What do you think about MAPUA?

[spydee]

what do you think of students studying in mapua?just curious 'coz i'm studying there eh!

[fridoh]

may reputation ang Mapua na producer ng magagaling na engineers. la akong masyadong comment kasi matagal na kong walang balita sa Mapua. btw im from Mapua HS.

[moonshyne5]

Ah yang mga Mapuans? Mababait yan! Friendly! Hindi mapoporma (ewan ko lang sa mga freshmen hehe). Kaso nga lang nung first day ko ng ojt dyan, nailang ako, pano lahat sila nakatingin sa ken -- hoy Mapuans ngayon lang ba kayo nakakita ng nakaputi? http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif

Seriously, though, if I had wanted to take up any eng'g course, sa Mapua siguro ako nag-apply. I agree with fridoh, 'cause I've also heard of good engineers who came from Mapua.

[rors]

magaling nga daw sila sa engineering.

[Ramirez]

Muntik nakong magaral dyan kasi barkada ko puro Mapuans. The best pa rin sa engineering in my opinion.

[rao]

masyadong concerned sa board exams. kung nag top ka ba you can then change the world? pero isa sa mga idols ko mapuan - Dr Diosdado Banatao. galing!

[Kaboom!]

I know a few people from Mapua and they are very smart people.

I've met Dado Banatao and have had the honor of listening to his insights and I am very impressed! He might actually be the most successful Filipino businessman/engineer ever being worth about $1 Billion doing his thing in Silicon Valley.

Peace.

[Maverick]

hardworking, intelligent and clever (in a positive way ha? hehe)

viva mapua!

[KuyaDanny]

I'm not answering your question, but I'll let you know what I think about your school. You have a new president who is a son of a teacher and a man committed to quality education. I truly hope he succeeds in his task of improving the school in the best manner he knows. This country could use a few more outstanding colleges. I wish him, and everybody helping him, all the best.

[vanz declaro]

what do I think about Mapua. Well, dyan nag-aaral ang boyfriend ko!! syempre, proud ako sa kanya cause he made it to d last yr of eng'g.

what i have observed sa mga mapuans pag sinusundo ko siya: hindi mapoporma. malalaman mo pag mga 1st years pa lang kasi may mga dalang t-square pa!! he...he..he.

ang galing mo na pag naka-abot ka na ng 5th year.

ang tawag nga sa kanila ay... MAPUYATS!! dajil sa dami ng mga projects and assignments.

sila rin ang pinakalate mag-open ng classes after sembreaks and after summer vacation at unang-una pang magbakasyon.

Sorry girls... pero wala akong makitang beauties sa inyo.

okks kayo in terms of engineering course. iba pag mapua grad.

[khakiskrt]

ok naman, dyan kami nagpapractice for NCAA opening eh. nice naman the people, magulo lang pag sundays, dami kasing ROTC people. :)
goodluck sa inyo sa NCAA, kayo ang host di ba ? :)

[BakToNG]

walanghiyang school yan ...... naholdup ako sa harap nila bweset!!!! ayoko nang pumunta dyan ... tangay pati cell ko!!!!!!

[marblink]

Baktong! hindi naman pinag-uusapan dito ang labasan ng mapua. Ang alam ko kung ay ang masasabi tungkol sa Mapua. Napaka bias naman kung ijudge natin ang isang bagay sa labas ng kaanyuan nito. If i said ur name stinks *** wud u feel? Just a piece of advice. Well mapua is still the best producer of intelligent engineers and to top it all humble sila.

[This message has been edited by marblink (edited 07-19-2000).]

[DMX]

the only school na maraming na ki-kick out. he!he! di na kaya ng utak kasi

[quickmelt]

yup, basta mapua,the best sila sa engineering kaya lang sabi nila mostly old facilities ang meron nila and the place is not quite sanitary

Baktong can i ask who r u? kasi may nakilala din akong naholdup sa harap ng mapua e, im just curious

[MAD_President]

My answer is the same with the other PEXers here. My dad, auntie, and cousins graduated from MAPUA with different engineering degrees. My lolo used to teach there decades ago. I was supposed to study there because they're the best in electrical engineering.

I just hope they could upgrade the facilities.

Hmmmm... what if I did enroll at MAPUA? http://www.pinoyexchange.com/wonder.gif

[yves]

magaling sa engineering!

[Jeremy Darwin]

i'm not so sure if i get this right...
diba MAPUA was taken over by the Yuchengco group and they were the ones who gave Bro. Roly Dizon of DLSU to manage the said institution? correct me if i'm wrong.

