What's the edge of Tomasino over La Sallistas, Ateneans, Philippinesians...

[princeangelo]

ano sa tingin niyo..*okay*

[colorado]

ate, ano ibig sabihin ng Philippinesians?

:glee:

[letsrockandroll]

ano po yung Philippinesians?

:shrug:

[bleachedstreaks]

Philippinesians...wtf! (sorry, just an expression :D)

uh oh, maybe you're pertaining to our isko and iska friends at diliman, right?

[anima9]

philippinesians...may noah webster not smack you in the face

di nalang kasi

What are the advantages of the tiger against the eagle, the archer, and the maroon? hopefully walang sumagot ng literal lol

[Gospel of Judas]

hm mas marami ang thomasian populace than the combined isko + lasallian + atenean populace.

hm mas marami ang thomasian populace than the combined isko + lasallian + atenean populace.

Kasama ba sa bilang yung UP Los Baños, UP Manila, UP Visayas, DLSU-Dasmariñas, Ateneo de Davao, Ateneo de Naga, at marami pang iba?

[markfroilan]

no one edges anybody, its just a title, pls understand that net worth and self worth are 2 separate things. youll be surprised to know that my atenean, lasallian, and Upian friends go to thrift stores(ukay ukay) and eat street food and strive to get the best bang for our buck - for exmaple derma, skin care, we take advantage of promos and perks, sale, and where to buy the most affordable gizmos, gadgets, and stuff.

kung malaman natin ang "edge ng pagiging thomasian", what then?

[Carl Malone]

To my fellow PExers,

Let not this thread deteriorate into another exchange of trying to prove which school has the greater edge or which school is better. I am a Thomasian and it would be foolish for me to think that my being so renders me a certain quality or trait that makes be better (or even less) than other students or alumni from another school. And the same holds true, of course, even if one is an Atenean or a Lasallian or a UPian. These are simply labels that many conveniently use to signify or classify people by either social status, academic excellence, “breeding” or any criterion that sets one apart or superior or inferior to another. Let us not fall into this kind of thinking. The idea of superiority is very seductive. Its like a drug, it will make you feel good about yourself but it doesn’t make you love or serve your fellow man like Christ or Gandhi or Mandela did.

Neither your status, academic excellence, “breed” nor whatever that superficial thing or label that sets you apart from the rest, will make you see the truth in humility that you and the others are one in One. We may appear different from one another but we are made of the same stuff – all made in the image and likeness of the One. This condition of being different from one another has a grand purpose. Among other things, it is to challenge us to demonstrate our capacity to transcend or see through our differences and realize our commonalities and the best in our humanity. Go beyond superficialities and inanities. Each one of us is meant for things far greater and sacred.

If you carefully look at what has happened in the past 50 years whether in the corporate world, in various businesses or, especially, in the government service, would you conclude that the education or training of a Thomasian, Atenean, Lasallian or UPian has contributed to lessening proverty, corruption or improving business ethics? I don’t think so. Because otherwise, this country would not be in the state of mess and depravity that it is now.

Yet, there are people who are silently bringing necessary and positive changes, though relatively few in number, who couldn’t care less whether they graduated from this or that school (never mind if its an “elite” school or not). They move without being noticed or a desire to be noticed; and if noticed, it is because of the undeniable fragrance of the intent of their actions to serve their countrymen and country better.

And so to the young PExers, know and feel that which is true and honest. Think, observe and be wary of how things or ideas may influence you so you do not succumbed or be seduced by superficial and empty constructions. It is everywhere around you.

well said! *okay*

mods, please close this thread.

grabe tinanong ko lang q anung edge... hehe ... well the Values that we acquire...

[Carl Malone]

Salamat sa iyong comment princeangelo.

Sa aking obserbasyon parang hindi yata naitanim ng malalim ng mga top four(4) universities ang mga values (meaning positive values that is supposed to help man and society) na gusto nilang ituro. Kaya siguro hindi ko maituro kung anong "edge in values" ang meron yung isa kaysa duon sa isa or sa mga iba pa.

Dito na lamang sa aming companya kung saan ako ay nagtatrabaho, sa aming mga matataas na opisyales, dalawa ang galing sa UP, dalawa sa Ateneo at isa galing sa UST. Magagaling sila kung sa magaling. May magaling sumulat sa wikang Ingles at "humawak ng pera ng kumpanya". May magaling makaisip ng mga paraan upang lumago ang pera ng kumpanya kahit na ito'y may bahid ng panlalamang. May magaling din makaisip ng paraan upang makaiwas sa gusot ng batas o sa BIR. May magaling din mag-PR at makaisip ng mga pilosopiya ng finance or business management, nga lamang "it's black business without a heart". Samantala, ako naman, na si Carl Malone na tiga-UST, ay isang "guilty bystander" (pahiram lang po kay Fra. Thomas Merton).

Lumingon ka sa gobyerno, sa senado man o sa kongreso. Naku, marami sa kanila ay galing sa "big 4" kuno. At lalo na sa executive branch, especially cabinet level (sec./assec./usec.), marami ang galing din sa "big 4". Ngayon, tanungin mo ang iyong mga kaibigan, magulang o kahit 'yong istambay na lang sa kanto: Ano ang naidulot ng kabutihan ng mga naninilbihan sa gobyerno?

At ano ang headline ngayon sa mga pahayagan: Supreme Court pinarusahan at kinastigo ang mga justices ng Court of Appeals ukol sa Meralco vs. GSIS case. Ang masakit, mismong ang supreme court ay napakarumi ng bakuran; mas malalaki ang lagayan duon! Ngunit ang supreme court at ang court of appeals ay naglalaman karamihan ng mga nagtapos sa UP at Ateneo, 'di ba? Oops, meron rin pala tiga-UST duon, mas kaunti nga lang.

Nag-post ako ng aking diwa kasi gusto kong palakihin ang realidad ng mga PExers dito. Itaas natin ang kamalayan natin. Hindi yung school image lamang ang paguusapan or kaninong eskwelehan ba ang pinakamagaling. Eh ano mapapala natin diyan?

Sabi ng PEx administrator: "Please remember that posting in PinoyExchange is very powerful."

Aber, tignan nga natin kung "powerful"?

asan? asan ang values? owwww. values??? humbleness ata wala dun e noh? kasi you keep on insisting na kelangan talaga may edge eh.

[Carl Malone]

Huwag naman po ganyan Mr. ilustrados03.

I strongly feel that princeangelo's posting was an honest query.

Mag-palitan tayo na may hangaring magpalinaw ng kanyang kuru-kuro tungkol sa anumang isyu at umiwas na manlibak o tumuligsa ng kapwa. Maaari natin punahin ang ideya o kuru-kuro ngunit huwag po sana yung tao o kapatid natin na nag-post ng ideya o tanong. Irespeto natin ang bawat isa.

Ganun pa man, peace be with you princeangelo at ilustrados03.

Salamat po.

sir carl malone... pagbigay mo na ang post na ito.. nasa high school pa lang kasi siya.. :bashful:

[princeangelo]

oo siguro hindi lahat ng tomasino ay may values.. but our lives are enriched by the Thomistic Values and the 3 c's competence compassion, commitment...

sundot sa kamalayan *okay*

[sunpower]

ano sa tingin niyo..*okay*



I think, you're more exposed to diversity of students. You meet people from a continuoum of opposite extremes considering various courses, students' cultural backgrounds, financial status and family upbringing as well.
