayo lasallista so sana wag na tayong mag-away-away. question lang, ba't ang lsgh hindi kasama sa dlsu system? dahil walang "de?" :D

Pres. Dizon said that DLSU-D is the most beautiful DLSU campus. Anyway, sad but true, dlsu-d is considered "taf of the mountain" just because of the geography (though it's not really in a mountain)...it's just an exaggeration of some DLSU peeps long time ago...But now i know, di na uso yang tawag na yan. 'Yung mga primitive & ignorant ppl na lang ang nagsasabi nyan. They may discriminate dlsu-d as being the "taf of the mountain" but they can never say that its graduates are dumbs. So many dlsu-d graduates are now doing great in their fields. To add more, among the DLSU system schools students, i consider DLSU-D students are the La Sallians who are not living in school pride.
I cannot find anything wrong with the DLSU system except for some of its students. It's the students who keeps on discriminating each other.......Kung sinong mas magaling. I think lahat ng La Sallians ay may kaniya-kaniyang galing. 'Yung discriminations na yan, para lang yan dun sa mga di totoong La Sallians na ang iniisip lang ay kayabangan pero wala namang binabatbat o kaya bobo...Don't think kung pano nyo ipagmamayabang ang campus niyo, ang isipin niyo ay kung paano kayo ipagmamalaki ng dlsu system o kaya ng campus niyo...& what's even funnier, marami akong nakikitang post dito sa PEx na ipagyayabang ang DLSU campus o kaya magd discriminate tapos sasabihin sa post nila na "Animo La Salle!". Di ba nakakahiya? They don't even know what it means. Where are the La Sallian values now?

ang alam ko, yung zobel ang "frinanchise" ng isang rich person... ipinangalan pa nga yung zobel sa anak nung may-ari, kaya yung buong name ng zobel eh de la salle santiago zobel school. yun kasi yung nakalagay palagi sa handbook namin nung nagaaral pa ako sa zobel eh :D

"franchised"? parang franchise ng zagu or ng jollibee ang la salle.

These came from the 1999-2000 handbook of zobel:

"De La Salle Santiago Zobel, a member of the DLSU System, was established on March 29, 1978 to meet the objective of moving the elementary department of De La Salle University on Taft Avenue to a more conducive and suitable learning environment with a high school department to assure grade school graduates of placement in secondary education. "

Tapos dun sa last page with the picture of Santiago Zobel:

"Jacobo Santiago Zobel after whom the school was named, was the eldest son of Enrique Zobel who was then President of Ayala Corporation when the school was established. The school was made possible through the generous donation of part of the site by Ayala Corporation and the Madrigal Family and through the financing by Filipinas Life Assurance Company."

De La Salle Santiago Zobel is not a franchise. The reason why zobel was established was because they had to move the gradeschool and highschool department of Taft somewhere else (dahil daw masikip na, etc). The Zobels do not own De La Salle Zobel. They just donated the land where zobel now stands.

I admit that sometimes I discriminate those studes from DLSU-D. Kasi, as far as I can recall, when it was still DLSU-EAC (Emilio Aguinaldo College), the administrators didn't set standards para sa mga enrolees. Like sa DLSU Manila, di nila tinatanggap (at least di binibigyan ng application form) pag ang average mo ay below 85 and if your NCEE is below 83. It's really easy to get in DLSU-D para nga naman masabing marami na ang estudyante nila, kaya ngayon, sila ang nagsa-suffer.

I have a neigbor na nakapasok sa DLSU-D, e kicked-out ng isang school yun sa Mindoro, (hindi rin sya nakapasa sa UST, UE at ADAMSON! ADAMSON NA YUN HA? TAPOS TATANGGAPIN NILA! SUS!)kaya ayun, nagaaral pa rin hanggang ngayon, to think na alam halos ng lahat ng tao sa country club namin na bobo yun (anak kasi ng PAF Colonel). Parang ang impression tuloy e mababa ang standards nila, naapektuhan din tuloy and La Salle System as a whole.

Eto pa, I met this girl, from DLSU-D rin sya, and then she goes "huuy, where do you live ba?' and then i go "Sa Las Pinas, why?" then she said "nothing, I'm just wondering kung ano and ZIPTAL CODE ninyo!" (ZIP CODE) SEE? kaya nagkakaroon tuloy ng discrimation kasi nasa mga estudyante rin naman yun eh, kung and isang school sana e maganda ang standards, namimili ng estudyante na talagang matatalino, nakapasa sa standards, e di hindi tayo napagtatawanan ng ibang schools!