[raffyp]

Khakiskrt,
TAKSIL!!! Bwahahahahahaha!!!
Mapua is a great school, great engineers and architects are what I can say. Goodluck sa inyo sa NCAA, pero dadaan muna Cardinals niyo sa CSB Blazers namin!!! Hehehehehehe!!!

Viva Mapua!!!
ANIMO BENILDE!!!

[mark_mark]

i think mapua is one of the better schools in the country.

[cianoy]

Any comments on Mapua's prospects now that it has been acquired by the Yuchengco group?

[anne]

I'm not from your school but I know somebody who graduated there, which happened to be my suitor. Based on my experience, I have an impression na weirdo ang mga students diyan. I don't want to judge the people there in general na ganun talaga kayo, pero may nakilala pa akong 1 student galing diyan same as the first na nakilala ko weirdo din in terms of attitude. Yeah, I agree na mabait sila and friendly, yun nga lang weird. Itong 2 to nakilala ko sila sa chatroom, yung una nanligaw sakin, yung pangalawa naman katext mate ko. Sa nakikita ko lang dun sa nanligaw sakin, ang daming ugaling di ko nagustuhan na parang gusto kong mag-generalize, pero hindi pwede because its not right to judge without knowing the truth, I can say na masyado siyang feeling to think na nanliligaw pa lang siya noon and he's so selfish dahil pinagpipilit niya yung gusto niya...which is sagutin ko na siya...pero sorry I can't coz I still have my studies as my priority...besides I'm not yet ready and ayaw pa ng parents ko kung gusto ko daw siyang sagutin dapat after graduation...but he can't wait and understand my point, masyado siyang nagmamadali...wala akong magagawa...hindi ko naman pwedeng sagutin yung tao dahil lang sa napilitan ako no. That's it...just one of your alumnis na nakilala ko.

eh isa ka pa palang tan gee a eh! hindi naman sinabing ijudge eh, ang tinatanong yung masasabi mo lang! may sinabi naman cia tungkol sa sa mapua, di ba? ang linaw-linaw "sa labas ng mapua!" bakit yun lang bang nasa loob ng mapua ang pedeng idescribe, ha?

[sakura]

My friend once compared UST with Mapua and the course we were talking about was architecture. She told me Tomasians make good employers while Mapuans (?!) make good employees... I don't know if thats good or what... May architecture ba sa Mapua in the first place?? la lang... hehehehe :hmm:

My colleague told me that the whole institution was already bought by the DLSU organization. The name will still be Mapua but the rules and regulations of the college is already centralized to DLSU. The tuition fee would have slight increase if the acquirement is completed. :)

[Ben_J_Mann]

technically they are good .... pero most of them lack comm skills ... sbi nila ang mapua ngayon, di na katulad ng dati ....

[benyaki]

ang alam ko yuchengco na nga daw ang bumili... buti pa nga sila gumaganda na facilities... bumili pa nga ng mga bagong equipment, sabi sa akin ng kakilala ko... tapos yung id parang sa dept store na me laser... samantalang sa amin, ang mahal na, meron pang nakalagay na engineering development fund sa enrollment form namin, di naman namin maramdaman na me nadedevelop naman... :silly:

[eponine07]

mapua...magaling sa engineering. dyan graduate ang daddy ko. marami rin akong kilalang mapuan na matalino. bihira ang hindi pumapasa sa board exam.

kung matalino ako sa math siguro dyan ako nag-aral...:D



:blossom:

[cool_water]

magaling ng school sa engineering ang MAPUa...well thats at least what they say...

pero i agree talaga na isa sa mga better schools ang MAPUA..

[cool_water]

[razzp]

It's a great school! Kaya lang masyadong focused sa board exam. Di naman makikita yung quality nang education kung top ka sa board exam. In Mapua's case they review a lot. Siyempre alam na yung pattern at tactics ng pagtake. Opinion ko lang po.

[woh]

im a mapuan. at mahirap mag aral sa mapua. nakakabaliw ang mga subjects. kahit na english eh may kasamang math pa rin. ang masasabi ko lang lahat ng mapuan girls eh cute, di man super pretty, desirable naman and intelligent. nuff said...

xs <cute ang id, kaya lang para kaming item sa dept. store na kailangan pang iscan para makita ang price>.

friends kami lahat kahit outside the school, pagka mapuan ka kasi, may instant bonding agad yan, kahit na nasa makati ka pa or anywhere. and mapuans are "madiskarte" magaling sa engineering lettering and malupit mag edit ng OT.

