Malala Na Ako

A young lady had delivered a speech in the UN Assembly. She is fighting for the rights of young
women to education. She was shot in her hometown in doing so but was never hindered to pursue
her advocacy. She won the admiration of many and was the youngest to receive a noble prize award.
Her name is Malala. Pero dito sa Pinas unique, women are free to have their education. Yun nga
lang, pinoproblema nila si pinansiyal. The educational institutions in our country have a different
agenda. Their purpose is not to educate, mas mahalaga sa kanila kung paano kumita. At siya rin ang
mga mag-aaral, they go to school not to learn but to have an escape to poverty. Kumukuha ng
nursing para makapag-abroad, mag-guguro para sumuweldo, mag-pupulis dahil maraming benefits,
tatakbo para kumita at magiging evangelist para sa offering. Alright.... unique... Tsaka minsan,
useless mag-aral sa mga unknown schools. Kasi pag hiring kahit cum laude ka ngunit grad sa
unkown school mas pipiliin nila ang grad sa Ateneo na malapit nang bumagsak. So what's the use..
Magtrabaho ka na lang, malay mo dun ka aasenso. At sus ginoo naman itong mga State U,
tinaguriang para sa mga scholar ng bayan pero hirap pa ring pumasok ang karamihan. Hindi dahil sa
katalinuhan, dahil pa rin kay pinasyal. Ito namang mga religious institution, kamahal pa rin ang tuition
fees. 'Asan ang charity dun?
Ang Ched naman 'ala ring magawa. Kaya sana di na nging uso yang diploma
para at least, lahat pantay-pantay. Malala na nga.