AY SUS!

[KevinLee]

The quality of an academic institution can be based on the kind of students it produces, but one cannot judge an institution based on a few inane conversations with some students....they do not represent the whole....

I agree that there are some cases where for humanitarian reasons students who are kicked out from other schools are accepted in DLSU-D and because of this they are given the chance to experience the quality of excellence in instruction and facilities offered by DLSU-D..:)

[JaM-777]

a lot of my batchmates who had low grades in highschool are accepted in DLSU Manila & I also know a lot of "bobitos/bobitas" in main...so don't focus on DLSU-D.

[an]

Jam-777:
ur absolutely right! even DLSU-Taft accepts transferees din naman e! :p


all DLSU students contribute to the success or downfall of the institution they all belong to. each campus caters to the different needs of the new generation students kaya dapat we should recognize the special talents and skills that make each campus unique! ;)

ANIMO LA SALLE!!!

[nuss]

ewan ko... i don't feel Bro Roly's 'ten-year program' for DLSU-D. I've been here for three months already. And don't tell that I don't know what I'm talking about. Three years na ako in college, and all of them I've spent in DLSU... just figure out where...

Jesus Mary Joseph!:mad:

Galing ka sa isang bulok na pamantasan. Masama ka. Inggit ka. May nakita kang butas at pilit mo itong pinapalaki. Huwag kang mag-alala. Kapag may nakitang problema, pinag tutuunan ito ng pansin kaya matatapos ang gabing ito na mas matibay at mas buo ang sistemang De La Salle.

Maghanda ka nang mabura sa kasaysayan ng edukasyon.

Anyway

-----------------

I also see a problem with some CSB people. SOME consider DLSU-Manila as an institution for the technical and the traditional. Not true. Again, this is a prejudice we need to eradicate. DLSU-M has the College for Liberal ARts and has a course in Advertising which has subjects on visualization, copywriting, photography and other arts-related stuff.

----------------

I agree. CSB should be incorporated by De La Salle Manila. We need them as they need us. We already know that from the start but does it have to end with this? The best thing, i think we can do is to unite. Our campuses are near to each other. Actually, they can even make a bridge over the LRT to literally unite the two. Then the problem could be solved. No more of these prejudices agains each other.


------------------

About the other members, I also think that we should enforce a stricter rule that no the same course should be offered in two System universities. Kung Manila, business, computers, liberal arts, engineering, etc. Kung Benilde, arts, hrm and some business. kung Health Sciences, medicine and other health-related stuff. kung Dasmarinas, agriculture and other related stuff. I think this kind of system, sharing each other's resources, will enable us to be bigger, better and more united.

With this System, truly, the U.P. system has found a match.

You guys want an example of this "cracking" system?

I was part of the La Salle System Athletics team for this years National Open. Three of us Zobel boys teamed up with the best of DLSU, Dasma, and CSB.

One of the days, while the assistant coach was watching his player jump... comments on the jump... talks about the result... talks to the head coach... says: "paano ba 'yan ayaw mag-gold yung La Salle"... then glances over a Benilde runner.

This Benilde runner raised his eyebrows in disgust... "kum baga, nagpaparinig" Talks to his CSB teammates... tells them "parang ayaw ng taft gumaling ang benilde"

BTW, I hung out with the Benilde people during the National Open proper. Checked out their campus when it was lunch. Not bad... Not bad at all.

Sino ba nag-sabing "bulok ang kabila"?


GEEZ!!

That was done in the spirit of competition. JOS MIO!

Wag masayado balat sibuyas....hindi mo ma-help yan siempre sa ganung labanan, kahit kayo kaaway sa event na yun.

Ang hirap sa atin ay yung pag-build ng camaraderie amoing system schools...in time lalakas din ang bond natin....

for the meantime wag balat sibuyas....ambaduy ng ganun eh

[nina malagu]

Well, I hope you guys will be enlightened. Kayo-kayo mismo nagsisiraan. Will you stop that discrimination within your system? Hmmmm..I am just wondering.....

Make up your minds....peace!

[PS]

Oh, nina malagu good buddy!

Oh well, its just sibling rivalry. Wag masyado pakialamera, ha?

Oh, and make up our minds with regard to what? Please explain.

Thanks.

Have a great day! *okay*