<and yes, competitive din ang architecture students dito, mas maganda nga ang building nila kaysa sa engineering courses. down to earth at hindi pa cute ang mga students dito. haha! ok, tama na yon...>

[lady_emelye]

well, sabi nga nila.. there are only two engineering schools here in the philippines... Mapua and others...:D

mapuans... kahit sa labas kilala mo yan sila... hindi masyado maporma... except nga dun sa freshmen kasi hindi pa nila alam kung ano yung hirap na dadanasin nila. Pero pag nakita mo yung mga higher years, specially yung mga graduating na... mukha ng di natutulog... but its all worth it, lalo na pag nakuha mo na yung diploma mo.

dito ako sa mapua nag-aral kasi my brother was a graduate of the institution... sabi nga iba talaga ang dating ng mapuan. totoo, mahirap mag-aral dito, pero magaling dumiskarte ang mga mapuans... kahit tambak na ng projects and requirements... nakakanood pa yan ng sine at nakakagimik!:cool: kahit na mga walang tulog... on the go pa rin. "mapuyat institute of antoknology" minsan ang tawag sa amin...

well, cute lahat ng girls dito no! baka absent ako nung nagpunta ka!:D at syempre lahat ng mapuans may brains at substance... kung hindi... kick out ka! hehehe!

at ang mga boys dito.. iba dumiskarte... bibilib ka talaga...:p

mapua is the best... viva mapua!

[total_ricall]

mapua.....

errr....
the school that gives me either a grade of 3.00 or a 5.00!!! :D augh!!! it's hell hard to stay here... im on my 4th year na but i still feel like a freshie who is still adjusting. and sometimes i came to realize that....."hey i must be an amoebic slime-gutted hellspawn genius for me to still be here!!!" .... :D but sometimes i feel sooooo helpless and goddamn pathetic when im doin all the lab reports in strict engineering lettering, and all the plates, and all of these and all of that...sheesh!!! theyr all eating up my most precious time...:( i hate it when another zit pops out of my face after a restless night of study...i hate it when my friends from other school are out partying on a friday night...while i'm rushing up a paper or trying to figure out another oh so difficult math problem.... wahhh!! then some ill-considerate profs will just give me a grade of 3.00???or worst 5.00!!!??? i deserve something better, don't i? wanna die!!! :weep:

and oh about the faciities....thank the new admin for polishing the facilities...a big w o w!!! kudos to u. the skool was decaying before...literally! thanks for giving the students what they deserve...geez!!! the tuition fee has gone up real steep huh... hope its worth paying for....;) the new id system is kinda cool!!! but its annoying to queue up just to enter and to leave the campus....skool hafta work on that.:D

the culture here is not so fancy...though some swanky people still maintain their glitter in skool, many of them lose it gradually!!!hahahah... but hey i notice that many mapuans now surface up and unleash their glamour side... ain't that cool???:)

wish me strength!!! :)

[justInStix]

MAPUA? well, actually i went there for an entrance exam and i did pass, but i end up with no regrets in one of the universities that CHED awarded as the center of excellence in engineering. But i thnik *** yung magaling dati dahil college of engineering *** yun lang ang kelangan nila bigyan ng focus, so ang alam ko is *** yung nagpoproduce dati ng mga top eng's but now i thnik they do not perform that good na compared before...

first, facilities, kulang na kulang..mga buks na ginagamit and the concepts are still the old ones, di na updated...

second, di well maintained, medyo kelangan ng improvement.

thanks to Yuchengco, now they're getting better unlike before.

yeah, i heard of it na LA SALLE bought it already, but the truth is it is only Yuchengco who bought it, mga 90% of it.

Another trivia is Yuchengco is not even a graduate of DLSU but is a green-blooded fanatic kaya until now he still is one of the big men behind LA SALLE

the last tym i went to MAPUA, meron na rin clang bar code sa id na almost pareho na sa LA SALLE, some buildings are painted green na and airconditioned na rin yung ibang rooms although medyo siksikan pa rin sa loob (some ah)

and about MAPUANS? may kabarkada din me hu's studying there but i don't want to generalize, but i think the guys think they're OH-SO-COOL ONES kahit di naman..i mean......yeah, mga feeling nga....feeling maporma and feeling so talino akala mo *** lang marunong MAGMATRIX, CALCULUS, ENG DRAWING and the like...

just to remind 'em...nobody has ever beaten UP and they shud at least check it hus the center of excellence in eng...

To sum it up, i think they shud be a bit humble muna today and just make it again to be on the top. Maybe the help that Yuchengco is giving would be their advantage so guys there, calling all MAPUANS! take the opportunity and do well...

ANIMO LA SALLE!!!:p

Just to enlighten you a bit more, Mapua, being the only legitimate engineering school in the country was recently bought by the Yuchengco group to help it in its crusade in providing quality engineering education to a select mass. Select mass means those whose total household income belong to the lower B up to the higher D strata of our socio-economic strata. In other words, these are the not so well to do brethren of ours but, whose brains I believe can handle engineering mathematics involving quantum physics and thermodynamics.

To me, Mapua is one of the most under rated colleges in the country. But, in it's 40 or so years, it has definitely contributed to the advancement of our economy by producing well-equipped and technically-good engineers. I even heard that most senior manager's positions in major construction and engineering projects abroad, particularly in the middle east were practically dominated by mapua graduates.

There is no truth to the rumor that La Salle is keen on acquiring Mapua as one of its affiliates. On the contrary, it's even bent on improving its own College of Engineering, it being one of only two Centers for Excellence in Engineering education. The other being the University of the Philippines-Diliman, according to CHED. (Besides La Salle is miles ahead in terms of quality of students, facilities, faculty and curriculum.) Right now, it leads all private engineering schools in the country in terms of graduate school and research.

A bit of trivia: its name originated from the family of Don Tomas Mapua. A rich businessman who used to own parcels of land in that area near recto and doroteo jose where the mapua high school still stands. the intramuros campus was bought from the natonal government sometime after the war. Don Tomas Mapua, Sr. named the institute after his son, who carried his namesake. Tomas Mapua, jr. studied in La Salle before the war during his grade and high school years before moving on to the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) earning a degree in architecture.

The present St. La Salle building of DLSU along Taft Avenue fronting the LRT system with its American Gothic style of architecture was designed by no less than Tomas Mapua Jr himself in the early thirties.

Don Alfonso Yuchengco, finished high school at de la salle in the early forties. His son Alfonso Yuchengco III who is an alumnus of La Salle Greenhills and Taft campuses is currently the CEO of the entire Yuchengco conglomerate (which is composed of RCBC, Bankard, Honda Motors, Grepalife and Malayan Insurance) which bought into Mapua.

[justInStix]

tnx rsgubank for that complment you gave on our behalf. i have nothing against MAPUA but i believe so much in our school and im proud that it did make it to the top 3 schools which were given recognition as the centers of excellence, and yeah, LA SALLE didn't bought it, just like what my professors said.

If I did enroll in MAPUA I would have to wait for five years before i get to earn a degree and work, but still it's worth it since i don't have to rush everything and enjoy still calculus and my major subjects like ergonomics in one sem. But I'm currently enrolled in LASALLE and i'm now advanced in terms of all the subjects we're suppose to take up and i'm happy to know that not a day is wasted by just bummin' round na parang pa easy easy lang and i get to survive sa sobrang bilis na you have to take up everything and learn it in a term....so whether i chose to be there or here, it would be a different life for me.

However, I feel that UP and LASALLE should be given the right recognition as TWO of the best schools in engineering.

I know a bunch of faculty staff who's currently enrolled in a masteral here in DLSU and i hear them even brag about it. Well, what kind of attitude is that?

I don't want to generalize again, but, if MAPUANS claim that their alma mater is the best, then why do they all have to go to other school and why it has to be DLSU? They can go to UP but...i dunno why, napakababaw kung facilities lang yung habol nila.

If you think your school is the "only legitimate engineering school in the country" then why not enroll still in your school?

Besides, what additional learning they've gotten from LASALLE is being applied to their teaching methods and even the books we're using here are now the same with theirs...

I don't know how to say it, but I think those who claim EVERYTHING should stand for it, and not brag about anything they have na di naman talaga lahat galing sa kanila.

I say, MAPUA is one of the better schools in the country.

and just to encourage you more in your engineering studies at De La Salle, here's some more trivia:

did you know that Gerardo Ablaza who is the CEO of Globe Telecoms graduated from La Salle eng (IME) ?

did you know that Delfin Gonzales, Chief Financial Officer of San Miguel Corporation graduated from DLSU with a Chem eng degree? He also has an MBA from Harvard University.

did you know Paul Zaldariaga who introduced the concept of the trimestral system through his college thesis is the current Chief Marketing Officer of IBM Phils? He is a member of DLSU eng batch 1981.

VIVA MAPUA Dodong!!!

i appreciate it very much that you are encouraging me more to pursue eng'g and finish it in DLSU, glad to tell you i have no regrets so i can assure you of that...yeah i know too that DANDING COJUANGCO, SEN.TANADA, MIKE ENRIQUEZ, RAMON MAGSAYSAY JR., AND I DON'T KNOW HU IS THAT MAN FROM INTEL OR HEWLETT PACKARD na CEO i think, and so many lasalittes in the arena. well, so much for this thing about my school, MAPUANS might get irritated when they see this..i don't want to open a topic asking what people think of dlsu coz i don't want to brag about anything, we already have it, it shouldn't be questioned=)...anyway, are you a LA SALLE graduate?

[pepperoni]

i think they're great... i'm a mapuan and i'm proud of being one... hindi masyadong maporma and hindi nagfeefeeling yung students... simple lang sila and madaling makibagay sa mga tao..

VIVA MAPUA!
:D

[cedar_n_spruce]

lamo, madalas kame mag-site visit sa intramuros. tapos, during our breaktime, we usually hang-out sa mcdo near mapua. grabe! dameng pogi...pramis! pero yung mga babae, mukhang lalake...hehehe (joke).

[pepperoni]

mapua.... madaming bago like the ID and yung mga bagong rooms... medyo nakakaasar nga lang dahil strict sila masyado sa engineering lettering... ginagamit yun sa lahat ng subjects... first year pa lang eh kung anu-ano nang research yung pinapagawa nila sa amen na course related... halos lahat ng projects in english and filipino...course related den.. tapos... syempre, strict sila sa school rules and regulations...may warden kami sa labas ng classroom na nagpapatrol ng bawat room....tapos may tatlo hanggang apat na guards ang nasa entrance para magcheck ng damit ng mga estudyante... and walang warning-waring..pag nahuli ka, kaso kaagad... :( one more thing...based on my experience, sobrang hirap... sabi nga daw bihira lang yung makatungtong ng second year na walang bagsak...:rolleyes: pero may point naman sila doon... kaya hinihirapan para in the future sanay na daw kami and para sa board exam, medyo okay na.. (first year pa lang, iniisip na yung board)
mapuans...as i have said...simple ang mga tao and hindi masyadong nagfeefeeling... and sobrang daling makibagay...
tama yung sabi ng ibang mapuans na makikita yung pagkakaiba ng mga estudyante sa school...alam mo yung freshmen sa mga ibang years... aside from carrying a t-square, mas maporma yung freshmen compared to the other levels... sabi nga, kaya daw ganon kasi hindi pa nakakaranas ng hirap yung freshmen... so...ibig sabihin..kung nahihirapan na kami sa lagay na 'to.... mas mahihirapan pa kami in the following years...yun ay pag tumagal kami sa mapua....:mad:

[PS]

Actually, feeling ko, in a few years time, hahabol ng mabilis ang mapua.

Backed by the YGC Group, (that's money and expetise to boot!) gagaling na rin ang standards and image ng Mapua.

good for them.

[ahock]

Just to explain something to rsgubank and to justInStix. hope this will help about your questions. Well first I'm a true blooded Mapuan from first year high school until I graduated. I know justInStix your proud since LaSalle is one given by CHED as center of excellence. I do agree that LaSalle really is great in terms of facilities etc. But I asked lately our Dean about the CHED issue and he told me that it was on per course basis and cant be generalized as a whole. Well LaSalle really is good in terms of facilities but as far as Mapua is concern they are much better in terms of quality students and well also in curriculum. Another is once you are declared as center of excellence say in a certain course, CHED is giving some support (money) and when Mapua (I'm speaking of School of EE-ECE-CoE in particular) that time applied for this CHED do not have enough funds to source out. I think its true since as you can see the lists haven't change to think that there are also schools which deserve also although we know that this is very very strick (kasi nga may pera).

In response naman sa Question mo about faculty studying there? LaSalle has this program called Master of Science while in Mapua we have the Master of Engineering Program. If I'm not mistaken these two are basically the same the difference is MS is thesis basis while MEP is practicum basis. Faculty who studied there surely is taking up MS degree. Other reason is LaSalle has Masteral Courses which is not offered at Mapua. I think this controlled by CHED. Kung sino yung may capability. LaSalle is a big campus you know and one thing mas malapit (compare to UP). It located at the heart of Manila.


I think one way to gauge which school is best interms of engineering (as a whole na) is sa mga work ethics ng nagtratrabaho na. And sa mga employers. I heard they really prefer Mapuans kasi masisipag at madiskarte. Well LaSalle do really have edge in terms of communications I know this kasi I'm working na. But as far as work ethics is concern magaling magtrabaho ang Mapua and this really make mapua famous. Well I can attest to you this and some Mapuans kasi sa hirap na dinanas namin. Diba mga girls dito. Yung bf nyo 5th year na konti lang ang time diba sa inyo. But being fare also to LaSalle magagaling din sila and for me three schools lang in terms of engineering Mapua; UP; and LaSalle. These three is really the best in this field though they really have a lots of differences in terms of student attitude. Sorry sa ibang schools ha ala akong alam sa Eng. courses nyo eh. Adamson ata ok na din well I really dont know. One thing I've been in different companies na and I can say that Mapuans ay isa sa mga kalat na species sa buong mundo. Laging meron yan. Para nga daw kami mga fungi kalat na kalat. Thats all

Mukhang pinagaralan mo talaga itong post mo,ah!!? HAHAHAHAAHA kakatuwa.

well, if you think that the Mapuan work ethic works for you, then well and good.

I think my friends were just saying na, don't say na kayo lang ang "legit" engineering school sa 'Pinas, kasi kayo nga wala man lang kayong CHED Center of Excellence accolade. Earn it first then tsaka kayo magyabang.

Walang pondo ang CHED for you? Well, sorry, dats not our problem. :D

As of now, I guess malapit na kayo sa top schools na La Salle and UP. Pero in a few years, I am sure, pag nag yabang ka na Mapua is the great Engineering school of the Philippines, wala nang kokontra sayo.

Sabi ko nga, backed by YGC, facilities nyo ay siguradong magi-increase. Backed by money and the promise of advancement, excellent teachers will be lured to Mapua also. GOOD. Dahil dito, masma-attract pa ang mga students na matatalino sa inyo. May pros and cons din ang pagiging corporation-owned ng Mapua. Ingat na lang kayo sa YGC. Pero yun, as of now, more advancement ang makikita natin sa Mapua. I am happy na aangat ang engineering education sa 'Pinas.

ganun lang yun, pero ngayon to boast na the best kayo ahead of everyone else...well, AS OF NOW, you are simply dreaming.

[ahock]

Hey hindi lang naman kami ang nagsasabi na kami ang best schools in engineering. In fact when you go out in the industry yun talaga ang impression sa Mapua students. Kasalanan ba namin yun? Lahat tayo may kanya kanyang identity. Example sa LaSalle majority ha and i'm not saying ito na yun pero mostly magagaling sa communications skills kaso sa trabaho medyo tamad talaga kasi nga puro porma. But in fairness I've seen the curriculum and compare it sa amin ok naman. May mga subjects na ala sa ibang schools. Sa CHED issue na naman yun ang sabi sa akin ng Dean namin that time. Hindi naman sinabi doon na la Salle is magaling sa engineering. Per degree basis yun. And meron sa Mapua na coure na center for excellence. Geology, metallurgical and mining ata and CHE. It happens na sa ibang course DAW hindi na pursue yung application and nung nag apply na ala ng funds. Well some of my schoolmate brag about this talaga kasi ng Mapua. But the real issue is sa students din yun ang trabaho lang ng school ay i guide and estudyante. ok peace tayo ha.

(first year pa lang, iniisip na yung board)
mapuans...as i have said...simple ang mga tao and hindi masyadong nagfeefeeling... and sobrang daling makibagay...
tama yung sabi ng ibang mapuans na makikita yung pagkakaiba ng mga estudyante sa school...alam mo yung freshmen sa mga ibang years... aside from carrying a t-square, mas maporma yung freshmen compared to the other levels... sabi nga, kaya daw ganon kasi hindi pa nakakaranas ng hirap yung freshmen... so...ibig sabihin..kung nahihirapan na kami sa lagay na 'to.... mas mahihirapan pa kami in the following years...yun ay pag tumagal kami sa mapua....:mad:

Yan ang hirap sa pagiging pagaari ng korporasyon.

Corporations are obsessed with the bottomline. I believe the reasons for YGC acquiring Mapua is simple: profit and have a steady flow of people for their companies. Plain and simple. Having their schools are all the rage nowadays for corporations.

Kaya mahigpit sa Mapua, corporations din ay obsessed with efficiency. Kaya maraming improvements at pagbabago sa Mapua ngayon. Last time I visited there, bulok-bulok pa kayo. I doubt that will be the case in a few years.

I love the idea na gaganda pa ang ating engineering education.

Go Mapua.

Pero mas Animo La Salle. :D

oo naman, no problem.

Alam ko naman na magaling ang Mapua sa Engineering.

I'm not discounting Mapua.

bilib nga ako actually. Siguro its an image problem...siempre UP and La Salle is backed by old and respected names in education. (top three, di ba?)

basta, in a few years, kung walang stupidity na gagawin ang YGC at ok ang pamamalakad ng MapuaTech, I am sure you will be known as the Great Engineering School of the Philippines (ang gandang catch phrase nito to promote Mapua).

(of course, not if La Salle and UP can help it...hehehehehe)

[ahock]

yup PS Im also hoping not just for mapua but for all schools offering engineering courses. I guess CHED should really look into this some were just there saying na may engineering courses na offer but when you look into the curriculum and other bulok na bulok. Kasi I know facilities is a big factor but kung ang mga nagtuturo at ibang criteria ay left out ala pa ding silbi. (I wont name na lang kasi masama eh). CHED for me should focus on research and development. I think LaSalle has this and UP but syempre compare sa ibang bansa ala pa rin. TAMA ba PS. There also other eng schools na ok like St. Louis ata sa Baguio; UST ADAMSON; ok din others di ko na alam. Mataning ko PS LaSalle ka di ba. Is really Yuchengco the owner of LaSalle. Well sabi nila kaya nga napapagkamalang Sister school ang MIT at DLSU, pati na DLSU-CSB. All I know is LaSalle is somewhat govern by a system or parang corporation???? and Yuchengco is a part owner lang. Unlike sa Mapua kanila na ang school. Pls. Help on this ok. pero one thing ha We really feel that the YGC is somewhatchanging the schools image like lasalle. hehehehe good for us. Thanks

One thing nice nga pala sa Mapua ay puro eng. at technical courses well parang related lahat ng course kaya natututukan ng management unlike sa university madaming iintindihin. Kaya yun din ang reason kaya ganun ang culture namin parang iisa.

[PS]

Yo, ahock! :D

Well, unlike MapuaTech (ito na ang official name nyo, I heard...admi is shifting away from the MIT tag..), CEU, and FEU, La Salle is not a corporation....well at least in principle. Siempre, maraming mga alumni ang magagalit sa La Salle kung gagawing corporation ito...kasi non-profit organization ang La Salle eh, run by the Christian Brothers.

Ang CEU and FEU kasi may mga public offering sa stock exchange, I gues Mapua will be following suit (kasi ang ganitong method ay easier to raise funds for the school...capitalization kumbaga).

Hindi si Yuchengco ang may-ari ng La Salle. Kaya lang siguro na co-compare ang 2 school ay yung relationship with the Yuchengcos, I guess.

Marami na rin nai-donate ang Yuchengco sa La Salle kaya ganun.

I think ang mga Echauz of CEU ang posibleng nagpapatakbo ng La Salle...kaya pareho ang pamamalakad....profit-centered (yes ateneans, profit centered ang La Salle...sadly). CEU sinsiksik ang mga estudyante sa maliit na space...DLSU din.

KAINIS!

Maraming mga bagay-bagay ang hindi ko gusto sa pamamalakad ng La Salle (tulad ng Yuchengco Building...sinira ang historic gym namin para dyan sa monstrocity na yan... pinapatay na kami ng La Salle admi with thos buildings...choke choke...more trees please!!!!!)

[ahock]

yup mapua tech na ***. para yung nic name iniba kasi mas makikilala daw yung school sa ganitong way unlike pag MIT parang kapareho ng sa US. Yung sentiments mo sa crowded population ay parehas lang tayo I guess lahat ganito ang problem. Kami almost 50 per class tapos kulang pa ang ventilation unlike sa lasal lahat aircon. But I guess Mapua is on its way sa ganitong facilites aircon class room. Inuuntiunti lang nilapara justified ang increase ng tuition hhehehehehe. But I still love the school you know. Sya ang nagbigay sa akin ng future eh hhehehehe

" Mapua Tech" is just a nick. MAPUA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY stays parin. whats the use nang pagbili ng 5 billion para sa pangalan lang tapus babaguhin lang.

40 per class nalang po ngayon at sabi ng mga iba 3yrs pa daw para i-aircon lahat ng classrooms.

hindi barcode tulad ng DLSU, ang ginagamit ng Mapua para sa ID system, microchips na nageemit ng radio frequency at di kailangan ng direct contact sa censor. Mapua is the 2nd company and the 1st school to use this technology in the PHIL.

mapua has produced great engineers, like the one who invented the moon buggy( used in the moon exploration). And one of the founders of SILICON VALLEY which happens to be in inventor of the graphics accelerator (used in PC's). And the father of Phil. geothermal energy are all graduates of MAPUA

[total_ricall]

mapua... i wanna get out of this place!!!

i admit that i hated it here before. the facilties were slime-gutted. people were some sorta amoebic. my professors were totally hell spawns. but hey it was before alright!!!??? that was 4 years ago, when i was a freshie. i promised to my self that i would get out of this junkie place as soon as i have finished the first sem of that year. but i choked up when i received my grades...."whaaaaa, im trapped here!!!!!! i have no chance to escape..."

and now....im still here. trapped. but this place ain't a total junkie anymore. the literally decaying campus is now rehabilitated....breathing. thanks be to the new admin. i have learned to appreciate the things surrounding me. the people that i have i cursed before are now my best buddies....four years of existence with them made me realize how great people are they. i have also learned to face my professors' intimidation. and yeah they still kick my serenity and tranquility off me when they give assignments and exams. i, by any chance, would not get used to it. all i can do is to be patience with all those stuff right?

eventually, i would get out of here. when i graduate that is! give me like one and a half to two years more, and i'll kick some a$$!!! patience my dude self. patience. you may not enjoying your stay here damn much, but believe that some good things are waiting for you outside. its because you were twistedly patient, you were able to survive, and you were able to got out.

Peace.:)

As my dad told me, Mapua caters mostly to the C's and D's of the social class system while La Salle caters to the A's and B's. Mapuans are trained to be employees while La Sallians are trained to be Employers. The methodology of teaching in Mapua and La Salle are very different. La Salle is a reasearch based insitution, while Mapua is not. There are a lot of differences between the two so I guess there's no point in comparing the two institutions.

Hey yo!

You got me all wrong on the first par.

MapuaTEch is just a nick...parang La Salle which stands for De La Salle University or UP for University of the Philippines.

Ang sinasabi ko, ang official na gagamitin na name to refer to Mapua Institute of Technology ay hindi na MIT kundi MapuaTech.

TAma si ahock na ginawa ito para hindi maikumpara sa Massachussets Institute of Technology. Ok? *okay*

goobledygook why noy compar? They are both schools naman ah. :D

[ahock]

Yup PS our current president told us that time that they deliberately change the nic because they go to the US to look for opportunities and tie up for other institutions there, they really are confuse specially the americans because they there their own MIT which is also famous for engineering. Also some alumni working there agree to change the nic. Again gobbledygook LaSalles is more on a research based than Mapua but right management is also shifting to that field. Research is very very vital to school institution kaya they're overhauling the school and making it the best. I think Mapua has also tie-up with LaSalle in some other aspect. But I dont believe in you that Mapua caters C and D classes well I think before siguro but now medyo malaki na din ang tuition eh. I think institution like LaSalle and as well as UP should give more scholarships and also ask some big companies to sponsor for scholarship programs in order for these lower classes to study in best schools here.

So I've heard. My dad told me that Mapua has changed tremendously. I'm practically based in a Hawaii now so I didn't get the chance to catch-up with the changes. Don't get me wrong though, Mapua is a fine engineering school.

I heard they really prefer Mapuans kasi masisipag at madiskarte. Well LaSalle do really have edge in terms of communications I know this kasi I'm working na. But as far as work ethics is concern magaling magtrabaho ang Mapua and this really make mapua famous. Well I can attest to you this and some Mapuans kasi sa hirap na dinanas namin.

Para nga daw kami mga fungi kalat na kalat. Thats all


so ur saying na in terms of student selectivity mababa standard namin. I don't think so, yun din ang akala ko at first before entering DLSU. Actually, both schools have high student selectivity in terms of quality. Pero I won't agree w what you sed na Lasallian eng's are only good in terms of communications. That's just one of our edges, every college naman talaga brand na ng DLSU and ATENEO yun e, we are in a trisem system and theirs is a semestral system, so iba talaga, we can't compare the how well MAPUANS perform in a trisem system and LASALLIANS do their thing when we're in a semestral system. Yes, I do know that I would go to MAPUA, in fact i passed there, alam kong eng ang forte nila..I just don't get it why some have to brag about their school na MAPUA is the "only legitimate engineering school" in the country. Frankly speaking, I won't settle for that statement.

Maybe they should WORK to be there again before claiming EVERYTHING. nobody's gona take it away, the recognition is always there, it's just that it's given to someone deserving of it.

may I answer to that?..well, Yuchengco is not the owner of DLSU, he's just a high school graduate from Greenhills but he didn't study in DLSU in college. He's one of the big men behind LA SALLE'S contributors. Noon din when we heard about Yuchengco's group acquiring MAPUA, we thought we eng'g people will be transfered na sa MAPUA kac nga we thought DLSU bought it and pagsasamahin na college of engineering ng LS sa MIT. Pero the thing I know is Yuchengco would like to pattern the system of MIT after DLSU

That's it =)

Identifying Julius, we can identify him by any reason, technical by asking the administrator on what gateway or ISP he is using, by his replies, his lifestyle, the thread that he is into, the time he is logged, identifying alternicks,anything....

These are some of the clueswe have to gather as many clues as possible)

1. BSECE Grad batch ?,
2. Former Electronics and communication engineer board exam topnotch, I will ask fellows at IECEP (Institute of electronics and communications engineers of the philippines). Will someone ask the review centers, CASTRO, ERA,EXCEL,MITRC etc.

3. Has anyone know his school?
4. Is he from Visayas or mindanao or luzon?
5. Is he gay?
6. His org?
7. Anything the would help identify this man...... "
